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!

Now that’s a seamless switch between platforms!
Ad-free already purchased!
How do I hide, or limit the height of images people embed into their comments such as this one, in Boost?
This image is huge for example, and ideally I just want a small version I can tap to expand, and not have to scroll past this whole thing (plus it seems like it’s cropped on the sides, only showing half a phone screen on either side - or maybe that’s the full image I don’t know?).
Thanks!!
Too bad they can’t update the Reddit one to add an icon for the rocket on a Reddit tombstone 🤭
Why keep the old one installed at all? Surely it doesn’t work since they disabled the API, as absolutely fantastic as it was, now it’s just a dead app taking up disk space.
Quick question. I thought Reddit’s API price debacle (the entire reason I’m here instead) forced Boost for Reddit to shut down, or at the very least charge a high price. I’m surprised to see it still working. What exactly is going on?
Babe wake up, Boost for Lemmy just dropped
How would you like us to report bugs? Create a post in the community?
Can you explain the data collection usage on Google play store?
Yeah this honestly makes me hesitant to download idk why there are so many data sharing permissions. Maybe they’re default?
I just installed the app and so far it’s working pretty well, though if I’m being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.
In terms of features I’d 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, it’s 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.
