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 for making ad-free affordable โ™ฅ๏ธ

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

[โ€“] Kyiro@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] YetAnotherMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Done! How/where do you prefer feedback?

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.

I've been using Sync while waiting for Boost and I've come to really like the feature that allows you to upvote posts by slightly swiping left on the post. Would love to see that adopted by boost!

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!

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

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

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

Edit: just bought it.

[โ€“] cease70@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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!

[โ€“] Syakaizin@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app

[โ€“] sanbeiji@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (3 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 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. Thanks for creating this!

[โ€“] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Great news!

[โ€“] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface

[โ€“] kayaven@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[โ€“] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

[โ€“] TheHotze@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's great to have boost back!

[โ€“] knobbysideup@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] lucario_owo@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Alkaseltzer028@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years 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.
