As a reader it's vastly better than Jeroba but the notifications are hidden in a very awkward way and I haven't seen access to the mod tools yet or figured out how to search for new communities.

I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.
Just installed it like 10 minutes ago. For an early access app, it's not too bad, easy to get around.
Keep improving and keep it up
Also, thanks
Best app for my taste, similar to Infinity for Reddit.
I wish there was infinity for lemmy :(
Yeah, it is functional. But I think that it has small in common with Infinity, maybe more with something like Boost or RIF.
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 using it right now. I'm torn between it and Thunder. They've both made lots of improvements in the last couple weeks.
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.
Please post this kind of thing in our stickied thread - we get a lot of posts similar to this.
Definitely my favourite one so far! Though I will still be experimenting with newer ones when they come out.
A couple features I'd like to see implemented:
- Setting a base instance/account and having links open through that instance. I understand this will put increased pressure on the base instance but from a user perspective this is a massive qol update.
- Finding a way to upload videos or converting small videos to gifs before uploading without having to go into a third party source or implementing third party connectivity for this purpose. This is probably out of scope for what the app is trying to achieve, but would be a great addition for content creation on Lemmy in general.
I tend to switch back and forth from Thunder to Liftoff and back. I like the layout and gestures of Thunder but Liftoff allows me to share memes directly from the app. That's a surprisingly rare feature.
Its decent but I would like an option to hide the bottom navigation bar
I tried it for a while, but ended up yp with Jerboa. I'm not a fan of how it makes you choose which instance to search and view from rather than just contextually basing everything off of what instance you're signed into.
Does it / will it have mod tools available? The only way I've found so far to access the mod inbox, pin threads etc is through the Lemmy website
It's become my default app for Lemmy.
I am still waiting to try Boost, though.
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'm liking it. Only thing missing for me I think is aligning images on the left instead of the right.
I tried Liftoff, ran into some login issues, and some other minor annoyances and switched to Connect. So far I'm liking connect
I don't like the way it has a different color than the status bar. Looks jarring and incomplete.
I seem to be using WefWef (just renamed "Voyager") and Liftoff the most.
A big fan of Sync, tho, so we'll see where we end up when that arrives.
I'd like the ability to open links with my browser of choice instead of the default in-app browser.
