I can now open the links from !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl now :)

We appreciate the updates and you. The app is stable for me and while I look forward to more updates, take your time with your other life stuff, thank you!

Can we get Mark as read on scroll? This was a huge benefit in the reddit app
- I second this. I see a lot of repeat content just because I didn't vote or open it
- Yes loved this feature and I'll purchase the app if I can get a few more improvements even though I barely know what I'm doing here. 😅

Take your time for updates! Grateful to have boost as an option as is!
Being able to open embedded images in comments made me happy,
Thank you!

Sorry to ask this but any estimate for when Boost will support Lemmy 0.19's Auth changes since some instances have already updated and the App can't be used there due to the changes.
- I've already started working on it. It will not take too long.

This list contains pretty much everything I wanted in this app. Thank you for your work

I'm liking the update, new controls for images in comments are great, but can we get an option to collapse/hide all inline images in comments by default too? We've got granular control over the post images, and can hide them entirely if we choose, it'd be nice to have that option for images in comments as well.
You're doing great by the way don't stress yourself out

Thank you for the updates! The most important thing for me as a user is that the app is stable and works for nearly all things I'm doing with it.

Question, Is there moderation features in this Boost for Lemmy like I remember in the reddit version?
I don't see any way to moderate from this app.
- No, moderation tools will be added in the future 👍
  
  Thanks!

The link button uses the image link template. Could you remove the ! from it?
- Fixed for the Next beta

Love the update, works perfectly besides one small thing.
In my device, the local and global explore tab show only local communities (tried it on multiple instances)

Oh hell yes! The community explorer is a huge upgrade IMO
I really missed the long press on links too so this update is wonderful
Thank you!

I'm happy for the improvements but the bug of the feed grayed after opening a pic still remains, it makes boost unusable because after opening/closing 4-5 images everything becomes too dark to read
- Device and Android version?
  
  Xiaomi 13 on Miui Global 14.0.6.0

Can sidebar>profile be set to comment automatically please? Or let us select the default tab start up.
