Babe wake up, Boost for Lemmy just dropped

Can you explain the data collection usage on Google play store?

How would you like us to report bugs? Create a post in the community?

I just installed the app and so far it's working pretty well, though if I'm being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.

In terms of features I'd be interested in seeing there are three that come to mind:

1. Community icons in compact/ dense views. While Lemmy is still in its infancy, I have to browse c/All most of the time and being able to visually see the community the post is coming for is definitely helpful for browsing.
2. Multiple accounts in one feed. In my opinion, this is one thing that Lift-off has over every different Lemmy app. With so many instances with varying levels of federation, I find being able to browse all my accounts at once to be a very convenient feature.
3. Being able to download to an SD card. I know SD cards are a dying breed, so this is probably low priority for you, but as someone with very low internal storage; but a very large SD card, it's always a welcome feature when I can find it.

Overall I would say this app already shows a significant amount of polish. Hopefully the development can continue even further.

Random NSFW isn't working...

Or so I've heard...

Let's go! 🚀

It's gorgeous. Just as I remember. Like it was never taken from us. I was trying out a couple other apps while waiting for the beta and I immediately uninstalled both of those and removed ads for Boost. It's a really well designed app in all aspects. Thanks Rubén!

Does buying ad free disable usage data sharing with the ad networks?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Can't login due to 2FA!

Other than that..the fact that I was able to export my Boost For Reddit settings and import them for Lemmy is just perfect 🥹🥹🥹

Oh! and now we get picture previews in the comments! Hooray!

Hello :) I love it so much! Haven't realised how much I missed this interface!

Ist there any chance to integrate mod-tools

Just downloaded it and I am honestly so happy

Another post on here said it feels like home

And it really does and I love it so much

I feel like now lemmy can 100% fill the void that reddit left

Its so nice to have Boost back! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Im so very appreciative!

Btw, brand new comments are showing as 9 hours old, my own included. I'm in Japan, on a Samsung S23, let me know if there is any debug info I can give.

Thanks again!

I'll let you know how it works once I can log in. Right now, TOTP doesn't seem to be supported so there's no way for me to complete authentication.

Ah! Finally, Boost is back!

Thank you Ruben

Just launched the Rocket, ad free now

Edit: it's already the best Lemmy client avaliable

Oh fuck. If Boost shows up for Lemmy, I may have to join Lemmy instead...I fuck with Boost HARD

I've been happy with Sync but more polished competition is a good thing. First thing that bothers me here though is seeing total "karma" counts on my profile. That's not something I want to see.

The viewable list of user uploaded images is a great feature though and one I hope to see replicated.

Hi, missed you a lot since Reddit's demise.

Can we do this without having a google account?

Thanks

Dead chuffed to have Boost back, excellent work!

I feel right at home. Thank you!

Really good so far, but can we get back the old "Hide read posts" option back? It was really a handful when I was using Boost for Reddit.

Thanks (can't wait to launch the rocket ;))

The only thing I'd point out is that downvotes are disabled on my instance so it would be nice to hide the downvotes in the app but that's a minor nitpick. Also I don't think it prompted me to put in my 2FA code when I logged on.

It's very smooth. I've not found lemmy apps this smooth other than Sync. So, I can say, we have a worthy contender.

Replying with Boost for Lemmy and immediately paid for ad free! Happy to make occasional donations for my favorite app

Love it and ads removed. Enjoy your coffee!

I've never clicked a link so fast

Who'd be a Dev!...the feature requests already rolling in....🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Can't login with 2FA enabled.

Oh thank God, I can finally get rid of Sync. 🍻

first comment from boost for me! thanks for the great work <3

Bought.. I'd forgot what I was missing. It's like a warm hug.

Am I doing something wrong when Im not able to download the app in the store? Says "coming soon", I applied to be a tester. But can't download the app. On Android

Thanks a lot, downloaded and already unlocked the ad free version. Feels right at home after many years of using Boost for Reddit.

The only thing I've found so far is that GIF preview on the card view don't adapt to the full width of the card so they look tiny.

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.

Feels good to be home.

It is lovely to be back on boost! :) I did miss it an awful lot :) It's exactly as I remembered, once AMOLED dark mode and theming are there, I couldn't think of a feature I'd want :)

Adfree bought! :)

I opted out of the GDPR stuff (I'm in the UK) and am Ad-free, is that all that's needed to get the Amazon tracking stuff out the equation for me?

I'm finally home. Already got ad-free

Beyond delighted. Feels like coming home! Rocket launched 🙂

I got it and had a bit of a hard time getting in the beta. But I got in, and I'm loving it. So much that I sent up the no ads payment. Didn't really see any, and I hope I don't, but I just wanted to say I appreciate the dev and wanted to show support. Thanks again for being here, loved it for Reddit, really love it again that's it's in Lemmy!

Does the login support TOTP tokens? It says I didn't submit one but there wasn't an option to.

Comment made on boost for lemmy

Thank you for all your hard work Ruben! The only reason I started using the R site was because of Boost.

I want to support you! I had a question, if I buy the ad removal now, will it also go over to the full version when released?

Just installed this and loving it already.

Will buy first day it is made available for general use.

Awesome stuff, so much better than I expected for an initial release.

Is this app going to be open source? Because I had a bad experience with another Lemmy app recently stuffed full of trackers that I really don't want to repeat.

Edit: never mind, I just saw in another thread that it's not, so it's not for me.

Home

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

Time to go back home!

Lovely work, Jerboa is nice, but old habits die hard and boost is what I'm used to.

My only complaint is that BankID won't allow me to pay to remove ads, but that's not really the fault of the app.

Can anyone who is a moderator confirm that they don't have access to mod tools? As an admin, I can't see an option for checking out reports, or for a way to ban/purge users. Seems like I still need the Web browser for those things.

very good. the app support widget like the old one. this is first lemmy app with widget. Kudos to dev

Already using it, and it's beautiful 🥹

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.

This is amazing, thank you! I'll be buying ad free the moment I finish this post.

For anyone unable to login due to 2FA: a workaround for now is to login elsewhere, disable 2FA, login to Boost, then re-enable 2FA. Bit of a pain because you get a new token but as long as you don't log out of Boost it appears to stick.

Is there any launch date on beta release?

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.

commenting from the testing app right now! thanks for all your work. finally… the void on my home screen can once again be filled by boost :-)

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

Been waiting for this to arrive after using Boost for Reddit for ages! Looking good so far

Oh man, we're so close. I've missed Boost terribly.

Long time boost reddit user. Feels natural again. Already bought ad free on principle lol. After the whole Sync for Lemmy price gouge fiasco. Like jesus

Where does one give feedback?

Edit: right off the bat the blur for nsfw needs to be a bit more muddled. I like nsfw and stuff and tend to stick to /all so it shows up often. But the blur isn't really doing a food job when it's like just a out of focus naked woman compared to a general sense of shape the other apps ive used hit. There's no plausible deniability lol. And I just need to see red and the title to know not to click gore stuff

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!

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.

Thanks for the app but can you add support for 2FA please? @rmayayo@lemmy.world

How do I log in to an account with 2FA?

Thank you for making ad-free affordable ♥️

Nice, congratulations on the Beta!

My first comment from boost yoooo.

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

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

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

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

Done! How/where do you prefer feedback?

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

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

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?)

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

Edit: just bought it.

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

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

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

I'm home 🥲 thanks so much, already launched the rocket

Great news!

It works perfectly! ¡Gracias, Rubén!

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

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

Awesome. Congrats!

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

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

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!

Oh yes, like coming back home.

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

It's great to have boost back!

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

Hello!! Loving what I see so far!! Question: Is there any way you can create folders to organize communities into? Thanx

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."

It's good to be back!

Yay, it's here! My notes so far:

When I tap a comment in my replies, it takes me straight to replying to it. It'd be great if it took me to the comment in context under the post so I can upvote, downvote, reply etc rather than just reply.

I'm getting errors trying to upload images that I took with my phone camera, presumably because they're large. I'm able to upload them in Voyager, but it'd be awesome to be able to do it all from Boost.

A feature I really like from LiftOff is the ability to crop images before I upload them, could this be added?

Thank you :)

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 :)

I'm currently getting an error about missing my TOTP token. Have you implemented 2-factor authentication support?

I used to use Boost for Reddit and I will give this a try!

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

Personalized feed is not working. It keeps loading forever.

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

Opening links in Boost for Lemmy does not seem to work. Instead of opening them properly, any links are opened in the Boost in app browser.

However thanks for a fantastic app! I've been using Boost for Reddit for years, and you're much of the reason I am here on Lemmy now

Testing it now! So far so good!

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

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!

Woohoooo

So many layout options lol.

Looks really great so far!

I'm trying this. Is very smooth!

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!

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

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

Looks promising. So excited!

I'm here 😁

Can you reduce the contrast of these lines

There's this general problem:

My password was too long for Sync and Voyager and now also Boost; I've been using Jerboa since it worked in that client.

Since Boost also had the issue I changed my password to a shorter one.

The old one was something like

Friday-Ramble-Patriot-Apricot5-Tractor-Litigator-Shove-Antivirus

... and the new one is shorter and is causing no issues.

Posting from Boost, already using it so much more the 3 previous apps I had (Jerboa, Voyager and can't remember). Feels like home. Thanks so much.

Looks great!

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!

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?

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!

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

Hey all, I may be missing something obvious, but is it possible to add an account for an instance not in the pre-made list?

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

Should old boost users who have paid for boost for reddit, get the premium by default??

When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90⁰ counter-clockwise.

This has been a very good idea!

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! 🚀

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.

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.

Amazing work

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!

It looks like the "c" community links aren't working. Like this: .

The Trending Communities posts are full of these if you need more examples ().

Edit: weird, my comment links aren't working. They're showing as normal text for me, but when you go to copy, select text, you can see that they're hyperlinks.

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.

would.

can't login to my instanse. nor another.

am not making a new login.

android13

Yeah! Thanks for the great Work. Btw. Rndnsfw is Not working ;)

Just got it installed and set up! Looks great!

If I had one complaint it would be that mod tools are missing. :( Or if they are there, I can't find them. :)

Very nice. Within five minutes of using it I've removed other Lemmy apps from my phone.

It would be nice to have something that guides you through finding communities in other servers as I don't feel like I'm seeing them all.

Wooooooooo! Screw the ads though. You shouldn't be profiteering off a free project for NO reason. Scummy. I am adblocking them already.
