You guys are legends, I love this app. Thanks for all of your work.
Is there a way to see why the Play Store release is being marked as incompatible with my device? Because the GitHub version runs perfectly fine.
Device in question is an OnePlus 3 running LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11)
Wow and I thought my 8T was running really well for being almost three years old. Yours is seven!
I changed out the battery but other than that it’s still going strong. More than powerful enough for my workloads (mainly browsing and videos).The OLED screen is still in perfect condition.
Doesn’t support 5G and some GNSS providers if that’s something you care about. But at some point I’ll be forced to upgrade because its not going to get anything newer than Android 11.
I hate having to push this every time but is there any progress on being able to see media and images in a post while commenting, without having to exit the comment altogether?
Connect for Lemmy dev here. That photo opening animation looks great!
Fixed and updated ModLog Pages & API
What does this mean? Does it have to do with moderating?
Yes you can now see the mod logs for communities in the about tab of a community page
I’m still randomly not able to interact with other instances on certain posts while it works on others.
I’m an idiot.
I love this app so damn much. Thank you for continuing to persevere <3
Changed photo previews in post feed to have a consistent maximum height and updated opening animation (prefanatic)
Thanks, I hate it. I don’t want a preview, I want the real thing. Full pictures in the feed was one of my favorite features about Liftoff and you just removed it completely. Could at least have made it a setting.
I guess I could live with previews if there was a clear indicator on whether I’m seeing a preview or the whole picture fits the maximum height - now I only realize I need to click on it because e.g. the meme doesn’t make any sense so there’s probably some caption that I’m missing.
Great work otherwise, thank you for your efforts, but this feature sucks. (Great opening animation, though.)
I hate to be a bother, but I support this comment. I was quite happy just scrolling my memes without needing to tap on the post, but now top text and bottom text are cut off most of the time.

I’m so excited that this app is rolling with the same fervent continuous updates and improvement activity needed to hold Lemmy together under the deluge of new users. I have actively seen the app get better and then had to look up to see if it had been updated.
Nice work! It’s become increasingly a pleasure to use.
I seem to have lost full height images in my feed. Was one of the reasons I ended up sticking with liftoff.
This has been added back!
Great work you’re doing here guys
When I tap on a link to a community in another instance, it takes me there, but if I then try to subscribe it tells me to pick my account first I do this, then it reloads the page, and only then can I subscribe. What is the point of this step? Liftoff obviously already knows what account I’m in so why do I need to choose it before I can subscribe?
