Liftoff!

Someone please add the option to block an entire instance.

aa

Just downloaded it. So far, it's the only one I've found that allows you to filter your subs by typing. Makes navigating subs much faster.

I like it so far!

I'm not sure how to submit GitHub issues, but there are a few things I want to note (I'm on a Pixel 6 Pro):

Sometimes when opening a post, after loading the entire comment screen is taken up by a blank gray screen. I can slide back out to the post/feed view, and after a few attempts re-enter the comment view and actually see comments. I haven't seen other complaints about this, and don't know what's causing it.

When I use the built-in browser to view a link, there is no shortcut to back out to the comment view. Instead, I have to mash "back/up" enough to return to the view. A nice inclusion would be some sort of top bar or navigation bar to allow "leaving" the link and returning to my normal Liftoff view.

Thanks for everything!

I just switched over from Connect. Looks great!

Great work. My go-to app for now

Theming + support for more instances, this is gonna make Liftoff my go-to app. Thanks!

Adding a translation option is a great quality of life feature! Thanks a lot to all the team who supports the development!

boy, every time I think I’ve found the client that’s gonna be my go-to, I find another that impresses me. your app is absolutely on top of its game!

As much as I love swipe actions, I really really really love how easy it is to go back to a feed from a post in liftoff since actions aren’t tied to swiping. If you ever decide to change this, I hope you’ll leave an option in to revert it. (Pulse for squabbles also went the “anti-swipe” route and it’s been eye-opening to compare apps based on this feature alone)

Liftoff also handles instance navigation sooo well. The ability to see front pages for instances you aren’t a member of from inside an app is an awesome feature that no other app I’ve tried has offered (the only post I’ve made is requesting this exact thing…). Dunno if it’s intended to work this way but if you add an instance on the login form but just don’t login, it’ll still show up in the drop-down allowing you to view the local/all feeds for it.

Can’t wait to see what else you have planned! The newest update with themes isn’t even the version I have yet so excited about that.

Thanks so much!

Best looking client for Lemmy right now. By far. Love the accent color chooser. Do you have any plans to implement Material You so that it's automatic?

Loving the primary colour option! The default was the only thing I wasn't keen on in the app, and now I can jazz it up as I see fit. Awesome! Keep up the fine work 😎

Notifications??

I know on the top left there is the bell icon to look at notifications. It works nice but there is no change in how it looks if I have a new Notification. It would be great if it changed to the color when I have a new reply to one of my comments.

I love this app though. Very nice. Closest to RIF I have found. Thank you for everything

What is the test flight link?

I had been waiting for Boost for Lemmy to arrive but Liftoff is so nice I may be tempted to stay here long term.

Very impressive how far this app has come in a few updates. Seriously well done.

It's the best app for lemmy imho, thanks for the good work!

I love that it's the only one that allows me to select text like RIF, I wish there was a setting to make it selectable by default on long press!

Amazing work! Thanks for the lightning fast updates. That keyboard opening bug was annoying

Just wanted to use my first comment on Lemmy to thank the devs of this app. Its simple, intuitive(mostly, learning new stuff is hard), and looks super clean. Watched RiF grow for over ten years, I'm excited tovsee where this goes.

Doing great work, I love the new by hour and 6 hour setting. Very happy with the app.

Thanks for the hard work, it's been my favorite app for Lemmy so far!

A couple of questions though:

• Will we be able to subscribe to communities on other instances in the future (as Jerboa allows)?
• I am registered on Lemmy.ml but still Lemmy.World appears on my app when choosing Subscribed/Local/All. Any way to hide it?

LOVE the themes options. Hands down, this is going to be my go-to Lemmy app.

Just a quick question as to whether or not search in comments and the ability to view media and images in a post while commenting is planned for future updates? (I got a response to a post I made asking for these for transcribing purposes, but not sure if they're actually something planned to be implemented. Thank you!)

Not appearing yet for me

Thank you for bringing such a great tool for the lemmy community!

Hi, i made a small patch to hide posts from the feed, and i'm not sending a PR on github because it's unfinished, might be bad code and i don't know if i will finish it. So if anyone wants to finish it feel free to do so. It was rebased a couple hours ago, so there's probably no confilicts if you git apply.

What it does:

• adds a button to the post
• when that button is clicked, it hides the post (globally via the postId, so u could still see it from other instances, i think)

What is missing (IMO):

• Some way to see which posts were hidden
• Some way to unhide them
• Config option to disable/enable the button.
• Improve the code? Currently it just checks every post in the post builder if the postId is in the list and swaps it with a SizedBox(height:0), might be better to filter in the fetcher.

edit: added GIF

Absolutely brilliant. The AMOLED dark mode is perfect now with the line in between posts, but if liftoff could use the system's accent color (at least in Android) it would be amazingly sexy.

Are there any plans to add more appearance options? Particularly with font colours, I want to adjust it so the text is just a bit more grey at night.

Added core support for deep links like liftoff://lemmy.world/c/liftoff (shocklateboy92)

I find this idea really cool (and intriguing) - though can't help but feel it's a bit limited - it'd be cool if all the lemmy app developers could come up with a common scheme for lemmy links as an unofficial 'standard' so the same 'deep' link could be used across all apps (where compatible)

I'm trying to log in, but seemingly no matter what instance I try, the log in button just hangs indefinitely.

I have a recommendation. If you onboard to the Izzy on Droid repo, it has a much faster turnaround time than normal Fdroid. It's good for applications at an early stage of development.

Will there be a way to view a commenters profile?

I’ve really enjoyed it so far

Looks awesome! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this effort. I’ve only installed the app this afternoon, but it’s completely usable despite the occasional bug or instability from the upstream server’s API. It’s become my go-to for Lemmy on mobile, and with all this being made available for free, you have my appreciation.
