  • 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!

    • There was a problem with timezones missing when formatting the time. Fixed for the next beta, thanks for reporting!

      • Thank you so much!! For everything! For making this app for reddit, and then remaking it for here, and for taking the time to see my comment, and fixing the issue! I am so very appreciative of all the work you've put into it, I can't imagine how involved a project like this must be. You've done such a great job. It is so nice to be back on Boost again!

    • This comment might get swallowed up. Comment in a bug or make your own post to get more attention :)

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

    • Bro Boost for Lemmy is here. Join the beta. Become one with the borg. Assimilate.

      JK you do you. Kbin's cool too.

    • Same. Waiting for a kbin app.

      • Oh man, use the kbin.social web app. It's good. The only Boost functionality that I really really missed was the ability to hide read posts.

        It looks like kbin.social isn't supported as an instance on Boost for Lemmy? So I just signed up on startrek.website with my same kbin.social username so I could check it out, and so far it's great

      • I can't yet. I mod two functionally dead mags that I'm trying to keep going. It's just small populations, and from Reddit, it seemed either no one jumped over OR they just don't care enough to find the community here. One did well to have 1 post a day in Reddit that wasn't spam. The other was pretty active, but it's a niche game so.

        When it comes out, I'll probably wait until cross-mod comes out. Or I'll just keep an eye on it from Lemmy and mod from kbin as needed.

  • 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.

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

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

    • Widgets might have some bugs, let me know if you spot something!

      • thanks and it is very good like the old version. But unlike the previous Boost, the push notification does not worked.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    • I believe viewing voted posts is not available in Lemmy API

      • That's disappointing. The only reason I thought that might not be the case is because when I installed Boost and linked my accounts for the first time I was able to scroll through my home feed and see my upvoted posts made in a different app. Maybe the Boost app can keep track of upvotes and downvotes made within the app somehow as a special feature?
