    So far I replaced eternity with it. Eternity kept crashing and the swipe sensitivity was horrible. I’m liking liftoff. Crossing fingers.

    Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn’t like it’s user interface. Was it recently updated?

      For me it is not. But the most usable (voyager, wefwef lacks some basic features still).

    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.

    honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile

    the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess

    i also can’t see new comments i post without reloading

    idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn’t delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???

    i do think it’s way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won’t try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.

      Have you tried voyager (used to be wefwef) a lot of the stuff you want can be done in it. It is actually just a webapp or something not a google app or IOS equivalent, dont ask me to define the difference any more…

        I have and it is slow as fuck to type in it, it is also somewhat slow/overburdened so things take a moment and that annoys me, while Liftoff is very very fast. I much prefer the normal UI to WefWef/Vger due to the speed issues. The UI is also too iphoney but that’s a trivial issue.

          I think that might be a problem with your phone or browser. I’m typing this out in wefwef right now and there’s no difference between this and WhatsApp or any other app where I would type. Haven’t noticed any speed issues whatsoever and it feels pretty near to RIF overall for me.

    I’m not a fan. It’s laid out weird, like a Apple app or something. I just couldn’t get used to it.

    Connect and Jerboa are the two I’m trying to decide between now.

        Thunder is great, but it’s got some issues I hope they work out. I don’t like that you can’t block communities in thunder, or if you can its so convoluted that I haven’t figured it out yet. I also don’t like that it struggles to seamlessly refresh. You’ll be scrolling through the feed then two seconds later go through the exact same ten posts you just saw because it refresh glitched.

        On the other hand I think their feed aesthetic is the nicest of the bunch, and they have my absolute favorite feature where you can tap to unblur NSFW and then re-tap to reblur it all without leaving the feed. That is SUCH a nice feature.

        I’m using connect as my main ATM but I’ll def jump back to thunder if they can clean up some of the bugs!

          Try the latest release! I saw in the changelogs recently that both of these have been addressed.

    It immediately replaced connect for me. Absolutely incredible. I think I’ll have to pick around for some actual feedback, but that’s a damn good sign so early.

    Love the layout, organization and it’s immediately captured my entire Lemmy usage.

      There are some stupid things or bugs here and there but it is stable experience.

        I wish there was a simple “X” button to hide posts, like RIF had. I know you can do it via Lemmy, but it doesn’t seem to work in Liftoff until hours later. Maybe I’m doing it wrong because I’m new, but I’ve even gone to the browser side and I’m still seeing the same stuff 5 hours later.

        Overall, a very smooth experience. If Jerboa and Liftoff combined into one app, I think we’d have it all.

    I like Liftoff but the one thing that stops me from using it more is the dark theme is still a bit too light. Trouble is, I don’t like complete black Amoled mode either. Maybe I’m just hard to please 😁

      Messaging in general could use some attention. It’ll come fast I’d suspect…

    I couldn’t get it installed. It kept telling me “app not purchased”, but only gives me an option to install. It looks promising, though.

        Thank you. I thought about APK install, but then updates are annoying. I’ll keep trying. Honestly, though, I’m waiting for Slide for Lemmy. It’s what I used on Reddit, because I liked the UI and gesture control, and it’s likely what I’ll use on Lemmy when it becomes available on either app store. Still excited to try Liftoff, though. I couldn’t “connect” with Connect for Lemmy… Ok, I’ll leave…
