See title. In app playback for loops content (ala the in app YouTube player) would be fantastic.

I sometimes find it hard to tell at a glance if a post I'm looking at is one I have clicked on since they are just a slightly lighter grey than posts I haven't clicked on. Being able to set it to whatever color I would like would be very helpful.

When coming from an NSFW post, both the post links and any links in comments should open in an incognito tab by default, instead of a regular tab. This is the main reason I currently use the (pretty broken) internal browser ATM.

I believe there is an intent to handle this, see https://conn.dev/chrome-incognito.html (which also seems to work for other browsers).

Votes attract votes. Users feel more inclined to follow the positive or negative trend when voting. If given the option to hide vote scores it would give users the ability to vote without being influenced by how everyone else has voted, and maybe have an effect on what posts rise to the top.

If you want to get fancy it could have the option to show scores of things that a user has already voted on.

It's a fediverse short video sharing platform, and direct support would be nice to have :)

I'm hoping it will also be easy enough to implement?

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

Coming over from boost from reddit, which only shows gifs in comments as a small square (tappable to show the .gif), I am absolutely heartbroken to see that Lemmy boost actually supports them. I've never wanted to see a reaction gif in a comment. Never will. It's IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented and something lemmy should've never copied.

I'd greatly appreciate it if there was a setting to show inline stills as the target link, given that they're sometimes useful and relevant to the discussion, and a setting to either show in comment .gifs as a little square/target link. Even better would be the option to treat comments with .gifs in them as if the user was blocked - i.e. not show them at all.

I would love an option to hide all anime content just like we can hide NSFW content.

I subscribe to a bunch of communities and often there is a cross post with the same title and the same URL link across four or five of them at once. This usually results in a screen or two of the same post repeating for me, and I usually just find the one with the most commentary to check out.

It would be nice just to do that automatically, and shrink to a single line or otherwise "fold in" the other cross posts to the highest commentary post so they don't clog my feed. Maybe a few "related" lines under the body of the post when you go into it, similar to the indication that it's been cross posted.

Thoughts?

It would be great if we can get a option to adjust the amount of time someone is banned for when we ban them. Right now I believe it is set to permaban.

It's annoying to have to click "view all the comments" and then scroll to find where the one you were looking at is. The other thing I've done is click the permalink button to see it in a browser to find the context...

It would be helpful, for those of us who have pictures load in our feed, to have the option to have those posts marked as read after voting.

This would eliminate the need to click on every picture to use other "marked as read" features.

I think Boost should show both positive and negative scores on posts, comments. On this platform it matters.

BTW unlike the populist, commercial platform you can't really censor whatever you don't agree. Which is a good thing.

I've been using tags on users who I've interacted with to help me realize if I've interacted with someone before. It would be nice to change the color from green to others, even if it's a prechosen color palette.

it's an eyesore to use the app with the down vote icons since my instance disabled them. when you click on them they work but obviously it doesn't actually do anything (the animation works but the down vote isn't registered since they're off on the instance)

it would be nice to hide them altogether like in eternity for lemmy.

thanks :3

Hopefully this is a simple request.

Give us a setting to enable HD on Zoom. Once enabled, when a low res image is zoomed in, boost will automatically switch to HD.

This would allow us to choose which images are downloaded in HD. It would help speed up image preloading and save on overall data usage.

Thanks for reading.

Hello, Ive used boost for reddit for a long time and really enjoyed it. I would like to use Boost for Lemmy in the same way as my main app, but whenever I open it multiple times on the same day, after like 10 posts I get the same posts I already read before. This is really the only thing keeping me from switching from Connect. Hope this reaches you and have a great week.

Edit: If we cant get this feature, is there any other way to get new stuff to my feed? As is I can only browse Boost for 10min per day.

I made another post about how the only keeping me from using boost is not having the image above the title and everything else, but I forgot about gestures. Gestures are the primary thing keeping me from using Boost. I can get over the title being above the post's content but not having gestures is the real annoyance.

I'd like the gestures to be basically the same as the Sync for Lemmy's gestures or Connect for Lemmy's gestures. Basically, from right to left, a short swipe can upvote, a long can be a downvote, and an even longer swipe can save/bookmark the post, or for comments the even longer swipe is for replying

The actions don't have to be exclusively what I said above. It would be great if they were customizeable.

For NSFW images, in card mode where images are shown in full size, the default level of blur allows others to see the essence of the image. It would be nice to be able to increase the level of blur further. Perhaps three levels would be good.

I love boost for reddit, but this is literally the only thing keeping me from using boost.
