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!

      One feature that’d be nice to have is the ability to add other instances as guest accounts.

      Quick question. I thought Reddit’s API price debacle (the entire reason I’m here instead) forced Boost for Reddit to shut down, or at the very least charge a high price. I’m surprised to see it still working. What exactly is going on?

            API keys is what identifies the client/application. So basically, Reddit sees it as me using a personal custom app or script, and it’s therefore not blocked.

            They didn’t shut down the API, they just made it prohibitively expensive to use. For most people, that falls into the free tier.

      My thought exactly! It was ok while it lasted, but finally, I’m where I want to be! Thank the Lord.

    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

    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.

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

    Thanks for your hard work on this! Paid for premium immediately :)

    I’d love to see integration for custom emojis, for example accessing Lemmy on the web I am able to type : and then an emoji name and it will autofill emojis from my instance.

      Same here, I don’t think I ever bought a premium app faster. Bought it before even changing any settings. Boosted the rocket once and still only paid a fraction of what Sync is asking. And it’s the far better app already, no-brainer.

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

        Thank you! It’s in “account preferences.” I didn’t see it in there. That’s exactly what I was looking for

      Edit: found how to fix this in “account preferences”

      Mine hide in the short term when I “Mark as Read” (you can turn on the “Mark as Read” checkmark button in post settings). But the marked as read/hidden status isn’t holding over, if I navigate away from the page I was on. So every time I navigate to All, I’m seeing the same posts I just marked as read a couple minutes ago

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

    Heyyyy! I dunno when the app installed, but I just noticed it in my app drawer. So glad I registered for the download.

    Thanks for putting in the effort to move over to Lemmy. I greatly appreciate it and immediately slammed the no ads purchase. When I can ill toss a few bucks to fuel up that rocket ship.

    Love you dude <3

    Live long and prosper

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

    I grabbed the testing version because I’m very excited for Boost to return! Unfortunately I found an issue right away. It appears that the app doesn’t support 2FA for instances that use it. I got an error stating “missing totp token.”

    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!
