  • Moderation tools should already set this app apart from the others, and the other features are a nice bonus.

    Trying it out now, thank you!

    Have the moderation tools been tested for admin level moderation, or should I tread carefully on that side of things?

      Not sure if they work for admins, it hasn't been tested or implemented

      • Good to know thank you! I'd imagine admin level functions are a whole other challenge for devs making fediverse apps.

        I tried out this version and this is what I'm seeing for admin stuff:

        • On the desktop UI, Lemmy combines community mod reports and admin level reports into one feed. On Boost, I can see all the reports the same way, and so it's consistent with the desktop interface. I'll need to wait for more reports to come in to properly test it.
        • On desktop, admins can take mod actions on all posts. On Boost, I only see the button in posts from communities I moderate. I prefer this over how it works on desktop, since I think admins should limit their interventions to the communities they moderate (unless there is a serious problem).

        So as it is, Boost might already have the right level of support for admins. I can see reports, but I can't accidentally cause larger issues. Important admin actions are more rare, and they should probably be done through the official desktop UI

  • Thanks for all the work! Boost is what finally got me into the fediverse and Lemmy.

  • All the best to lemmy for futureπŸ”₯

  • Huh. It doesn't show a new update available for me. Wondering if the Canadian Google play store is just a couple hours behind.

    Edit: Wait nevermind saw the beta thing

  • This is great, I've been increasingly using Boost over other apps, but the lack of moderation features was a problem.

    The mod features look good so far, will we get notifications of reports?

  • Is there any way to filter out read posts on the main feed but NOT on your own profile? Every time I want to see if a conversation on one of my posts has continued I have to manually go into settings, enable read posts, and then I can continue. I'd love it if the profile page ignored that setting or had its own unique setting for your own posts.

    • I believe that's how Lemmy works, if read posts are filtered, they are filtered everywhere. I agree they should be visible in profiles, at least on your own profile.

      • Ah damn. That sucks. Might need to be a request to the Lemmy devs then instead. Thank you for the reply and all the work you've put into the app.

      • Any chance we could get an easier to access toggle for hiding/showing posts, maybe in the meatball menu next to the clear read button? Had to go hunting for it again to even see this post.

  • Looks like the mod tools are broken. :(

    When I ban someone for 1 day, the modlog shows it for 3 years.

    It seems to be consistent, a 3 day ban comes out as 9 years.

    • Thanks for reporting, wrong expiration date calculation... I'll fix that πŸ₯Ή
