Happy New Year, friends.

Was using Boost recently (Android, sh.itjust.works) clicking the thumbnail of a post that looked like an image of video.

Next I saw (a version of) my phone's downloads folder, where the .mov video had saved.

I was a little freaked that clicking a post thumbnail caused a file to immediately get downloaded and saved on my device - no prompt or otherwise.

The post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/52568758

Can I ask if this is intentional? Or a bug with Boost? Post was setup incorrectly? Or maybe the post's target doesn't 'stream' .mov videos as-such; just sends them to be saved. But still no prompt.

Multiple Lemmy apps serve the first 'page' of posts fine - even new posts or updates - but upon scrolling and requesting the next page, Boost gives an error message "timeout", and Blorp just doesn't load anything else (per app implementation, I know).

UPDATE: Another user mentioned that if you sort by Top instead of New/Hot/Active, infinite scroll works, and it does.

Thanks @AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works

UPDATE 2025-12-10: only just re-tested and realized it seems to be working for me (All:Active, keep scrolling, it loads new posts/doesn't time-out).

It seems it might've been fixed a few weeks ago (per comment below), but I've been mindlessly stuck using All/Subscribed:Top* in that time so hadn't checked.

Thought it fair to update my post. Happy doom-scrolling.

G'day all. Been using Boost on Android for a while, pretty good, but the past 4-7 days, whenever I load All, it shows a page of posts, and on scrolling down it looks like it's requesting more posts, the loading bars go back and forth across the top, but no new posts load, and it finally gives a small toast popup saying "timedout".

Have tried stopping the app/restarting, restarting the phone. Also tried a different Lemmy client but I couldn't recreate the issue.

From searching, I've seen similar symptoms from a while ago, and also a post here in the last few days asking why there isn't 'infinite scroll' (assuming it's a similar issue/cause).

Sorry if I've missed a solution/update etc.

If I can test or supply anything else .... Lemmy know.

Heh.
