Everyday it gets harder to pick a lemmy app to use that isn’t Jerboa. Lmfao. This is great! Atm im between this and Thunder.
I do have one issue i see wasn’t fixed, but i believe someone has mentioned it. Which is I cannot see content if i go directly to an NSFW sub. It acts like there isnt anything there, but i know I’m able to as I can see it in the everything feed and subscribed feed.
There’s a few bugs around NSFW, I hadn’t gotten to those yet but I will!
Y’all are doing really great work, and so goddamned quickly too. Jerboa won’t even let me log in, much less navigate this easily.
I can easily see this becoming my new time sink once Boost dies in two days! Loving the app so far, very very impressive for such an early version. One thing I’d love to see (correct me if this is already possible) is having the refresh not only available at the top of the page. Having to scroll up for half a minute just to refresh is a bit tedious :D
Yes this is coming!
Much appreciated :)
Just installed the app via the playstore. I needed to use the website to be able to access it.
BTW, rating can’t be correct:
Content rating PEGI 18 • Extreme violenceI like how you can add multiple accounts and get an overview of all the subscribed channels in 1 view. Posting seems to be an issue yet, at least here with multiple acocunts. (probably pebkac issue, as it’s less then an hour on the device)
This I’m sure is due to the fact that people can upload nsfw posts, even though it can be moderated.
Would love support here if any one has experience with the play store in this area
Coming from Apollo (RIP and o7,) I love this app so far!
I didn’t see it on your list, but communities I have blocked are showing up on the frontpage when I have “all” selected.
Your app is awesome, many thanks. I’m missing only the possibility to change the main color, otherwise it has aöready everything I need.
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.
Using it right now and it feels ok and fluid.
What device are you using? I’m wondering if it’s related to ProMotion.
Just installed the app and really like it so far. Keep up the great work!
I’d love to see the ability to hide read posts. I’m coming from baconreader and loved that feature.
Do we have any notification of getting replies yet?
Using oled dark if that makes a difference
Push notifications are on our to-do list
I meant a notification in app, like a number next to the bell or it just changing colour.
Oh yes we’re tracking an issue for that. It will be implemented
Lovely, thank you.
Would love to be able to jump to the top of the feed by hitting the home button too if that’s being planned.
You’re all doing a great job so far. I already feel that little bit of loyalty to liftoff.
Will you implement UnifiedPush?
Yeah that’s on my list. We’ll have to implement something for iOS also so we’re taking this enhancement slow.
Cool app, just got it for Android. I’m having issues adding an instance though: !lemmy.eco.br
I was eager to try out Liftoff but unfortunately I can’t seem to log in on it :/
I noticed my password contains a space in the middle and I always get an “invalid password” error.
I didn’t try yet to change the password and try again but I suspect the password field when you login might not like a space in it.
In any case, if I can check if the password is really the issue, I will try to create a proper bug report on the git repository or something.
Thanks for the hard work ! It makes me happy to see devs embracing Lemmy and trying to make the best out of a pretty sad situation with reddit.
Oh you might be on to something. There was a similar bug report but we thought it was their password length. It might be spaces. I’ll take a lol. Thanks!
Great job!
Awesome release loving the app!
Edit: I downloaded, the app from the app store, It seem to crash a lot when logged in, I wonder if its related to the instance Im logged in, currently using lemmy.world.
Shouldn’t be. Many of us, myself included are using lemmy.world and liftoff as a daily driver.
Strange, been trying out a lot of stuff, using 0.9.18 and its just crashes for me everytime I visit the first page. I did observe that it seem to work fine if viewing directly a community when logged in, I gave up for now, I think it has something to do with the lemmy 0.18 update perhaps it will fix it self once lemmy.world gets updated to 0.18 or so.
Found out it was a lemmy.world issue. I had a lemmy.ml account tried logging in with it and that seem to fixed the problem. I guess it is related to the switch to http which happen in lemmy 0.18 while lemmy.world is still in 0.17.
Edit: While still using lemmy.world account, some observation I saw, It seem to crash only when viewing the first screen you encounter when opening the app, if you wait long enough there. If viewing directly to a community it works just fine.
First of all, great app. Question though: it seems there’s no button to block communities, am I missing it or hasn’t it been added (yet)?
You can from the 3 dots on the community page.
There is however a bug where if you use the everything -> all feed blocked communities will still show up. Working on a fix for that
