Reminds me of the short story podcast ‘The Truth’ episode - “They’re Made out of Meat”. In fact I think it may have been a short story I once read online beforehand, that they may just have dramatized. (?)

A rose by any other name?

Spoiler tags have been broken in Boost for a while. 😔 They render correctly in other apps, and also on the instance’s web UI. Hopefully this can get fixed soon.

Mvp comment there. I checked mine and I am in the US, on a phone I originally bought on credit. I do not have that app installed. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

Definitely worth checking out your app list to make sure. I wonder if it accidentally came downstream from AOSP into the alt ROMs, and that’s why it’s not in my stock, proprietary, US market, flagship Google pixel device.

The least annoying reader on Android I’ve found is moon reader pro. It feels a lot worse to me than maple reader on iOS though.

Try Librera from F-Droid. I only wanted a pdf reader, and got that and an epub reader/ebook manager too. Apparently it’s also good for music manuscript too but I haven’t used it for that.

Can confirm, it crashed for me too. But not until a second or two.

It’s close, but not as elegant as it was in Boost for reddit.

Now the links open in Boost, but Boost is reduced to an android webview around the interface of my instance, instead of rendering the interface (loading inbox, displaying comments, etc) in Boost like it used to.

I was using Voyager for the past few months while waiting for Boost to become available, and I agree - this is leaned behaviour I can’t stop automatically doing now.

I’ll say it has. TIL. I didn’t even know there was a button. I only knew about the long-press menu to download an image…

You’re welcome! Isn’t it good to be back‽

I was thinking when I first installed it, 'huh, something isn’t quite Boost with this". I had to turn off Material design to get the old bluish theme back. Not sure if this is what you mean but maybe it can help!

For me it has been Voyager, which was the closest option until today. I wonder if Boost renders this spoiler tags correctly?

Edit: I guess not 😔

Matter of opinion. You’re literally in a community for the app you say is inferior. Why?

We’re all anxious to get back on Boost and launch the rocket 🚀 so I hope you take it as support and not pressure. Having a blast with Voyager for now, but Boost was always where it was at for me. Can’t wait to give it a shot when you’re ready to release it!

Do you know what kind of pricing model you’ll use? Will Boost for Lemmy be a separate purchase for removing ads, or do you intend to have a restore purchases button?
