For those of you wondering what all the fuss is about, here's a quick introduction to the app.
Yes, it’s yet another app for Lemmy, but based heavily on the mature but now abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.
Written in Flutter, so it is very multi-platform. We currently have builds available for testing for Android and iOS (also running on iPad and Macs [Apple Silicon only for the moment]). Brave souls can try building it for Linux or Windows and report back on their experiences!
Just installed it for Android and it already feels so much better than the mobile website or Jerboa. Thanks for the work, I'll be following the development of the app!
Liftoff is by far the best Lemmy app I've tried on Android. The UI is beautiful, and doesn't feel generic like others. Seems quite stable. Now available on Play Store. I'm really enjoying it!
I have subscribed to a few communities on lemmy.world, but when i try to do the same for communities on other instances I've added, it says i need to be logged in to that instance. I thought part of the way this worked was only needing one account to interact with all federated instances? Can somebody help me wrap my head around this? Strictly mobile user
I've noticed that the super script, spoiler and postscript markup isn't actually working on the app. The buttons in the formatting bar work, but they don't do the thing in the actual post.
I'm going through and literally downloading and testing every app for Lemmy, and Liftoff is really cool so far. One thing I've noticed is direct image uploading; are images hosted on Imgur, or somewhere else? And is direct video uploading being considered?
It looks like one of the most mature Lemmy apps on iOS.
As far as I see, it’s the only one currently, that allows to copy the text of the post and the text of the comments. That helps very much with the possibility to translate the text of the post or the comments, by the way.
The subscribed view says there are no posts, which definitely isn't true. Is this just not implemented yet? Or is it because lemmy.world isn't on 0.18 yet?
i just started with lemmy a few hours ago by downloading 'Connect for Lemmy' from the play store. i have found it interesting and all, but i just installed the Liftoff apk from your github and i think this post-reddit experience might actually have a future.
Thank you. I just discovered Liftoff! and it immediately replaced Jerboa on my Android tablet. Looking forward to seeing how this app matures, it's already great!
Same. Jerboa kept crashing for me. I liked it's look, but it made me look for others. This, I believe, is the only one that let's me filter subs like I could on RIF, which is one of the most important features to me
