Boost For Lemmy

Is there a way to enable logs outputs? I'm getting pretty regular timeout errors on my primary instance of choice. I'd really like to know more details about what's going on.

Basically the title. I click a link and it takes forever to open. Doesn't matter the type of link. If I click a link multiple times then eventually N pages open all at once

For example

https://lemmy.ca/comment/13566145

Since the fediverse doesn't have a distinct username length limit, it might help to put a max length and then ellipsis it

LongUsername@LongInstanceNam... 135 ⋅ 2w ⋅ (2w)

I can easily find posts that I have saved by going to my profile but I can't seem to find saved comments anywhere

I have an image that absolutely must be seen by you folk but I can't upload it! I made this account on the lemm.ee instance if that matters but whenever I try to upload an image I get error 400/414. Anyone else?

I've mainly seen this with ^superscript^ notation not being recognized, but I assume there are other differences between Lemmy markdown and what Boost uses.

I would llike to request the implementation of swipe gestures in boost for Lemmy to allow users to quickly and intuitively interact with posts and comments.

This feature would significantly improve the user experience by providing a more efficient and modern way to engage with content.

Specifically, I propose adding the following swipe gestures:

1. Swipe to upvote/downvote posts and comments
2. Swipe to share posts and comments
3. Swipe to save posts and comments

Benefits

• Improved user experience and engagement
• Faster and more intuitive interactions with content
• Alignment with modern mobile app design patterns
• Competitive feature parity with other popular Lemmy apps

Implementation Suggestions

• Add horizontal swipe gestures for posts in the feed
• Implement horizontal swipe gestures for comments
• Include customizable gesture settings to allow users to personalize their experience
• Ensure smooth animations for visual feedback during swipe actions

Examples from Other Apps

• Sync for Lemmy: Allows swiping on posts to vote, share, and save
• Voyager for Lemmy: Implements swipe gestures for various post and comment actions

Potential Challenges

• Ensuring gesture recognition doesn't interfere with scrolling
• Maintaining accessibility for users who may have difficulty with swipe gestures

Conclusion

Adding swipe gesture functionality to boost would greatly enhance the app's usability and bring it in line with other popular Lemmy clients.

This feature would make content interaction more efficient and enjoyable for users, potentially increasing engagement and user satisfaction.

scrolling through All and getting to the bottom restarts the App instead of loading more posts

Is this a known issue? Is it only certain phones? I want to save images and memes to my galaxy 8 but i can't. As far as i can tell The app has permissions you access my image folder. When boost returned from the reddit api debacle i could download images just fine. But a couple months ago i stopped being able to.

I can load the HD version of the image just fine.

This way you can blur previews unless you specifically seek out NSFW content.

As a community owner, I need to edit the rules from time to time, and it's annoying to have to go to the web interface to do so.

It happens if I try to upload an unedited photo from my camera roll. If I crop it, even by a tiny amount, it lets me upload. It's a really frustrating issue because I have to edit every photo before uploading.

It happens frequently, which is annoying, I paid to remove the advertising, because I believed in the quality, but this bug makes it unfeasible to use it.

On some screens, long tapping a comment hides it, while short tap brings up options. On other screens this is reversed.

See title. In app playback for loops content (ala the in app YouTube player) would be fantastic.

I sometimes find it hard to tell at a glance if a post I'm looking at is one I have clicked on since they are just a slightly lighter grey than posts I haven't clicked on. Being able to set it to whatever color I would like would be very helpful.

When coming from an NSFW post, both the post links and any links in comments should open in an incognito tab by default, instead of a regular tab. This is the main reason I currently use the (pretty broken) internal browser ATM.

I believe there is an intent to handle this, see https://conn.dev/chrome-incognito.html (which also seems to work for other browsers).

Hi! Testing the app out. Is there a way to preload images? I've noticed that when scrolling, images frequently load halfway when they're halfway through the page, moving everything below them. I find this extremely annoying. Is there a way to preload images before I've scrolled them onto the screen?

Votes attract votes. Users feel more inclined to follow the positive or negative trend when voting. If given the option to hide vote scores it would give users the ability to vote without being influenced by how everyone else has voted, and maybe have an effect on what posts rise to the top.

If you want to get fancy it could have the option to show scores of things that a user has already voted on.

It's a fediverse short video sharing platform, and direct support would be nice to have :)

I'm hoping it will also be easy enough to implement?

Hello. I am on the latest version of the paid app for android.

For the past few days I can not scroll past the posts that the app loads after launching. (lemm.ee, All, Hot) When I reach the end of the initially loaded posts the app shows a loading animation at the top of the screen and then eventually times out. I have force stopped the app and have cleared the app cache, to no avail.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to resolve it?

Thank you!

They appear as videos with progress bars you can't interact with.

Create an option where, if enabled, a post that has images linked in the text body aren't rendered and instead show up in a gallery like in reddit galleries in boost for reddit
