      One feature that’d be nice to have is the ability to add other instances as guest accounts.

      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?

            API keys is what identifies the client/application. So basically, Reddit sees it as me using a personal custom app or script, and it’s therefore not blocked.

            They didn’t shut down the API, they just made it prohibitively expensive to use. For most people, that falls into the free tier.

      My thought exactly! It was ok while it lasted, but finally, I’m where I want to be! Thank the Lord.

    Thanks for your hard work on this! Paid for premium immediately :)

    I’d love to see integration for custom emojis, for example accessing Lemmy on the web I am able to type : and then an emoji name and it will autofill emojis from my instance.

      Same here, I don’t think I ever bought a premium app faster. Bought it before even changing any settings. Boosted the rocket once and still only paid a fraction of what Sync is asking. And it’s the far better app already, no-brainer.

    Thank you for developing this app! Being able to use Boost again has felt like being right at home. Your UI/UX design is just amazing, and I’ve sorely missed it since Reddit’s whole thing happened.

    I’ve never used Boost before and it’s auto downloaded today. I’m so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

    Heyyyy! I dunno when the app installed, but I just noticed it in my app drawer. So glad I registered for the download.

    Thanks for putting in the effort to move over to Lemmy. I greatly appreciate it and immediately slammed the no ads purchase. When I can ill toss a few bucks to fuel up that rocket ship.

    Love you dude <3

    Live long and prosper

    When someone replies to your comments, you get a notification. But clicking the notification takes you to the ‘mentions’ tab, instead of the ‘replies’ tab

    I can’t seem to expand images or download them in comments. Other than that, it’s just been great to have Boost back!

    When I tap on a linked community, it opens in webview/browser rather than within the app

    This is awesome! Here is my feedback so far:

    I was able to log in under a test account, but not this one yet due to the lack of an Authenticator TOTP field at login. I look forward to that feature and testing more extensively.

    Autofill overwrote the instance field with my user id when selecting a password sometimes.

    The UI looks freaking awesome 👍😎. Thanks for creating this!
