Hi Boost gang,
The first version of Boost for Lemmy is almost ready. If you want to test the app for bugs and give feedback before the app is published, follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy to enable an early access option on the Boost for Lemmy Play Store listing.
Thanks for your patience!
Is this app going to be open source? Because I had a bad experience with another Lemmy app recently stuffed full of trackers that I really donβt want to repeat.
Edit: never mind, I just saw in another thread that itβs not, so itβs not for me.
Got it. Iβve been eyeing Summit but never pulled the trigger on trying it. Iβll just leave it on the nope list for now.
Should old boost users who have paid for boost for reddit, get the premium by default??
I just installed the app and so far itβs working pretty well, though if Iβm being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.
In terms of features Iβd be interested in seeing there are three that come to mind:
- Community icons in compact/ dense views. While Lemmy is still in its infancy, I have to browse c/All most of the time and being able to visually see the community the post is coming for is definitely helpful for browsing.
- Multiple accounts in one feed. In my opinion, this is one thing that Lift-off has over every different Lemmy app. With so many instances with varying levels of federation, I find being able to browse all my accounts at once to be a very convenient feature.
- Being able to download to an SD card. I know SD cards are a dying breed, so this is probably low priority for you, but as someone with very low internal storage; but a very large SD card, itβs always a welcome feature when I can find it.
Overall I would say this app already shows a significant amount of polish. Hopefully the development can continue even further.
When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90β° counter-clockwise.
This has been a very good idea!
