Hi! Boost is back with a new version. This is the changelog:

  • Open lemmy links from most popular instances in the app. If your instance is not supported let me know and it will be added.
  • Long press links to show more options
  • Show number of posts in community descriptions in search results
  • View all images in a thread as a gallery
  • Improvements to video/gif playing from some sources ๐Ÿ†
  • Improvements to notifications: Fixed Mark as read from notification. Tapping a notification will open the correct inbox tab.
  • Show top communities in search screen. Tap Explore to browse Subscribed, Local and All communities
  • More blur to not safe for work thumbnails
  • Shorten scores above 1000
  • Support for imgur.io urls

I can now open the links from [email protected] now :)

We appreciate the updates and you. The app is stable for me and while I look forward to more updates, take your time with your other life stuff, thank you!

Can we get Mark as read on scroll? This was a huge benefit in the reddit app

[โ€“] Eric_Pollock 3 points 11 months ago

I second this. I see a lot of repeat content just because I didn't vote or open it

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes loved this feature and I'll purchase the app if I can get a few more improvements even though I barely know what I'm doing here. ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Take your time for updates! Grateful to have boost as an option as is!

Being able to open embedded images in comments made me happy,

Thank you!

Sorry to ask this but any estimate for when Boost will support Lemmy 0.19's Auth changes since some instances have already updated and the App can't be used there due to the changes.

[โ€“] rmayayo 22 points 11 months ago

I've already started working on it. It will not take too long.

Any chance of getting the link domain shown on a post in the post list?

[โ€“] KHTangent 8 points 11 months ago

This list contains pretty much everything I wanted in this app. Thank you for your work

I'm liking the update, new controls for images in comments are great, but can we get an option to collapse/hide all inline images in comments by default too? We've got granular control over the post images, and can hide them entirely if we choose, it'd be nice to have that option for images in comments as well.

You're doing great by the way don't stress yourself out

Thank you for the updates! The most important thing for me as a user is that the app is stable and works for nearly all things I'm doing with it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Question, Is there moderation features in this Boost for Lemmy like I remember in the reddit version?

I don't see any way to moderate from this app.

[โ€“] rmayayo 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, moderation tools will be added in the future ๐Ÿ‘

Love the update, works perfectly besides one small thing.

In my device, the local and global explore tab show only local communities (tried it on multiple instances)

[โ€“] Winged_Hussar 2 points 11 months ago

๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š Thank you for the updates!

[โ€“] Rose 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The link button uses the image link template. Could you remove the ! from it?

[โ€“] rmayayo 7 points 11 months ago

Fixed for the Next beta

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Oh hell yes! The community explorer is a huge upgrade IMO

I really missed the long press on links too so this update is wonderful

Thank you!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Can sidebar>profile be set to comment automatically please? Or let us select the default tab start up.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm happy for the improvements but the bug of the feed grayed after opening a pic still remains, it makes boost unusable because after opening/closing 4-5 images everything becomes too dark to read

[โ€“] rmayayo 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Device and Android version?
