Thank you so much! + minor issue with app icon
Thank you so much! + minor issue with app icon
First of all, thank you so much for doing Boost for Lemmy. Boost was what made reddit nice, while their app and web ui went down the drain. I am super happy to now be able to use Boost to access lemmy! The app already seems to be quite solid (haven't seen a bug, yet).
The only minor issue I have is that Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy have the same set of icons and are quite difficult to distinguish:
Though, that can be easily worked around by changing the icon for one of them via settings. Maybe the default icons + a small super imposed logo/mascot of the respective platform would be a nice idea (there might be copyright issues).
Does boost for Reddit still work? I quit Reddit and deleted my account and moved to lemmy. I assumed boost for Reddit no longer functioned.
My wife still uses it and tells me that nothing has changed with its functionality. It quit working on my phone ages ago and I have been here since. How are folks getting Boost for Lemmy? Play store still shows it as a prereg. I'm on Voyager at the moment.

Please don't clutter up the beautiful icon. I changed the reddit boost icon to the grey version as a reminder that Reddit killed it.
Funny, I did the same for almost the same reasoning.
I was wondering about this when somebody mentioned it in the other thread, so I hope you don't mind me asking here, why would you still have the Reddit application still installed?
It doesn't work since the API was shut down, and there's no other reason to keep it installed.
If you simply remove it, there won't be any confusion around the icons any more :-D
I haven't seen any bugs either! Though I seem to be missing the hide post feature, which I use when I'm scrolling and I see something that's very triggering, and I want to ensure I don't see it again 😟

Because the official app sucks.

That's not entirely true. It still works if you're a moderator of at least one sub.

Then I'd have no bearable way to access reddit, though. Which I rarely do anymore, but still.
Head into the Theme settings in-app. You can change the app icon in there.
Yah, I know. That's what I wrote in the post.
You right, you right.
