See the featured post; follow that link. Don’t go to the regular Boost in the play store

I’m just keeping a few, in case anything breaks in Boost. I used a lot of apps, but lately really liked Connect. However, there was a bug in there that only some people experienced, where i could not read any comments in one of my accounts. So, just in case something like that happens in Boost, i’m keeping two other apps around.

The dev made a featured post. In there, you will find a special link to the beta testing part. So, ignore the boost app where it says you registered. Just follow the link in the Lemmy post (pinned at the top)

Lemmy has no ads, they exclusively work with donations, i think. But Boost has ads.

I was wondering the same thing. I’m guessing it will stick, otherwise - i assume - that option would probably not be visible for us just yet.

Btw, you can’t login with 2Fa.

There was a user, don’t remember who, who said:

For anyone unable to login due to 2FA: a workaround for now is to login elsewhere, disable 2FA, login to Boost, then re-enable 2FA. Bit of a pain because you get a new token but as long as you don’t log out of Boost it appears to stick.

Look for the pinned post that the dev made; in it you’ll find a special link to go to the beta access. So, ignore the ‘ordinary’ boost for lemmy link where you can register. Hope this helps!

It certainly does! Thank you for your very quick reply

I think i’m going to try my other installed apps for a while again. I didn’t use those for a couple of updates, so it might well be that they have improved a lot. I’m not having any real attachments like i had with boost as of yet :-)

I have Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder and Connect installed and cycled through them to test them out. But lately i noticed i seem to be gravitating towards Connect.
