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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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?

Amazing work

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

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

[โ€“] Nautilla@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It just gives me an error when i try to download it. "Google play payments are not supported in your country. I'm in Germany

[โ€“] Boldizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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!

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?

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.

[โ€“] JakoJakoJako13@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Which app is that? So we know to avoid it.

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] IronBabyFists@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90โฐ counter-clockwise.

[โ€“] schnitzelbub@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It's great, I bought ad free just for your efforts. But 2 problems so far:

  1. error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.

  2. can't see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.

What can i/we do?

[โ€“] overload@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] afal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looking forward to trying this! I'm unable to log in on this account currently as there isn't a TOTP field :)

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fixed for the next beta
