Hi Boost gang,

The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.

Thanks for your patience!

Youtube links default configuration is to open in the external app, but it still seems to try to load internally when clicking thumbnail or link in a comment (opens externally from main link though), and gets stuck on spinner (something to do with preroll ad in video?)

You've made my month!! If I spot any issues I shall report them :-)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I've been waiting for it since reddit closed.

I'm missing the "mark as read when scrolling" though.

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

When someone replies to your comments, you get a notification. But clicking the notification takes you to the 'mentions' tab, instead of the 'replies' tab

Thank you. I am trying it out right now and it feels great.

Would it be possible to add the number of posts in the search results next to the number of members when searching for a new sub? It just so happens that many subs are created but content is missing. So it would be nice to know in advance how much content is there before clicking it.

Also would it be possible to retain the search results? Whenever I click on an empty sub and go back, the search results have been purged and I need to start a new search. Quite annoying if you are trying to find me subs.

Heyyyy! I dunno when the app installed, but I just noticed it in my app drawer. So glad I registered for the download.

Thanks for putting in the effort to move over to Lemmy. I greatly appreciate it and immediately slammed the no ads purchase. When I can ill toss a few bucks to fuel up that rocket ship.

Love you dude <3

Live long and prosper

It's been a long road. I'm looking forward to getting the boost experience again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I used ReVanced Manager to continue using Boost as my Reddit app of choice, so I'm obviously loving the look and feel of this app for Lemmy too. Looks and feels pretty much exactly the same. Great job by the developer!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yes, like coming back home.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you! So happy that this is happening!

Immediate feedback is that it does not allow login with 2FA (TOTP) yet => "missing totp token".

Edit: Ads removed! Great work!

Edit2: Found another comment and the info that this will be fixed with the next beta... also just set my custom theme to my old boost for reddit colors and it just so nice to have exactly the same user experience with the new lemmy app again. Thank you so much @[email protected]

Install beta 1.0.1 and let me know if it is fixed.

It's great to have boost back!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It works perfectly! Β‘Gracias, RubΓ©n!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The welcome message is Welcome !username. I think it should be Welcome username!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Great news!

Now this is what I've been waiting for! -- posted from Boost for Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tried installing the app as a tester, but I get a message telling me that google purchases are not available in my country.

Finally feeling right at home, the only thing I noticed is that images load faster than other clients, thanks for that!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So thankful for your hard work bringing Boost to Lemmy. Everything feels "back to normal" now.

Edit: just bought it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Congrats!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I missed your app @rmayayo . My home screen just didn't look right without boost

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Looks great so far! Already paid for it. Looking forward to the honing of everything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Switching view does not seem to work without relaunching the app.

Managed to export my old settings from the Reddit app, and importing it just works flawlessly! Thank you so much RubΓ©n! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)
