Thank you. You'll be rewarded well as more people try out lemmy

[-] Nyvios@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Thanks for the update!

I found a post though that still has very bad performance https://sh.itjust.works/post/35534975 - it's safe for work, it's about a game/mod. Scrolling through the post is very choppy, the app (or my phone) is really struggling. I'm using an Xperia 1 VI.

[-] rmayayo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I see what's going on. Boost only resizes images hosted on Lemmy and that post uses external images ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

[-] ghen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I thought surely this guy was making it up, but yeah that's odd. I'm on a Samsung Note 10.

Not a bug but a feature request. Can you add the content filters like the reddit boost had? So you can filter between images, videos, gifs, and script posts.

[-] riot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

This is something I'm really missing too. It would be so lovely to be able to filter everything away, except text and link posts, for when I'm in bed at night. It was one of my most used features with Boost for Reddit, so hopefully it can be implemented in Boost for Lemmy some day too :D

Anyway, thanks for everything you do, rmayayo! Can't imagine using any other app for Lemmy.

[-] puppycat 6 points 2 days ago

thank you!! i don't think i can ever adjust to using a different lemmy app (i had to look for an IOS one for my partner and none of them were as good as boost) so im glad you're still developing and being awesome :>

BETA ME UP BABY

[-] Schal330@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

spoilerGreat job!

[-] cupcakezealot 6 points 2 days ago

yaaaay! i go between boost and eternity but this new update is wonderful boosts rocket again

all i want now is for the down vote buttons to go away since they're not used on my instance

a screenshot from eternity for lemmy showing a post with the down vote button removed

and maybe support for instance emojis when composing like when you type : and then it autofills suggested instance emojis :)

[-] rmayayo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The vote buttons is on the to-do list I didn't know about the emojis thing ๐Ÿง

[-] cupcakezealot 5 points 2 days ago

no worries!! :) thank you!

the pr for emojis was here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/877

don't know if it being in lemmy-ui makes it difficult to be in boost though so if its too much don't worry about it :)

[-] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago

~Nice super/subscript,~ ^Thanks^

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Ty! I'll boost the Rocket (again) ๐Ÿ˜

BTW: any chance you can smooth out the Rocket? It shakes pretty bad the whole time.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

This is such a great app

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 2 days ago

Any plans to add swipe gesture actions to posts/comments?

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in 5 points 2 days ago

Thanks for your work!

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Ayo, welcome back! Thanks for the update

[-] helios@social.ggbox.fr 4 points 2 days ago

Thanks a lot ! The fix for scrolling image-heavy post is much appreciated.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Thank you for the update!!

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I knew getting the ad-free version last week was totally worth it! This app rocks, consider not having a coffee today and supporting this developer!!

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Where should I post feature requests?

(Actually misfeature removal request: Renumbering numbered lists is so bad that even Reddit removed it in the official app)

[-] harlekin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Thank you very much for your efforts. Is there a "jump to top" button available? If so, can you point me in the right direction to enable it?

[-] rmayayo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

In feeds is in the bottom-right button with the plus sign

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thank you!
Out of curiosity, does it still also support Reddit style spoilers?

[-] rmayayo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Nope, I'm using a different markdown library. Also they wouldn't render on Lemmy website for the rest of users

[-] paranoid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
[-] xhenon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the update, really appreciate it

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
