Thank you for developing this app! Being able to use Boost again has felt like being right at home. Your UI/UX design is just amazing, and I've sorely missed it since Reddit's whole thing happened.

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.
๐๐
Now that's a seamless switch between platforms!
Ad-free already purchased!
One feature that'd be nice to have is the ability to add other instances as guest accounts.
Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface
When someone replies to your comments, you get a notification. But clicking the notification takes you to the 'mentions' tab, instead of the 'replies' tab
Fixed for the next version. Thanks!
When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app
The welcome message is Welcome !username. I think it should be Welcome username!
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!
Also just had this issue, with account on a different instance
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.
That option was disabled for Lemmy. Maybe it returns in the future.
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!
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?
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.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I typed the full URL and it just told me it failed. Hmm...
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! ๐
Edit: testing mention again, since I didn't see it become a link in my comment: @rmayayo
for some reason it doesn't become a link like the !imaginarytrains@lemm.ee syntax does (although it does in most apps), but it does notify the recipient (the first syntax, including both @'s)
Is there a setting to show seperate upvote/downvote counts? I'd prefer that over the "net" score which reminds me of r*ddit.
Feels like home, have used Boost for absolutely years, so glad it's here for Lemmy now too
My experience with the app has been amazing so far. It actually works far better than the official lemmy.world website
Works great. It really feels like I'm using Boost for Reddit. Thank you mate, ad-free version purchased :)
would.
can't login to my instanse. nor another.
am not making a new login.

Does your password have more than 60 chars? If that's the case, type only the first 60 chars. This should be fixed for the next version.
If not, let me know the error message.
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.
Browsing the list of communities from an instance will be added soon
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. :)
I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!
This look great! Was struggling with Jerboa for the last few days. I gave up and got into Tildes instead!!
This feels familiar!! ๐ Awesome
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!
Random NSFW isn't working...
Or so I've heard...
I think that was a reddit specific function.
It's great, I bought ad free just for your efforts. But 2 problems so far:
-
error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.
-
can't see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.
What can i/we do?
When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90โฐ counter-clockwise.
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!
Is is possible to opt out from comments notification on own posts? I didn't find the checkbox as I used to have in the old reddit app.
It's a great start!
