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!

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

It's great to have boost back!

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

This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

The UI looks freaking awesome ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. Thanks for creating this!

Do you use some autofill app or the Android default?

Personalized feed is not working. It keeps loading forever.

Woohoooo

So many layout options lol.

Looks really great so far!

I'm currently getting an error about missing my TOTP token. Have you implemented 2-factor authentication support?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was implemented but there is a bug preventing the field to show up. Fixed for the next beta. Thanks!

Same issue here. Surprised more people don't have totp enabled.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Testing it now! So far so good!

This feels so good. Like putting on those old jeans and finding out that despite it being a decade old, it still fits you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yay, it's here! My notes so far:

When I tap a comment in my replies, it takes me straight to replying to it. It'd be great if it took me to the comment in context under the post so I can upvote, downvote, reply etc rather than just reply.

I'm getting errors trying to upload images that I took with my phone camera, presumably because they're large. I'm able to upload them in Voyager, but it'd be awesome to be able to do it all from Boost.

A feature I really like from LiftOff is the ability to crop images before I upload them, could this be added?

Thank you :)

It's amazing how much it feels like boost for Reddit. Thanks!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Is this app going to be open source? Because I had a bad experience with another Lemmy app recently stuffed full of trackers that I really don't want to repeat.

Edit: never mind, I just saw in another thread that it's not, so it's not for me.

I used to use Boost for Reddit and I will give this a try!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's good to be back!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I grabbed the testing version because I'm very excited for Boost to return! Unfortunately I found an issue right away. It appears that the app doesn't support 2FA for instances that use it. I got an error stating "missing totp token."

Hello!! Loving what I see so far!! Question: Is there any way you can create folders to organize communities into? Thanx

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi! When I try to add a second account (in fact this account that I am posting from now), I always get an "incorrect login" error. I have triple checked that the login information is correct -- also I can log into this account on other lemmy apps and on desktop. If it helps, the first account I have logged into using Boost is on a different instance than the second account.

Anyway, I want to also say thank you, Ruben! I loved Boost for Reddit and I am loving Boost for Lemmy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Also just had this issue, with account on a different instance

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The Google Play beta process was a real pain, but I'm so glad to be back.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Works great. It really feels like I'm using Boost for Reddit. Thank you mate, ad-free version purchased :)
