[Bug] When joining a new community using Boost, when I try to later go to that community, I get an error message "404 couldn't find community"

As the title says, when I join a new community using the Boost app, and then later try to go to that community, I'm getting an error message "404 couldn't find community". Any community that I had already joined before using Boost, I'm not having this issue.

Edit: I did find a workaround for this problem. If you click on the three dots at the top of the community list, then click on Refresh. This seems to fix the problem.

Also, these new communities that I have joined since using the Boost app are not showing the instance name in my list of communities.

Not showing instance name.

Thanks for reporting. The instance was not saved to the database. Fixed for the next beta.

So, I've started seeing bug reports for the Boost App, yet I am still seeing myself as "registered" for it in Play Store... Is it out in a test market or something? Apk link?

Here is a link to the post from the Dev about being a tester and early access for the Boost app. It contains a link to sign up for it.

Fun Fact, I reproduced this error with the boost community. In other apps it is subscribed correctly. But not in boost.
