Saw that, isn't it strange to never have seen that from any other app then?

Hey Ruben! Long time Boost user and I was wondering if there is a community for your lemmy app? I was active in the previous one :)

Also, might I suggest a small addition for my favorite feature, the image uploading! To add alt text to images for accessibility.

it's possibly to create image captions with a simple [reference image](reference.url) tag by adding ![reference image description/alt text](reference.url) and I could definitely see just a little extra space for adding it :)

Here is the accessibility thread discussing it which will have better info: https://beehaw.org/post/686974

Thanks for everything you do!!

He does have a community on lemmy world. Here's the link: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Edit: link

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Just as a heads up, while Ruben was the one who made the comment in the screenshot, Ruben isn't the one who posted the screenshot here in the comment you replied to πŸ˜…

Whoops! Haha! Thanks for letting me know :)

The dev has responded on that issue

"Dev here.

The dialog and its content is not created by me, it is a standard solution from Google to comply with GDPR and other laws. More info here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/10114014?hl=en

The consent dialog is also required by Google AdMob to show ads, and it is shown when the ad network is initialized.

When the app launches, first it checks for the remove ads purchase, and if it is not present, it will initialize the ads sdk. The ad network is not initialized if the remove ads purchase is detected.

Boost for Reddit was using the very same ad networks and consent dialog. "
