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!

Can you reduce the contrast of these lines Can you reduce the contrast of these lines

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!

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

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€“] afal@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Fixed for the next beta

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

I don't know if it has been posted. After try many lemmy client its end to sync and boost.

But compared both apps there is one difference that I feel, scrolling performance is better on sync. On boost feel little bit lag/stutter.

Else just customization like other comments mentioned.

I hope it will be fixed in next build.

Thanks for build great apps. ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] gwi1785@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

Is there an option for the comments where I can just long-press to select and copy text instead of needing to go into a copy menu and then using the select text option? That can be bit tedious, and I typically copy most longer comments and send them to my voice-aloud app for TTS. It's definitely the main feature I miss about the old RIF app - easy text selection and perfect Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support.

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

It's a great start!

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

A minor ui glitch(?)

When scrolling through posts I noticed that occasionally the post summary would slightly scroll up cropping the first line in the summary.

After playing with it for a few minutes, I can reproduce the behavior by pressing on the summary, holding the press and dragging left or right, continuing to hold the press and dragging up or down.

It seems I tend to scroll with a slight diagonal motion instead of a pure up and down motion.

Screen shots showing the glitch: The post in godot@programming.dev, the "hey guys..." line gets scrolled off screen with the "diagonal scroll motion"

Normal post look

Glitched look

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

Images are able to be posted in comments. Ability to press and make them bigger would be useful.

Understood would be difficult with the press to collapse feature.

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ready for the next version

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

Any idea when the next version will be released?
