Hi Boost gang! I’ve just uploaded a new version. This is the changelog:

  • Improved Create Post screen, with image upload and automatic title suggestion from url
  • Edit posts including text, title, image or link
  • Block instances (For instances running Lemmy 0.19). In posts, long press community name or 3-dots -> Block -> Block instance
  • Scaled and Controversial sort (For instances running Lemmy 0.19)
  • Support for Lemmy links (!community@instance and @user@instance)
  • Autocomplete communities after typing ! when composing text
  • Better performance for images embedded in comments
  • Removed karma count from profiles (Lemmy 0.19 does not have karma)
  • Fix reporting comments from inbox
  • Bug fixes and small improvements

I would appreciate it if you could test the new features and leave your feedback in the comments.

Thanks for your support!

Rubén

    Is the ‘read on scroll’ featute in there? I am waiting patiently to finally be able to use Boost…

        Would it be possible to also add the “Hide previous posts” button in post options as well?

          Lemmy does not have a hide feature, it should be mark previous posts as read instead, and then set you account to not show read posts.

            Now you mention it, this is sorely needed. I guess there’s no way to implement it just in the client?

            It’s just, sometimes I come across a really triggering post and I need to hide it from my feed to ensure I don’t come across it again by accident later, and yeah, that’s just not a thing currently.

            I hope Lemmy adds it, it’s important.

            (I don’t want to hide posts ive read, I like to go back to things to see new comments and updates and stuff)

    Looks good!

    I appreciate having scaled sort on mobile now, and better post editing will make things a lot easier. I’ve been using the mobile browser when I needed to edit details

    Hell yeah. Thanks for the great work.

    Any ETA on mod/admin functions? I’m having to go in through my mobile browser to take care of reports, etc.

    While you’re working on the images in comments, can we get a toggle to collapse or disable them entirely? For those of us that want a text-only experience.

    Also, scores are still showing even when the toggle is off.

    Tried scaled sorting and I’m getting “400 An Unknown Error Has Occurred”

    Other sorting options seem to be working.

      Lemmy world is not on version 0.19 yet

        Good to know. Given lemmyworld is a major instance, I’d maybe add a note to this post to anyone coming from that instance so you’re not going to get hit with a bunch of same comments from people who don’t keep track of what their instance is on

      It’s because it’s a very long image. Press the HD button in the top right corner, that should fix it.

      This is by default. You need to enable ‘Load HD Images’ In settings, however things will sometimes take longer to load due to the extra data.

        Hmm I have “Mobile Data Saver” on, which is supposed to load smaller images, but I assumed that would only save data on mobile, and not impact WiFi usage. Hmmm…

        I’ll look for the Load HD images option you mentioned too.

    I’ll update now, thanks!

    My feedback in general is just…everything works. I’ve not been searching for new communities and stuff for a while though, and I don’t use PMs and things, so I’m probably missing out on a lot. But what I’ve used has been great :-)

      Odd it seems fixed again

      If it helps replicate the issue, here’s how I got to it:

      • got a notification with the reply, tapped on it
      • viewed the reply, tapped to open all comments

      It is a beta version. There is an option on the Play Store listing to join the beta.

    Finally the bug of the darker screen when going back from opened images is fixed and I can go back to using Boost

    Quick note, I saw the new “Scaled” sort option, not sure what it does yet but anyway on my home screen it gives the error “400 an unknown error has occurred”, maybe lemmy.world isn’t running 0.19 yet I dunno, if that’s the case maybe a more descriptive error would be good, just to explain it’s not necessarily some unknown issue?

    Also a more visible one, I almost didn’t spot the little text popup near the bottom with the error in it at all haha, only after I tried it a few times.

    Anyway, all my love!
