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!

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.

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

Now this is what I've been waiting for! -- posted from Boost for Lemmy

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Congrats!

[–] kayaven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Managed to export my old settings from the Reddit app, and importing it just works flawlessly! Thank you so much RubΓ©n! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Great news!

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I missed your app @rmayayo . My home screen just didn't look right without boost

[–] cease70@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I used ReVanced Manager to continue using Boost as my Reddit app of choice, so I'm obviously loving the look and feel of this app for Lemmy too. Looks and feels pretty much exactly the same. Great job by the developer!

[–] knobbysideup@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Looks great so far! Already paid for it. Looking forward to the honing of everything.

[–] t0m5k1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yes, like coming back home.

I'm home πŸ₯² thanks so much, already launched the rocket

[–] lucario_owo@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

Finally feeling right at home, the only thing I noticed is that images load faster than other clients, thanks for that!

[–] TheHotze@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's great to have boost back!

[–] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Switching view does not seem to work without relaunching the app.

Thank you so much for this app! Was my favorite for reddit and soo happy that lemmy gets one now!

Its so nice being back tho this ui!

[–] timou@jlai.lu 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Blinky_katt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I really need a "hide read post" option 😺

[–] rmayayo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hide read was a Reddit feature. In Lemmy, you can mark a post as read, then disable "Show read posts" on your account preferences.

It's been a long road. I'm looking forward to getting the boost experience again.

[–] toned_chupacabra@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So thankful for your hard work bringing Boost to Lemmy. Everything feels "back to normal" now.

Edit: just bought it.

[–] Alkaseltzer028@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tried installing the app as a tester, but I get a message telling me that google purchases are not available in my country.

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hi, if I long press the home screen icon to access quick actions like Local or subscribed it launch the app in blank with no content (only the navigation bars). In order to fix this i have to close and launch the app again.

Cheers!

[–] sanbeiji@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

The UI looks freaking awesome πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž. Thanks for creating this!

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

It works perfectly! Β‘Gracias, RubΓ©n!

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Woohoooo

So many layout options lol.

Looks really great so far!

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Testing it now! So far so good!

[–] TvanBuuren@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] thrakkerzog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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