Like many of you, I was anxiously waiting for availability, but it's finally here. For me, the app is running smooth like the reddit version did. If you have the means, consider the ad remove, and launch a rocket. Thank You Rubรฉn!

It's not here for everyone. This is what I see in the Play Store.
Early Access: Become a tester for Boost for Lemmy and share your feedback ๐
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!
Does Boost not support display names yet? I didn't realize that they aren't universal.
Edit: also, is there a way to show upvotes and downvotes? That's pretty important to a lot of us. I searched the settings and found a checked legacy setting called "shorten score" which I unchecked, but it didn't seem to do anything.
I'm not totally sure what display names are. I did see an option in settings, but I also saw someone mention the option didn't change anything for them. The up and down votes is a good question. I do like that about Lemmy, I would expect it to be included at some point, but I couldn't guess when. The review in the options goes to the developer only, so it's a good place to mention what is important to you. I've mostly been basking in the golden rays of app familiarity. The beta is far ahead of the established Lemmy apps in my opinion, just as it was for Reddit.
Oh, my bad! I thought you were the developer. Thanks for the heads-up about the review section. I'll find that and submit a couple of questions/requests to them.
Thanks!
You have to register for the beta program. There's a link in another post from Ruben.
