    Are any iOS users having some serious performance issues with Liftoff? I’ve tried both TestFlight versions and no matter what settings I use, Liftoff feels very sluggish.

      We’re working on improving refresh rate from current default 60Hz, would that explain what you’re seeing? It’s my main app for browsing Lemmy and it’s generally doing pretty well unless there’s about 1000 comments in a thread.

        What device are you using? I’m wondering if it’s related to ProMotion.
