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!

My experience with the app has been amazing so far. It actually works far better than the official lemmy.world website

I'm trying this. Is very smooth!

Wife is getting this error when navigating to the download page from the "You are a Tester" page. It loads a Google Play page with the download button, then gives this error. Opening the Play app doesn't give her the download button. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Hi! When I try to add a second account (in fact this account that I am posting from now), I always get an "incorrect login" error. I have triple checked that the login information is correct -- also I can log into this account on other lemmy apps and on desktop. If it helps, the first account I have logged into using Boost is on a different instance than the second account.

Anyway, I want to also say thank you, Ruben! I loved Boost for Reddit and I am loving Boost for Lemmy!

Can you reduce the contrast of these lines Can you reduce the contrast of these lines

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

Looks promising. So excited!

When I press install it wants me to enter my password. When I'm back to press Install nothing happens. Whaaat.

Edit: works after about 45min. Patience ain't easy.

Edit2: You mean I can remove ads in this beautiful piece of work of an app for a normal price? Guess what! I paid! Nice work!

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

Looks great!

[โ€“] ChiefGeek1@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you. Ad free purchased! Keep up the good work

Thanks @rmayayo@lemmy.world (testing how I can mention at users in Lemmy lol). Loved the app before, and this reincarnation is why I'm even in Lemmy right now in the first place. Already bought ad-free and also put some extra fuel in the rocket! ๐Ÿš€

Edit: testing mention again, since I didn't see it become a link in my comment: @rmayayo

Is there a setting to show seperate upvote/downvote counts? I'd prefer that over the "net" score which reminds me of r*ddit.

[โ€“] Nipplecreek@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I sort by only gifs, pictures, or text? It was an option for the reddit version but I can't find how to do it on this new version for Lemmy.

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

That option was disabled for Lemmy. Maybe it returns in the future.

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

It just gives me an error when i try to download it. "Google play payments are not supported in your country. I'm in Germany

[โ€“] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Works great. It really feels like I'm using Boost for Reddit. Thank you mate, ad-free version purchased :)

[โ€“] khuldraeseth@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's good to be back! This might just be my having missed a setting, but my system navigation bar has a white background even with the OLED dark mode active here. Aside from that, flawless so far!

For some reason I'm unable to pay to remove ads but I believe it might be a Google issue. Loving the app so far though!

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

Feels like home, have used Boost for absolutely years, so glad it's here for Lemmy now too

I'm here ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] wayl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Is is possible to opt out from comments notification on own posts? I didn't find the checkbox as I used to have in the old reddit app.

[โ€“] SaintNewts@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's a great start!

[โ€“] adityajazz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know if it has been posted. After try many lemmy client its end to sync and boost.

But compared both apps there is one difference that I feel, scrolling performance is better on sync. On boost feel little bit lag/stutter.

Else just customization like other comments mentioned.

I hope it will be fixed in next build.

Thanks for build great apps. ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] devious@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have never used boost for Reddit but I am posting from it right now and first impressions are IT IS AWESOME! An easy ad free purchase from me!

[โ€“] ilikemoney@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Only issue I'm having is random timeouts, but I think that just a lemmy thing in general. Nice app
