Love your app wish for more updates ♡♡
B-but I thought Boost was abandoned because you didn’t update it for awhile…
On a serious note thanks for your work rmayayo I’m only on lemmy cause of you. I’m not sure how you resist making fun of those “Boost is abandoned” people, really grinds my gears as somebody who’s released stuff of my own and had people making similar claims for absolutely no reason (literally have a public git they can look at) but oh well. I’ve been extremely pleased with Boost both back on reddit and now here on lemmy your work is appreciated man
Same. When Reddit cracked down on third-party clients, I quickly realized that I liked Boost more than Reddit, and I’m super happy about how it’s coming along.

I don’t notice any of that personally (probably missed it). Did the dev reply to any of those claims? Over six months of no updates is kinda worrisome
Occasionally yes but 6 months is frankly just not worrying at all. Loads of projects rarely get updates, for example video games Operating systems, for example take Android, is Android abandoned because each update takes about a year? Obviously no, the frequency of updates doesn’t correlate to if the project is abandoned. People hassling rmayayo (albeit via a post) is not at all helpful to actually making any progress. Speaking from experience that kind of bs makes me want to stop working on my project. Obviously my work isn’t appreciated if all they care about is release speed. Look to literally any large project, especially in the OSS world and you’ll typically see pretty lengthy gaps between releases and very few patches. That means they release less frequently for higher quality, something that isn’t possible if the only thing you care about is how often you get updates
Not a bug but a feature request. Can you add the content filters like the reddit boost had? So you can filter between images, videos, gifs, and script posts.
This is something I’m really missing too. It would be so lovely to be able to filter everything away, except text and link posts, for when I’m in bed at night. It was one of my most used features with Boost for Reddit, so hopefully it can be implemented in Boost for Lemmy some day too :D
Anyway, thanks for everything you do, rmayayo! Can’t imagine using any other app for Lemmy.
Yes this is really needed please.

Great job!
This is such a great app
~Nice super/subscript,~ Thanks
Thanks for the update!
I found a post though that still has very bad performance https://sh.itjust.works/post/35534975 - it’s safe for work, it’s about a game/mod. Scrolling through the post is very choppy, the app (or my phone) is really struggling. I’m using an Xperia 1 VI.
I see what’s going on. Boost only resizes images hosted on Lemmy and that post uses external images 😩
I thought surely this guy was making it up, but yeah that’s odd. I’m on a Samsung Note 10.

Spoiler Test
ZOMG! It works!
Question
This is cool but does lemmy also have inline spoilers like Reddit did?
I think maybe if
spoiler
you start typing first
then continue after the spoiler?
Huh, I guess not…

Can we nest them?

edit: aww no
yaaaay! i go between boost and eternity but this new update is wonderful boosts rocket again
all i want now is for the down vote buttons to go away since they’re not used on my instance
and maybe support for instance emojis when composing like when you type : and then it autofills suggested instance emojis :)
The vote buttons is on the to-do list I didn’t know about the emojis thing 🧐
no worries!! :) thank you!
the pr for emojis was here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/877
don’t know if it being in lemmy-ui makes it difficult to be in boost though so if its too much don’t worry about it :)
thank you!! i don’t think i can ever adjust to using a different lemmy app (i had to look for an IOS one for my partner and none of them were as good as boost) so im glad you’re still developing and being awesome :>
Ty! I’ll boost the Rocket (again) 😁
BTW: any chance you can smooth out the Rocket? It shakes pretty bad the whole time.
Thanks for your work!
Thank you. You’ll be rewarded well as more people try out lemmy
Any plans to add swipe gesture actions to posts/comments?
