Thanks for your patience!

Thank you for making ad-free affordable β™₯️

[–] CapeData@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Looks great. Suggest that the backup file have a unique name so it is not confused with the Boost for Reddit backup.

[–] timou@jlai.lu 5 points 1 year ago

Awesome! I've been waiting for it since reddit closed.

I'm missing the "mark as read when scrolling" though.

[–] 3migo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I've been using Sync while waiting for Boost and I've come to really like the feature that allows you to upvote posts by slightly swiping left on the post. Would love to see that adopted by boost!

[–] Orionza@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

Great news!

[–] DasherPack@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It works perfectly! Β‘Gracias, RubΓ©n!

Finally feeling right at home, the only thing I noticed is that images load faster than other clients, thanks for that!

[–] t0m5k1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yes, like coming back home.

[–] ShadowCat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm home πŸ₯² thanks so much, already launched the rocket

[–] toned_chupacabra@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So thankful for your hard work bringing Boost to Lemmy. Everything feels "back to normal" now.

Edit: just bought it.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Congrats!

[–] Syakaizin@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app

[–] red@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The welcome message is Welcome !username. I think it should be Welcome username!

[–] pebble3292@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you! So happy that this is happening!

Immediate feedback is that it does not allow login with 2FA (TOTP) yet => "missing totp token".

Edit: Ads removed! Great work!

Edit2: Found another comment and the info that this will be fixed with the next beta... also just set my custom theme to my old boost for reddit colors and it just so nice to have exactly the same user experience with the new lemmy app again. Thank you so much @rmayayo@lemmy.world

Install beta 1.0.1 and let me know if it is fixed.

I missed your app @rmayayo . My home screen just didn't look right without boost

[–] somedaysoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

10 minutes in, got my settings the way I like, and I'm really enjoying it.

Just autodownloaded and so glad to be back to a familiar interface

[–] knobbysideup@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Looks great so far! Already paid for it. Looking forward to the honing of everything.

[–] kayaven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Managed to export my old settings from the Reddit app, and importing it just works flawlessly! Thank you so much RubΓ©n! You definitely more than earned a launched rocket from me :)

[–] cease70@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I used ReVanced Manager to continue using Boost as my Reddit app of choice, so I'm obviously loving the look and feel of this app for Lemmy too. Looks and feels pretty much exactly the same. Great job by the developer!

[–] wesley@yall.theatl.social 4 points 1 year ago

Now this is what I've been waiting for! -- posted from Boost for Lemmy

[–] PhatInferno@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much for this app! Was my favorite for reddit and soo happy that lemmy gets one now!

Its so nice being back tho this ui!

[–] Alkaseltzer028@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tried installing the app as a tester, but I get a message telling me that google purchases are not available in my country.

This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

The UI looks freaking awesome πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž. Thanks for creating this!

It's great to have boost back!

[–] acidagfc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Switching view does not seem to work without relaunching the app.

Registered, downloaded and immediately purchased! Thank you!

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's been a long road. I'm looking forward to getting the boost experience again.

[–] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

I can't seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it's just been great to have Boost back!

[–] Dequei@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Personalized feed is not working. It keeps loading forever.

This feels so good. Like putting on those old jeans and finding out that despite it being a decade old, it still fits you.

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I grabbed the testing version because I'm very excited for Boost to return! Unfortunately I found an issue right away. It appears that the app doesn't support 2FA for instances that use it. I got an error stating "missing totp token."

[–] rmayayo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yep, a bug showing the field when required. Fixed for the next beta
