Using it now and it is glorious! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this!

Heck yes! It works a charm and Lemmy is even nicer to use ๐Ÿ˜Š it was the only feature I could think of that I hoped to see come back, as it's so useful.

Thank you for your work on all this, it's a great app. :)

Finally! So happy to start using boost again now!

I was looking for the announcement post, so it is a beta feature?

Or all the app development still in beta and no announcement yet ๐Ÿ˜…

Regardless, yeah, this was a so much needed feature.

Exactly, I'll make the announcement when the version moves to production

Excellent, great work Rubรฉn :)

As I scroll, the posts I scroll past are dimmed, based on the dimming setting.

But they are still there.

Even after a refresh.

My account setting has Show Read Posts disabled, and that's been working for some time in other Lemmy apps.

Did you login again after your instance migrated to Lemmy 0.19?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That fixed the problem, yes. I discovered it when I tried to toggle and save that setting and was told there was trouble saving to my account.

okay I just installed it and searched every setting, "Mark posts as read on scroll" is not available ๐Ÿค”

These are all the options available to me:

You have to join the beta from the Play Store listing and a new update will show up.

Thank you for the link. when I searched for it as "boost for lemmy beta" on Play store, the beta version didn't come up, but your link does work so thanks.

Here's my additional feature request:

Allow me to scroll until all posts are read.

I assume that this would be accomplished by letting me scroll past the last post.

If you felt uncomfortable about the empty screen (I don't), you could add some simple background effect or even a dummy "you've reached the end of the internet" post or two.

Context: I don't want to be scrolling Lemmy all day. I want to be able to view the top posts of the day, scroll through them, get to the end, and know it's time to stop. If I open Boost again later, I don't want to see anything that I've seen before.

In what situation would the second box be anything but a negative, if may ask?

Do some people really use cards instead of compact list?

[โ€“] LemmyKnowsBest 2 points 9 months ago

That's a feature and option I've been craving actually. If I don't click on something, that means I don't want to read it and I scroll past it. If it disappeared without any effort on my part, that would enhance my user experience.
