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!

I really need a "hide read post" option ๐Ÿ˜บ

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

[โ€“] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface

When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app

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

It's good to be back!

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."

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

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

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.

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 :)

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

[โ€“] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

Personalized feed is not working. It keeps loading forever.

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€“] redbr64@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Woohoooo

So many layout options lol.

Looks really great so far!

[โ€“] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Testing it now! So far so good!

[โ€“] thrakkerzog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Godnroc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[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

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!
