Boost For Lemmy

The gif format is currently lacking pinch zoom support.

This makes it impossible to see details like text in larger images.

Some examples:

I browse lemmy primarily through the local feed and mute communities I'm not particularly interested in. When a different community posts a link to a muted community, the post opens without showing any comments.

Example: I have muted the no stupid questions community. Someone posts a link to a post in that community to best of. That post opens fine and shows the correct number of comments, but no comments are visible.

First of all, boost is really good. Thanks for this. One feature suggestion is to open all lemmy links in boost itself. Any lemmy link I click on, opens in an external browser!

Whenever I click on a link in the Post view, Boost takes up to 5 seconds to load up the page up in Firefox. Post view is set to "compact," but I tried others like "Cards 2.0" and "Cards".

I have "Open externally" set in the General -> Default browser settings. I set it to "internal browser," but that made no difference.

Firefox is set as my default browser. I then set the default browser to Vivaldi but that made no difference.

I used other Lemmy clients, and there were no delays.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm using version 1.0.12 on Android.

I don't suppose boost could add a "migrate to another instance" feature? 😅 Given that Lemmy is decentralized, and account migration is a thing and up to users, having support in the app would be really cool. Or maybe it's already there and I just don't know about it?

Cheers!

Works fine through the web interface and some other apps.

When viewing a single child comment thread (ie viewing a response to your comment that is already a few comments deep in a thread), you are given two options at the top of the comment section, one to "view full context" of the thread you're in (expected behavior: give context up to the parent comment and show only comments in that thread) and one to "view full comment section".

As of now, at least for me, both options simply give me one additional parent comment above what I can already see (in my previous example, it would show the comment I originally replied to). To get to the full comment section, I have to press the option and reload the comment section over and over until I get to the parent comment, at which point "view full comment section" actually does what it says.

I enjoy being in The Simpsons community, but there is this seemingly unending trend of posting a random frame with the title "Guess the episode". it's not a meme, it's not interesting, and even if it were, it stopped being interesting like 6 months ago.

anyway, is there any way for me to hide all posts that have "guess the episode" in the title?

Sometimes I come across links to communities or posts on instances that are not in the list of links the app recognizes as lemmy. Instead they open a browser tab. Given lemmys growing and decentralized nature it's unreasonable to expect devs to keep up with that. Please enable users to add to that ever growing list, at least for their own account. I understand that such a feature is may be far in the backlog or may never come at all, in the meantime I would be happy if you added the feddit.org domain to the list as feddit.de seems to be migrating there.

Workaround: Apparently it works with the ! community @ instance links like !ich_iel@feddit.org but not normal links feddit.org/c/ich_iel

i understand Boost for Reddit had all sorts of useful moderators tools. is that the same thing with Boost for Lemmy?

As stated in the title mark as read on scroll is not working and has never worked for me. Even on boost for reddit it never really worked. Anyone have any advice?

One of my favorite subreddits has no representation over here, so I figured I'd get one started. is there a way to do it through Boost, or do I need to go to somebody's website?

I have "Show read posts" disabled in the settings, but it just stopped working all of a sudden. Since yesterday I'm seeing read posts again.

I tried toggling the setting, clearing cache and switching instances, but no luck so far.

Anybody else who has this problem? Any idea how to fix it?

Edit: Looks like it's a problem with the new Lemmy version!

Hey @rmayayo@lemmy.world , I suspect you're already planning to work on the new stuff added in Lemmy 0.19.04 soon.

Should we expect support for the new features in the near future or will it rather take a while? Just asking so we know what to expect :)

I opened the app without thinking right now, and to my surprise it's working.

I mod an empty subreddit, which made it work before. It didn't load yesterday, and tonight it does without any changes on my side.

I was almost happy to get rid of reddit, but it's seems it is not for today.

The Boost for Reddit app still worked for a while after the big shutdown with workarounds, like creating a mod account or using revanced.

Not anymore, as of today, the Boost for Reddit app is completely 100% dead now.

Goodbye reddit forever, hello lemmy

I guess googleads sucks even more than I thought

Love the app! Bought the adfree for reddit, plan on buying this one too once I move out of my car.

I know that karma is a contentious issue on Lemmy, but I like having the feature where it is displayed on user profiles. For trolls especially, it helps to know if they should be ignored or not, like if they have -3000 karma for example. I have always noticed karma appearing in boost when viewing a user's profile, but today after logging out and back in, I noticed I no longer have that feature. Karma is no longer shown on profiles for me.

It doesn't seem like anyone else is having the issue and the recent changelog entries don't mention it. Did I inadvertently change a setting and now I just can't find that setting to change it back?

Disable Show read posts in your account preferences and you won't see those posts again.

Join the beta from the Play Store listing and give feedback if you test it. Thanks! 🙏

One of the comments in the following link continually crashes Boost for me.

Unfortunately someone responded to one of my comments and now looking at my message inbox crashes Boost too. I'm guessing it is this comment due to it being a very long image:
