What is the difference between blocking and muting user/community/instance?
  • rmayayo rmayayo 3mo ago 100%

    I suppose when muted, posts from lemmy.ml would not appear in my feed. Same thing when blocked. The only difference will be the visibility of lemmy.ml itself, its posts, and communities. If muted, I could still access them, and when blocked, they would not exist for me. Am I right?

    Yes!

    What about comments and private messages? From my experience, when muted, they are still visible , but when blocked, what happens?

    I can only explain the behavior of muting because is the one I developed for Boost. Muting only affects posts in a feed. If you mute an user, you won't see posts from that user in your feed. It doesn't affect comments or messages.

    Muting is a Boost feature. It won't show posts from those communities in your feed

    Blocking is a Lemmy feature. You won't see blocked communities or posts from those communities.

    Is it possible to have higher resolution thumbnails?
  • rmayayo rmayayo 3mo ago 100%

    By default the app loads low resolution thumbnails when using mobile data, and higher resolution on wifi. To always load high resolution thumbnails, disable data saver options on "Settings-Data and storage"

    I am updating the app to support new lemmy features now that I have more time :)

  • Mark as read on scroll not working.
  • rmayayo rmayayo 4mo ago 100%

    The parameters being used changed with some recent Lemmy version. Fixed for the next version!

    Right now I am finishing the "hide post" feature

    It is working again, Reddit fixed the issue

    If you are a mod you won't get the 429 error

  • Boost for reddit has now truly 100% died. Hello Lemmy!
  • rmayayo rmayayo 5mo ago 100%

    Edit: Working again

    Reddit did some change in the API that breaks many apps. As far as I know they are aware of the issue and will fix it. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/1d3spoc/error_getting_submitted_with_mobile_useragent/

  • Anyone here still using boost for Reddit?
  • rmayayo rmayayo 6mo ago 95%

    It still works for mods 🤷

    I stopped browsing Reddit in July

  • Internal YouTube Player isn't working.
  • rmayayo rmayayo 7mo ago 100%

    The Android Youtube plugin does not work anymore, Google has discontinued it, that's why it is disabled even if the setting is checked. I'll remove the setting.

  • Setting Show score doesn't seem to do anything
  • rmayayo rmayayo 7mo ago 100%

    That setting from Lemmy is not implemented in the app yet.

  • what do I have to hit "hide read" 6 or 7 times to hide everything?
  • rmayayo rmayayo 7mo ago 100%

    The app only hides read posts that are loaded on the screen. After pressing hide read, Boost load the next page of posts that might contain read posts too.

    If you don't want to see read posts, disable "Show read posts" in your account preferences

  • Lemmy 0.19 update, log in again if you are experiencing problems
  • rmayayo rmayayo 8mo ago 100%

    Stupid question just to make sure, are you using Boost 1.0.12?

  • Is there a way to browse communities of a selected other instance?
  • rmayayo rmayayo 8mo ago 100%

    Every other instance besides lemmynsfw kicks me off my app

    When an instance migrates from Lemmy 0.18 to the new version 0.19 invalidates all users credentials and requires login again. Lemmynsfw is still in 0.18.

  • Lemmy.world updated to version 0.19.3, you may need a new authentication token for everything to work normal, so please log in again in Boost if you are experiencing problems. Thanks! https://lemmy.world/post/12525192
