Boost For Lemmy

Create an option where, if enabled, a post that has images linked in the text body aren't rendered and instead show up in a gallery like in reddit galleries in boost for reddit

I use Lemmy logged-in on my computer to post and interact, but I read it logged-out on my phone to get a feel for what people are talking about outside of my interests.
Unfortunately, the communities I've entered in the block list still show up in the feed.
What gives?

Hi all,

When I create a new post or comment there are buttons for different formatting options (bold, italic, hyperlink, ...) right above the on-screen keyboard. One of the buttons is a little circle with an exclamation mark that is called spoiler.

If I click on it, it adds three colons followed by 'spoiler spoiler' and then at the end again three colons. But after I publish the post or comment, I don't see any effect or special formatting of my text. It's just the text and that non-functional tags.

Is that a bug or is that how it's meant to work?

Not sure what happened, but suddenly my Home page is always empty when I filter on top week and top month. Every other filter works. Problem only goes away when I uninstall and reinstall

Link to the post I'm not sure what causes this, when downloading the image, there isn't these empty spaces.

I love using boost but it would be great if there was a more obvious way to know what account are you loged in as, especially when creating a post (I tend to forget it midway and second guess myself). Having different settings and colour schemes for each account would be awesome too.

If there is a way to do this and I missed it, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks for reading my request!

I'm dumb and sometimes tell my phone to do things I don't actually want it to do, like hide posts I actually want to check out. I can't find a way to look at those to bring them back.

Hey all,

I recently learned that Lemmy allows setting the language of a post before posting it (for example, if the language of a post is set to German, only people who choose to view German posts can see it).

When using Lemmy in a browser, you can simply use a drop-down menu to define the language of the post to be created, but even as I write this very post in Boost, there is no option or toggle for me to choose the language of this post in Boost. Did I miss something or has this not been implemented in Boost yet? Thanks in advance!

I know, upvotes/downvotes mean less compared to That Other Place. But it would be nice if I could set Boost to not show all the spammy spam spam in my communities that have a score below a configurable threshold.

I've been helping someone diagnose a technical issue through Lemmy PM's the last month or so, and have accumulated a lot of messages back and forth. (Around 130 I'd say.)

When I get a new message, the total number of messages that I've received shows as a notification for a while, until it eventually disappears. (I haven't fully tested it but I think it disappears on reboot once I've replied.) Receiving comment replies or a new pm brings the notification back.

The screenshot shows what I see when filtering for unread messages. Thus, there are no unread messages, let alone 130 of them.

The entire conversation has been had in the same message thread. Not sure if this is a Lemmy issue or boost issue.

Sometimes my screen rotates by itself depending on how I'm holding my phone and then the list of posts I'm scrolling through goes back all the way to the top.

There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I'm trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.

when scrolling through my feed, sometimes the text in the description preview scrolls a bit when I put my finger on it to scroll

The random sub button in boost for reddit was cool, could it be added to boost for lemmy?

Is there any way in boost to browse all communities on an instance other than your own?

If you tap that link in Boost it'll probably crash, so don't do it unless you're okay with that.

I'm guessing the problem is that the post URL is a magnet link.

Edit: oh yeah, to work around, you'll have to open it in a browser and hide it.

I've noticed that inline images will render to fill the available width of the comment they're on. This is much too large for some images, such as emotes that only have so many pixels to display and thus get blown out and fuzzy. I would much prefer inline images to render in their native resolution up until they reach the width of the comment. Is there already a way to change this behavior or is it not something that has been implemented?

Communities in left drawer are alphabetically sorted by default. Yet the sort is based on names and not on displayed names. Is there some option that I didn't found to change it? Or could it be fixed or added as an option?
I know I could sort manually but it's not ideal when adding new communities.

For instance [email protected] use "Anime episode discussions" as display name. When I search for my anime subscribed communities I often forget it as the sort looks like it's wrong with what boost display as community name. 😕

That's pretty much it. It crashes at the same spot every time.

If I scroll fast enough I can skip over the point of the crash but when I scroll back up and reach that spot... It crashes again

when I tap on a notification for a mention, it's no longer highlighted, so it's showing it as being read, but the little number up at the top doesn't go away unless I hit the "mark all read" button.

Latest version of Boost on Android 11. When opening up DMs (not replying) the notification for unread messages stays unchanged and the messages aren't marked as read.

Can other people reproduce this issue?

No idéa why. Opening this post makes boost crash
