Viewing avif files

I can often see thumbnails for avif pics and when I click to view it I just get a black screen. If I long press the pic and click on the link it loads in the browser fine. I've gotten used to this and I can detect it pretty fast now since there's no loading bar at the bottom for these. But is there anything that can be done to get these to load with a single click like other image files?

'Show all comments' and 'show context' are identical. Why even have both?

When viewing a limited thread of comment's (for example, clicking on a comment from my history) There are two buttons at the top of the comments: 'Show context' (which should just show the next comment up the chain) And 'show all comments'

Both of these buttons have done exactly the same thing for the entire time I've used this app (around a year now): they both show the next comment up the chain.

You have to tap either button several times to get to the full list of comments. ie, show all comments. It doesn't matter which of the two you use, they both only show the next comment and not the full thread.

[Piefed-wide] Issue with "fake" crossposts in crosspost preview while making posts

I've been experiencing an issue with PieFed and the cross post preview when posting. I can put literally anything into the url bar, and I always get the preview showing that there are 25 crossposts. This even happens when there are actual posts of a link, it still just displays 25 and doesn't actually show any crossposts.

Here are some screens:

As you can see, it claims that test1234 has been posted 25 times, with hundreds of comments in each "crosspost".

Message notifications don't clear

Since I started using Boost years ago, I've noticed that private message notifications don't really seem to clear, even after reading and responding to the message. They eventually go away after maybe a month or so but during that time it still reads that I have an unread message. I can't find any way to manually clear them that seems to stick. Mark All As Read does nothing.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android (Pixel phone)

Edit: Mark All As Read is the double checkmark button. It doesn't always work.

Milky/hazed image previews?

I'm currently trying out Boost for Lemmy. For some reason, the thumbnails look milky and blurry. They have a kind of light haze over them. I haven't seen this with other clients. Is there a way to turn this off somewhere? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a setting for it. Im not talking about this nsfw pictures.

In another clientโ€”I think it was called โ€œConnectโ€โ€”thereโ€™s a feature that combines cross-posts into a single post (or hides the other ones). Is there something similar in Boost for Lemmy?

Missing Replies when using a Piefed instance

First of all, I want to thank you for developing this app and for the ongoing support.

When switching to Piefed recently I noticed that, for some posts, Boost only shows a very small subset of the actual replies. I have attached an example where this discrepancy is pretty obvious. To my knowledge, this does not occur when using a Lemmy instance.

Here is the link to the example post on piefed.world:

When opened in Boost, only 3 "top-level" replies are shown and the number of nested replies also only sums up to 10.

When viewing the post on the piefed.world web interface, however, logged in with the same account, many more replies are shown.

I tried removing all blocks/mutes in the settings of the app, but the problem persists.
