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!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It's great to have boost back!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Awesome. Congrats!

Great news!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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 RubΓ©n! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

[–] [email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

I'm home πŸ₯² thanks so much, already launched the rocket

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Edit: just bought it.

[–] [email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Oh yes, like coming back home.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

It works perfectly! Β‘Gracias, RubΓ©n!

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

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 πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž. Thanks for creating this!

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