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!

Does the login support TOTP tokens? It says I didn't submit one but there wasn't an option to.

[-] rmayayo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

There was a bug showing the totp field when required. Fixed for the next beta.

Thank you for all your hard work Ruben! The only reason I started using the R site was because of Boost.

I want to support you! I had a question, if I buy the ad removal now, will it also go over to the full version when released?

Awesome stuff, so much better than I expected for an initial release.

[-] MrNemobody@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Already using it, and it's beautiful 🥹

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

[-] UlrikHD@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Lovely work, Jerboa is nice, but old habits die hard and boost is what I'm used to.

My only complaint is that BankID won't allow me to pay to remove ads, but that's not really the fault of the app.

Can anyone who is a moderator confirm that they don't have access to mod tools? As an admin, I can't see an option for checking out reports, or for a way to ban/purge users. Seems like I still need the Web browser for those things.

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.

Oh man, we're so close. I've missed Boost terribly.

[-] XanXic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Long time boost reddit user. Feels natural again. Already bought ad free on principle lol. After the whole Sync for Lemmy price gouge fiasco. Like jesus

Where does one give feedback?

Edit: right off the bat the blur for nsfw needs to be a bit more muddled. I like nsfw and stuff and tend to stick to /all so it shows up often. But the blur isn't really doing a food job when it's like just a out of focus naked woman compared to a general sense of shape the other apps ive used hit. There's no plausible deniability lol. And I just need to see red and the title to know not to click gore stuff

This is amazing, thank you! I'll be buying ad free the moment I finish this post.

For anyone unable to login due to 2FA: a workaround for now is to login elsewhere, disable 2FA, login to Boost, then re-enable 2FA. Bit of a pain because you get a new token but as long as you don't log out of Boost it appears to stick.

[-] Deadful@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Is there a way to see a list of the posts I have upvoted and downvoted like I could with Boost for Reddit or is tracking those metrics limited by the lemmy platform? I have been missing this info in Jerboa and just assumed it would be tracked in Boost for Lemmy.

Is there any launch date on beta release?

[-] daBeans@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Kyiro@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

It's incredible! It's the perfect Lemmy app already

[-] daveuk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Been waiting for this to arrive after using Boost for Reddit for ages! Looking good so far

[-] ccf@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

commenting from the testing app right now! thanks for all your work. finally… the void on my home screen can once again be filled by boost :-)

[-] timou@jlai.lu 5 points 2 years ago

Awesome! I've been waiting for it since reddit closed.

I'm missing the "mark as read when scrolling" though.

[-] bankster21@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you. I am trying it out right now and it feels great.

Would it be possible to add the number of posts in the search results next to the number of members when searching for a new sub? It just so happens that many subs are created but content is missing. So it would be nice to know in advance how much content is there before clicking it.

Also would it be possible to retain the search results? Whenever I click on an empty sub and go back, the search results have been purged and I need to start a new search. Quite annoying if you are trying to find me subs.

[-] wason@lemmy.ninja 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the app but can you add support for 2FA please? @rmayayo@lemmy.world

[-] rmayayo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yes, fixed for the next beta. Thanks!

[-] CapeData@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Looks great. Suggest that the backup file have a unique name so it is not confused with the Boost for Reddit backup.

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

My first comment from boost yoooo.
