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!

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!

Youtube links default configuration is to open in the external app, but it still seems to try to load internally when clicking thumbnail or link in a comment (opens externally from main link though), and gets stuck on spinner (something to do with preroll ad in video?)

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!

You've made my month!! If I spot any issues I shall report them :-)

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

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

[-] CapeData@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] frogfruit@discuss.online 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you for making ad-free affordable ♥️

[-] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Syakaizin@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] sanbeiji@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

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 👍😎. Thanks for creating this!

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

It works perfectly! ¡Gracias, Rubén!

[-] red@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The welcome message is Welcome !username. I think it should be Welcome username!

[-] 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!

[-] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year 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!

[-] pebble3292@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thank you! So happy that this is happening!

Immediate feedback is that it does not allow login with 2FA (TOTP) yet => "missing totp token".

Edit: Ads removed! Great work!

Edit2: Found another comment and the info that this will be fixed with the next beta... also just set my custom theme to my old boost for reddit colors and it just so nice to have exactly the same user experience with the new lemmy app again. Thank you so much @rmayayo@lemmy.world

Install beta 1.0.1 and let me know if it is fixed.

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

[-] 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!

[-] toned_chupacabra@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

Awesome. Congrats!

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

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

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

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

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

It's great to have boost back!

[-] PhatInferno@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] 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 Rubén! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

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

Great news!

[-] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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