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!

There's this general problem:

My password was too long for Sync and Voyager and now also Boost; I've been using Jerboa since it worked in that client.

Since Boost also had the issue I changed my password to a shorter one.

The old one was something like

Friday-Ramble-Patriot-Apricot5-Tractor-Litigator-Shove-Antivirus

... and the new one is shorter and is causing no issues.

Posting from Boost, already using it so much more the 3 previous apps I had (Jerboa, Voyager and can't remember). Feels like home. Thanks so much.

Looks great!

It's good to be back! This might just be my having missed a setting, but my system navigation bar has a white background even with the OLED dark mode active here. Aside from that, flawless so far!

[โ€“] khuldraeseth@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, I'm just silly. Colored navigation bar, right there in theme settings. Easy to find with a search in the settings :)

Wife is getting this error when navigating to the download page from the "You are a Tester" page. It loads a Google Play page with the download button, then gives this error. Opening the Play app doesn't give her the download button. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

For some reason I'm unable to pay to remove ads but I believe it might be a Google issue. Loving the app so far though!

[โ€“] Dufrais@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Feels like home, have used Boost for absolutely years, so glad it's here for Lemmy now too

Hey all, I may be missing something obvious, but is it possible to add an account for an instance not in the pre-made list?

[โ€“] WyldeFyres@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I would love to know this too.

Edit: yes, you can. Just type in the URL yourself in the instance box. No need to select from the list.

Thanks @rmayayo@lemmy.world (testing how I can mention at users in Lemmy lol). Loved the app before, and this reincarnation is why I'm even in Lemmy right now in the first place. Already bought ad-free and also put some extra fuel in the rocket! ๐Ÿš€

Edit: testing mention again, since I didn't see it become a link in my comment: @rmayayo

Is there a setting to show seperate upvote/downvote counts? I'd prefer that over the "net" score which reminds me of r*ddit.

[โ€“] Nipplecreek@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I sort by only gifs, pictures, or text? It was an option for the reddit version but I can't find how to do it on this new version for Lemmy.

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That option was disabled for Lemmy. Maybe it returns in the future.

[โ€“] baldissara@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My experience with the app has been amazing so far. It actually works far better than the official lemmy.world website

[โ€“] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] ilikemoney@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Only issue I'm having is random timeouts, but I think that just a lemmy thing in general. Nice app

[โ€“] devious@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have never used boost for Reddit but I am posting from it right now and first impressions are IT IS AWESOME! An easy ad free purchase from me!

So far it feels solid to me. Thanks so much for your hard work

[โ€“] dylanme2001@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you! you have done an amazing job! ๐ŸŒท bought the app right away. Not a bug but a question / request : will you implement a 'History' tab in the sidebar, like there was in boost for reddit? I find it very useful having the ability to scroll through posts I've viewed but not saved.. especially after nights my mind wasn't so clear.. Thanks again rmayayo! ๐ŸŒท

[โ€“] ChiefGeek1@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you. Ad free purchased! Keep up the good work

[โ€“] kosanovskiy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I also can't seem to press and hold on taps for images when in the full-exapanded screen

[โ€“] kosanovskiy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wondering if you plan to add swipe left from the right side of the phone to go back to the last/prior comment page
