I wish it had swipe to up vote and downvote but other than that I love the aesthetics.

You can't change the primary background color outside of theme presets? That means I can't make it dark and pink, which is a deal breaker when I have such a gorgeous Sync theme going. I'll keep it downloaded, though. There were things I liked about it for reddit. I may come back around.

Using it right now. Feels smooth.

[–] Lyricism6055 7 points 1 year ago

Hell yes! Been waiting for this

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I love Boost, I bought it for Reddit. However, I got used to Connect now. The swipe to upvote and hide are intuitive to me now.

Has anyone figured out how to change the default feed? I'm not subscribed to any communities, so I always open to a blank page before switching to all.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Settings, general then subscriptions

Restore purchase feature needs to be added, couldn't "rebuy" it on a second device.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was waiting for this app to release before I even signed up to be honest!

I was a Boost for Reddir user, now I'm using wefwef. Works for me, not sure if I have a reason to go back to Boost.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm really happy with the interface to be honest, I was using Voyager up until now but Boost is my new go to!

[–] Stylus2650 4 points 1 year ago

This is so good. I've never felt at home with Sync or Jerboa. But Boost feels very right and I can enjoy reading subreddits/communities on my mobile again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No thanks, I used to use boost for reddit and I loved it.

But now on lemmy, there are FOSS apps that are just as good I'd rather donate to.

[–] metallicorb 4 points 1 year ago

First post from Boost for Lemmy! πŸ‘

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

the old app that still retains its old feature from Reddit that have been reborn and it is first Lemmy client that support widget. wow!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Like it so far, will save up rewards to get it ad-free

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Blessing from the lords

[–] hperrin 4 points 1 year ago

Best app. I want it on iPhone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And thus begins my journey into lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just got it! Really happy that the developer made it. For some reason boost on reddit still works though.

It was nice to switch over to my preferred view that I have been using for years now.

[–] Caboose12000 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got used to liftoff where I could have up vote and down vote arrows on the right, so it's disappointing that I can't seem to find that option here on boost. don't feel like reaching for those vote buttons, otherwise I haven't noticed any remarkable differences from liftoff

But cannot be used if you have 2fa set up on your lemmy account.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not sure what MFA provider you're using, but worked fine for my account with GAuth. Though, I'm currently trailing both Sync and Boost (the latter was my preferred reddit client)

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Theres nowhere to enter my code on the log in screen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me, once I prove the username/password and tap "Login", a third box appears asking for the MFA code
