    yaaaay! i go between boost and eternity but this new update is wonderful boosts rocket again

    all i want now is for the down vote buttons to go away since they’re not used on my instance

    a screenshot from eternity for lemmy showing a post with the down vote button removed

    and maybe support for instance emojis when composing like when you type : and then it autofills suggested instance emojis :)

      Nope, I’m using a different markdown library. Also they wouldn’t render on Lemmy website for the rest of users

    B-but I thought Boost was abandoned because you didn’t update it for awhile…

    On a serious note thanks for your work rmayayo I’m only on lemmy cause of you. I’m not sure how you resist making fun of those “Boost is abandoned” people, really grinds my gears as somebody who’s released stuff of my own and had people making similar claims for absolutely no reason (literally have a public git they can look at) but oh well. I’ve been extremely pleased with Boost both back on reddit and now here on lemmy your work is appreciated man

      I don’t notice any of that personally (probably missed it). Did the dev reply to any of those claims? Over six months of no updates is kinda worrisome

        Occasionally yes but 6 months is frankly just not worrying at all. Loads of projects rarely get updates, for example video games Operating systems, for example take Android, is Android abandoned because each update takes about a year? Obviously no, the frequency of updates doesn’t correlate to if the project is abandoned. People hassling rmayayo (albeit via a post) is not at all helpful to actually making any progress. Speaking from experience that kind of bs makes me want to stop working on my project. Obviously my work isn’t appreciated if all they care about is release speed. Look to literally any large project, especially in the OSS world and you’ll typically see pretty lengthy gaps between releases and very few patches. That means they release less frequently for higher quality, something that isn’t possible if the only thing you care about is how often you get updates

      Same. When Reddit cracked down on third-party clients, I quickly realized that I liked Boost more than Reddit, and I’m super happy about how it’s coming along.

    Thanks for the update!

    I found a post though that still has very bad performance https://sh.itjust.works/post/35534975 - it’s safe for work, it’s about a game/mod. Scrolling through the post is very choppy, the app (or my phone) is really struggling. I’m using an Xperia 1 VI.

      I see what’s going on. Boost only resizes images hosted on Lemmy and that post uses external images 😩
