Seems like most reddit clients are named: “BlaBla for reddit”. It makes it easy to find clients for reddit. I wonder if this would also be beneficial for lemmy clients.
Yeah I agree. It would be easier to find. When I search for Liftoff, there is a bunch of games involving planes.
After downloading it and using all afternoon. Love it my only comment on the UX
- lines between cards on the dark amyloid theam.
Thats it. Otherwise it is pretty nifty.
I cannot comment on a lot of stuff i can with jerboa for some reason. It throws “you are not logged in there”
The link works for me, but for some reason I can’t find it when I search for it in the Play Store? I tried “liftoff”, “liftoff!” and “liftoff Lemmy”…
I had to search using:
Liftoff fediverse -reddit
Had to add the -reddit to keep the reddit apps from junking up the results.
Hopefully soon on f-droid as well
This is a pretty nice app! I especially like that it shows me content from multiple Lemmy instances, without my home instance needing to federate with them!
I have some feedback, though: when I see content from lemmy.ml, the app should use my lemmy.world account to vote and comment, as if I were viewing that instance through lemmy.world. It really defeats the purpose of federation if I can’t use the same account, after all.
I second this, intensely! It’s very silly…
Fdroid possibly wink wink
Developer of Connect here. Congratulations on the launch and Liftoff looks great!
Thanks. I’d not heard of Connect before, but it’s so exciting to see so many other great apps under development. It will keep us all on our toes!
You are not stripping spaces at the end of login names in your app (sorry to ping you here but saw your reply and it reminded me to ask)
I couldn’t get logged in to connect, or liftoff, then noticed I had a space (From selecting the suggestion on my phone). Didn’t catch it until just now trying to login to liftoff. I’ve seen a couple complaints about getting logged into these apps. Wonder if I’m not alone with the extra space.
I’ve got it installed via github but it doesn’t show up in the search in the playstore for me
Same, the direct link in the post worked for me.
What about Fdroid?
Scrolling is not smooth at all for me. Anyone else? Very jittery, low framerate. Pixel 7 pro.
Not a pixel but I notice this as well and seems to only happen when scrolling comments. Connect for lemmy was way worse about this and would get laggier until completely locking up. Infact none of the apps I’ve tried feel smooth when scrolling comments. Regardless…I think I like this app the best so far.
Hey I just discovered this Lemmy web app that’s so very good so far! Better than any app I’ve tried.
I “installed” it as a PWA on my device and it’s so good!
Signing in to first account only let me use email not username (lemmy.world) second account attempt to add (beehaw) produced an error. Android, Google pixel 6 pro. Didn’t really want to post here in your launch post but couldn’t find a place to enter bugs.
I think beehaw is having issues
Yeah beehaw was down
Excited to see more apps being developed for Lemmy.
My favorite of the options I’ve tried so far, only request currently is to be able to remove the bottom bar when scrolling down the feed.
Was having trouble figuring out how to collapse comments… Finally stumbled on pressing and holding. Maybe this will help someone else using Liftoff.
We’re making it a simple tap in the next release so don’t get too set on the long press :-)
This is how I have it in boost, comment controls (vote, reply etc) hidden by default, simple tap to show/hide those controls, long tap to collapse comments.
LOVE LOVE loving the UI
