I'm on version 1.0.22 and tablet mode doesn't seem to do anything any more. If I check or uncheck the box for tablet mode in Setting it looks the same (not split screen like before).

Hi Lemmy! new beta version, this is the changelog:

General

• Added Edge-to-Edge support in Android 15: Feed scrolls behind status and navigation bars. Enable Settings - General - Bottom Navigation - Hide on scroll for the full experience.
• New built-in YouTube player. To disable it, uncheck Settings - General - Internal Youtube Player

PieFed

• Moderators can now see the votes on posts and comments within the communities they moderate
• Fixed all comments being marked as locked
• Block domains in PieFed v1.3 (Listing blocked domains is not available in the API yet)

📲 To join the beta and test the new features follow this link https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rubenmayayo.lemmy or visit the Play Store and scroll down to "Join the Beta"

⚠️ Found a bug about this version? Comment below

Pretty much every time I see banner ads at the bottom of boost it's sexually suggestive and implied ads from Temu meant to grab your attention.

These are often borderline or actually NSFW. Which is becoming a problem.

Still love the app! I just got a foldable, and I have a few requests/suggestions:

• Let me adjust the size of the left and right sides
• The global sort/search and post sort/search are right next to each other. If the global sort/search could be moved to the left side it would be less confusing

Also non-tablet related: I have muted an instance, but there is 1 community on that instance that I'd still like to follow. Is that possible without setting up multiple accounts?

I have no idea if this is technically feasible within Lemmy's current framework, but I was wondering - has Boost ever considered adding viewer counts (or "view metrics") to posts and comments on user profile pages?

For example, perhaps something like:

👁️ _____ Views

Similar to how Reddit shows post view metrics.

It'd be a great way to get a better sense of engagement beyond just upvotes and comments, and could help users understand which of their posts are being seen, even if they don't receive that many interactions.

Would love to know if this has been discussed before or if it might be possible to implement in the future.

Finding quite a few other domains that spin forever and don't load. Opening in web browser works fine.

Example: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/ff344715-c8ff-479f-bd8d-0b71bab4f8c7.webp

There seem to be a couple (relatively minor) bugs with viewing saved posts.

• Sorting mostly doesn't work - the default seems to be to display the posts by date saved rather than date posted and "top" seems to only work for day and week. When selecting any of the other sorting options, the page refreshes and the default is used.
• The "Show hidden" toggle doesn't show posts that are saved (which requires going back to the post and unhiding it for it to show up in the view)

edit: using Boost v1.0.20(24)

I like being able to navigate Boost one-handed, and it's convenient for me to swipe to close images. Sometimes, though, that swipe gesture is not fully recognized and the swipe-to-close function stops working for that image and I have to close it either with the back button or back arrow.

I've linked a recording of the issue where the function works, and then I swipe either incompletely or maybe my finger leaves the screen mid-swipe, and all other swipes - while they are registered by the UI, do not close the image.

Some sessions, it never happens. Sometimes it happens on my first swipe. Not that big of an issue, but it would be nice if it could recover gracefully from a bad input so I don't have to exert more effort than my lazy self has to. :)

Pretty much as the title says, attempting to enter the comment section of any post closes the app after it tries to load, accompanied by the message below.

I can't pinpoint when It happened, I just know that my feed is no longer getting marked as read when I scroll past a post

Lemmy keeps a global list of posts you've read on any device and the account preference can be used to "permanently" hide them. It's really useful for faking the way Reddit reworked your homepage at one point, where it keeps feeding you new content every refresh without having to keep clicking "clear read" all the time. But if you then want to see those posts - because you clicked back on accident, want to see a pinnet post etc - you have to go to ´´Settings -> Account Preferences´´ to toggle it on/off there, save, come back, and manually refresh the page you were on.

It would be really handy if there was a "Show read" toggle in the kebab menu right above the current "Show hidden" that would toggle it.

Image is from a post in this community using this account. All comments on all posts when using my piefed.social account have a locked symbol next to them and give this "Locked by moderators" message if I try to reply. Replying to the post itself is fine and works without issue though. If I look at the same post from an account on another instance, I can see that the comments are not locked and can reply to them. Not sure if this is an issue with my account specifically or with Boost/piefed interaction, but it only started happening yesterday.

Is it possible to show the image preview and then try to load the original imagem showing the loading bar at the bottom of the screen?

It's very frustrating seeing the image right there but been unable to open it and zoom in.

See: https://lemmy.ml/post/36048067

Attempting to view that community (and I suspect that specific post) in boost causes the app to crash.

I guessing due to the magnet link?

This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh

this bug is happening again to me. the first ad pretends to be muted, while every other one doesn't even bother and it's a constant jumpscare

See image.

The current icon is exactly the same with boost for reddit. I think it would be nice if boost for lemmy had a (slightly) different icon, like a mirrored version or some changed colors (ex. Green rocket). It would help cause many of us still use the reddit app too. Also it would be easier to understand that this is a different app from the reddit one. :))

I'm a moderator on several communities and whenever there are reports that require my attention it would be great if I got notifications much like I do for DMs or comment replies

When I write a post or comment via boost, I cannot select the language in which it was written. Since there are people on feddit.org who filter posts by language, posts created via boost are invisible.

Some Lemmy instances let their users change what their name is displayed as while keeping their username. Some users do this to set up a name they would preferred to be called by.

While Boost seems to let you change your display name, it does not appear to show display names for other users. This is also an issue in other apps which has caused people to getting upset when they are called by their username instead of their display name like they may prefer, simply because other people can't see their display name.

As mentioned in the title, it could just be possible that I'm missing something, but I did look all over the settings and couldn't find any setting to show display names.

If that isn't a thing yet, it's something to consider. But if I missed something, I'd be happy to be pointed towards the right direction :) Love this app tho, thanks

For anyone still using Boost for Reddit, the latest revanced patch from wchill fixes the missing audio from redgif videos and adds the ability to restore some (not all) deleted content.

Posting here since r/boostforeddit is still set to inactive.

Using android keyboard users can easily search GIFs but get a notice the app doesn't support inserting them into comments. Would like to have this feature.

Thank you for considering.
