Not a developer, just pure interest as a user. Doing my part 🫡
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.
👍👍👍
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 prefer connect. It has a cleaner ui with less clutter imo
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.
Connect is good too.
I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.
cool!
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
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 keep bouncing between this one and Jerboa. I like Liftoff a little more, as it’s easier to handle multiple instances and accounts, but I wish that it had mod tools so I wouldn’t have to go my communities in the browser or PC to do anything mod related.
As time will go on I am confident that mod tools will appear.
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.
Kinda same path. Jerboa -> Liftoff >< wefwef 😁
wefwef is called voyager now
Still wefwef 😁
:)

That feature is on Jerboa now!
Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn’t like it’s user interface. Was it recently updated?
I tried liftoff a few hours ago and same. Didn’t mind jerboa, but connect just clicked with me… I think because the flow is extremely similar to boost.
I couldn’t shake the same feeling I get when using discord when using liftoff. Just no.
To each their own. That’s why there are options.
Same. It looks and feels like “my first flutter app”. I switched to Thunder, which is also made with flutter, but is much more pleasant to use.
Which one do you prefer?
I dabbled with Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff, Connect, and wefwef.
I like Jerboa the most.
Jerboa and Connect have been my two favorite
I love it. Some things are a bit awkward ui wise but it’s smooth, fast and doesn’t heat up my oneplus one
Yeah, it is fast!
It was buggy and the “Subscribed” feeds weren’t showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it’s working well now.
I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I’ve tried.
There’s a toggle in the settings in Connect for that now.
It’s pretty nice, definitely prettier than jerboa. I still haven’t found an app that will let me swipe between post comment sections like Joey (for reddit) could. Heck, even the official reddit app could do it, it’s like the only feature it had that all of the 3rd party apps don’t. Once I find an app that can do that, I’ll probably stick with it
Create issue on GitHub. Liftoff has good developers!
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.
My only gripe is that there does not seem to be a “context” button as the website has when people reply to my comments. Other than that, seems pretty solid.
If you click chain button near comment in Inbox section then on mid of the screen will be button show context 😉
Mb. I thought that was the link button. Thank you stranger.
yup. Kinda confusing icon. Need improvement. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh mb. I thought was the “link” button.
This is awesome work. I wish posts had a thumbnail on the left or right to give you a snippet of the topic similar to the RIF app. I’d not then it mainly feels like a lot of words and read which is not horrible but the experience is slightly lessened and cluttered.
I don’t like the way it has a different color than the status bar. Looks jarring and incomplete.
You can change app colors in settings.
It’s not really a color problem. It’s the fact that the gray in the app is not the same shade as the gray in the status bar. Jerboa and other apps make it so seamless, it turns me off in Liftoff. Waiting for Sync/Boost for Lemmy.
