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!

Thank you very much! I used Boost for Reddit, which was amazing, and I didn't use any app for Lemmy until this was released.

Is it possible to get an amoled dark theme? Thanks for all your hard work!

Just got it installed and set up! Looks great!

If I had one complaint it would be that mod tools are missing. :( Or if they are there, I can't find them. :)

Loving it so far! I'm glad Boost is back! I have one problem, though! I'd love to pay to remove the ads but when I press Remove Ads I get a screen with a blue background and "Remove Ads" right in the middle of the screen but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually pay to have the ads removed!

Other than that, it works really well. Feels very responsive, too!

Very nice. Within five minutes of using it I've removed other Lemmy apps from my phone.

It would be nice to have something that guides you through finding communities in other servers as I don't feel like I'm seeing them all.

It looks like the "c" community links aren't working. Like this: /c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world.

The Trending Communities posts are full of these if you need more examples (here's today's post).

Edit: weird, my comment links aren't working. They're showing as normal text for me, but when you go to copy, select text, you can see that they're hyperlinks.

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?

This look great! Was struggling with Jerboa for the last few days. I gave up and got into Tildes instead!!

This feels familiar!! ๐Ÿ‘ Awesome

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

[โ€“] JotaLuis@eslemmy.es 1 points 2 years ago

This has been a very good idea!

Loving the app! I'm having trouble swiping away media. It doesn't feel sensitive enough and usually takes me several swipes. I've enabled the tap to close which works amazingly but muscle memory wants to swipe.

Recommendation/Hope: it would be amazing to have a media peek where I can tap and hold on a thumbnail and it enlarges the picture. Awesome app, thanks!

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

Yeah! Thanks for the great Work. Btw. Rndnsfw is Not working ;)

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

Should old boost users who have paid for boost for reddit, get the premium by default??

[โ€“] Stamets@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

No and I say this as someone who had premium.

They're two different apps. This isn't as easy as copy and pasting all the code. There's a reason it took a couple months to release this app. All that new work.

What you're asking for would be like saying to Toyota you deserve their new model for free because you bought the 2016 version.

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

+1 This shouldn't even be something people need to ask.

But I'm assuming that this is the first version so maybe the dev will make it happen in an upcoming update
