Not a developer, just pure interest as a user. Doing my part 🫡
Please post this kind of thing in our stickied thread - we get a lot of posts similar to this.
The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it’s a solid app! Love FOSS software
FOSS software
I love free and open source software software, too! 😉
Yeah, it is pretty stable among other options. Definetly good choice usability wise.
I tried about five different android apps and LiftOff was the one I picked. Looks the best, runs smooth, nice interface, fast with updates. Love it.
👍👍👍
So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it’s my favorite from the ones I’ve tried. I still wanna try boost out!
Cool! 👍👍❤️
I prefer connect. It has a cleaner ui with less clutter imo
Connect is good too.
Same. Connect is much cleaner in my opinion. Still has some clunkiness and I don’t like that touching the screen on images closes the image, but overall it’s a great start.
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.
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.
Jerboa wouldn’t let me log in for some reason
It’s the only app I’ve tried so I know it’s the best one.
I can’t argue with this logic. Truly.
Such an explanation 🤣👍👍
I was going to say that I loved it, but right now it’s no longer showing me posts on my subscribed account on lemmy.world.
So I’m currently on my backup app, voyager.
Maybe you should relogin. lemmy.world was hacked recently
I’m having the same issue but liftoff isn’t letting me log out and then back in. I had to go to wefwef, or I guess it’s called voyager now.
Remove all liftoff data and login again 🙂
I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa.
There are a few features that either don’t exist or I haven’t found (jump to next comments thread), but it’s worked really well overall.
For context, I use Relay when I’m on Reddit
Check out Thunder! It’s my favorite Lemmy app so far coming from Relay. Similar to Jerboa but a lot smoother in my experience.
I couldnt figure out how to post pictures with that app and there were a few bugs, but then again, it’s Lemmy.
Kinda same path. Jerboa -> Liftoff >< wefwef 😁
wefwef is called voyager now
Still wefwef 😁
:)
jump to next comments thread
That feature is on Jerboa now!
I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.
Does lift off have the feature to highlight a comment and then hit a button to go directly to the next parent level comment?
kind of. It has “view context”, which doesn’t show the parent, but it also has “more context”, which will. So between the two you can get what you’re looking for in 2 clicks
cool!
Best app for my taste, similar to Infinity for Reddit.
Yeah, it is functional. But I think that it has small in common with Infinity, maybe more with something like Boost or RIF.
Yeah just the general UI, Infinity is certainly much more advanced.
It will definitely involve over time. It has active development.
I wish there was infinity for lemmy :(
I’m on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it’s available.
It’s available now. I got them confused. I have boost not liftoff.
Yeah I’ve been waiting for Boost since I joined Lemmy, but I’m enjoying LiftOff so much I’m no longer sure I’ll switch when Boost does become available.
Just tried Jerboa again. The search is not good. It doesn’t have the ability to search by comment, post, or user… Only search for communities. Liftoff, Memmy, and Voyager all have this function.
Fair enough. I’m not at that stage yet, still trying to find communities to join haha.
Coming from the Reddit is Fun app, I tried Jerboa first, thought it was fine, then tried Liftoff and it feels a lot better to me so far. But I’m still new to this universe, so I might try other apps and change my mind! Loving the diversity so far at least!
I’m also a RIF refugee. Liftoff is the first app I’ve tried for Lemmy. Overall I’m pretty happy. The updates get better and better. I’m still leaning how to Lemmy, but I really like it so far. One of the few things throwing me off at the moment is that I either can’t or don’t know how to easily tell what posts I’ve already seen. RIF would change the color of the text from white to blue. If they can add that then I’ll have nothing to complain about.
Also a RIF refugee. I’ve tried every Lemmy app I saw on Google Play, Liftoff is the one I’m happiest with.
fediverse is awesome. check out lemmyapps community and pinned post to find alternative apps 🙂❤️
do you know if Liftoff supports redgif etc.? it’s always annoying in Jerboa when you have to open such links manually instead of seeing it in the app self.
LIftoff is fine, but I like Thunder better.
For me Thuder has better UI but lacks functionality, f.e. answering to replies is nightmare because no context of comment.
I’m just bothered by the fact that it won’t let me download memes lol
Both Thuder and Liftoff can download any picture to your gallery 🤔
Thunder is what I’m using right now, too. It’s the most “clean” looking dedicated Lemmy app I’ve seen so far. Though I’m most likely going to switch to Boost for Lemmy once it’s available. I’m really looking forward to launching the rocket again :D
Would be nice if there was an option in the settings to turn on the ability to see upvote and downvote counts for every post and comment. It’s pretty much the only reason I keep going back to Jerboa. I really like being able to see the amount of downvotes something might’ve gotten.
Create issue on GitHub (look for similar issues before). Liftoff has ftiendly developers.
