Not a developer, just pure interest as a user. Doing my part 🫡
So far I replaced eternity with it. Eternity kept crashing and the swipe sensitivity was horrible. I’m liking liftoff. Crossing fingers.
photon client in browser is way better in my opinion. maybe you should try it. official instance is phtn.app
Liftoff feels like a love letter to Relay for Reddit. It’s just missing a quick toggle to move thumbnails to the left or right in compact view.
Props for referencing the NoPoop meme in the settings too 🤣
base 🤣
Does it / will it have mod tools available? The only way I’ve found so far to access the mod inbox, pin threads etc is through the Lemmy website
🤷

I missed this before
never mind 🙂
I have been using it extensively including on Desktop. Overall I am super happy I have a cross platform Lemmy app across different platforms from desktop to mobile.
It is cool that it has this ability. But for linux we need Flatpak. It is been worked out though.
I’d love options to disable the Tap to Hide feature, and have Make Text Selectable always on.
This is currently my daily driver. Awesome work!
Awesome work!
I seem to be using WefWef (just renamed “Voyager”) and Liftoff the most.
A big fan of Sync, tho, so we’ll see where we end up when that arrives.
Same here. Voyager and Liftoff are most stable options for me.
The main issue I’m having with liftoff is that I cannot upvote or comment posts from other instances with my lemmy.ml account, so I’m still using jerboa
It is kinda bad UI decision, not a bug. You should login into your account on some instance and choose through which instance you get content on the top of the screen. After that you will not have problems with commenting. Same thing with search, under search rectangle choose your instance! ❤️
Yeah but that’s the same way all other clients work, except that the do it in a more intuitive way and with a less cluttered UI
agreed
I figured this out pretty early on but still getting this error. Weird.
Maybe you should relogin. My assumption.
Jerboa wouldn’t let me log in for some reason
This should not be a problem with LiftOff. I can upvote and comment on posts from any instance. Have you tried the most recent update?
I can upvote and comment on posts from any instance.
I mean you can if you have multiple subscription or if you do it through your main instance, but that’s a feature all clients have and I think they do it in a more intuitive way, conpared to LiftOff
Have you tried the most recent update?
Yes, I’m on v0.10.7
In that case, I don’t know what you mean. I only have one account on one instance and I can seamlessly interact with posts from other instances.
I wanted to try liftoff but I could ever get logged in on Android. So I just used connect.

I was using a lemmy world account which was a default on it at the time.
It’s the fastest lemmy app I’ve tried and I’ve tested all the ones I can find on android
I’m liking it. Only thing missing for me I think is aligning images on the left instead of the right.
Submit issue on their GitHub. Don’t worry, developers are friendly ❤️
Will it be available on F-droid?
It on izzyondroid repo. Developers submitted request to official repo but timing is out of their control, it is controlled by F-Droid team.
It’s already available in fdroid
I like it. My only criticism so far is that I use Dex pretty frequently and it is not very usable through Dex.
Wouldn’t you just use Lemmy in your browser in Dex mode? Don’t have a Samsumh so idk
That’s what I’m doing. But if I find a good link via liftoff and want to continue reading on Dex I have to find the post again.
It’s a very small criticism I know, and somewhat rare use case, but it’s the only one I have.
Such a niche use case 🙂
I don’t hate it by any means. But design wise I always end up back in Jerboa which (to me) seems more old-school and familiar.
I find it hard to put into words, and obviously it’s completely subjective, but aps like Connect and Liftoff seem too “fluffy” to me, with UI elements being larger and in-your-face. Whereas Jerboa just kind of gets the heck out of my way.
I also prefer UI Jerboa concept to concept Liftoff. It is just better.
I tried it, but the “compact” view is wayyyyy too sparse. I have a phone the size of the moon, I should be able to view more than 3 and a half single-line posts on screen
Agreed. It will be fixed in the next updates.
I couldn’t enjoy Liftoff since it doesn’t appear to have gesture support. Connect and WefWef are what I use until Sync for Lemmy is released.
Also, LiftOffs gigantic button at the top is an eyesore. I don’t find the UI as well done.
This lack of gestures actually makes me want to give it a go. I’ve never once used gestures on purpose, I always just accidentally do stuff.
Edit: seems pretty sweet!! It handles instances in a really weird way. If you leave the default lemmy.world account available and don’t login, you can’t interact with posts from that instance even if you are logged in with an account from another instance.
If I login on both, all of my post and comment history I assume would be split between the relevant account. Weird.
I really like the UI and performance of the app overall though.
fair points 🙂
