Liftoff!

It's that time again Lemmings.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
2. Select Storage and Cache
3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

I recently saw an article (https://stackdiary.com/heap-buffer-overflow-in-libwebp-cve-2023-5129/) that said WEBP images could be a huge security hole right now and I know Lemmy uses a lot of WEBP images.

I'm not sure how long this has been known, so maybe the Liftoff devs already took care of it. Does anyone know if Liftoff has already made the necessary patches?

Are any of these features already existing (and can be activated, but I didn't see how)?

(1) Making the sub-lemmy in the header have a different color so the user can visually spot the topic before reading the title

(2) Moving the header road footer, so see the topic/sub-lemmy after the title of the post

(3) removing the exclamation mark in the sub-lemmy header across the app. Since it's present in all sub-lemmy's it is a bit a nuisance

(4) change the size of the sub-lemmy names in the list of subscribed sub-lemmy's

(5) write in user's points in the about tab

(6) graying out titles of posts already read

(7) search through posts you only upvoted (but not saved). This may be a Lemmy feature request and not just Liftoff though as I've seen this lacking from all other apps I tried

Thanks for making a really awesome app!

Look at this post https://sh.itjust.works/post/5863836

It's just a regular image post, hosted on the instance server, but it displays as an external link, & you have to click through to view it.

Earlier, similarly formatted posts to the same community display as normal image posts.

The only difference is that the newer posts include an additional ?format=jpg parameter. I'm guessing this is throwing off the detection of an image post.

On relay for Reddit there was a function where I could use keywords like "Putin" and it would filter out all posts with that word in it's title.

I yearn to clean up my frontpage.

See title. I'm grateful to the app creators, but as I use this app on a daily basis it hurts that I have to switch to sync just to get a proper grasp on what people are replying to regarding my comments.

The normal option, when pushing on replies, doesn't go high enough on the context chain. The context option however goes too high, adds extra 'side' replies and I find myself searching for my initial comment again, which is a painful and avoidable task.

A rework would greatly be appreciated. F.e. it would help if the context option would focus on the new reply and let me decide how far I want to scroll upwards. Instead of just focussing on the top level comment.

Are there any plan for app lock built with app like in eternity app in near future.

At first I thought this was due to different instances but looking closer, it's the same post duplicated. I think this is the first time I've seen them together.

I've seen double posts before but they were separated in the timeline, so I put it down to instances.

Anyone else seen this?

From time to time this appears and I don't know how to clear it other than restarting the app. Clicking login does nothing. Is there any other way to clear??

It appears to be up on Web, but I can't seem to get it to load in at all on Liftoff, and I've been making sure to be on my Beehaw account.

I have cleared my cache and checked for updates. Is this just a me problem or a bigger problem?

Scenario: me killing time by doom scrolling lemmy. I see a post linking to a news article. The next 4 posts are the exact same post in the same community by the same user but on a different instance.

I understand the general mechanics behind lemmy so I know this is standard behavior. However, this can become quite tedious and annoying.

My suggestion: when the device pulls new posts if the same title, content, and user are detected, it combines them into one post. For comments, it creates a "root/parent comment" for each instance.

Up and down votes could be an issue though. My resolution to this would be when you press up/down vote a drop-down menu appears with "All" followed by all the different instances. I can think of lots of different mechanics for multi selections.

For the main feed, where the instance is normally stated, it states only the community followed by "multiple" or similar. When tapped, instead of taking you to that community on that instance, it has the equivalent of a help bubble pop up listing the instances so you could visit each one.

It would also be nice if something like this was possible for duplicate posts on the same instance across multiple communities.

Mine was sitting at 5GB. Hope we get auto cache emptying at some stage.

Is it possible to get an "All" button in the saved items section?

Searching for saved items across the same filter as your search is annoying and clunky. I'd like to be able to see all my saves across time in one place.

Hi. Would it be possible to introduce a type of search based on all Lemmy servers? Currently you can only select one server, searching all servers would be great.

Hi there! Can the hide NSFW toggle hide the posts themselves, not just the post contents. I'm afraid to browse All anywhere other than at home because the post titles explicit enough.

Thank you!

Just a RSS button that opens the feed of a particular community.

I've noticed a lot of request and bugs reported but they're seems to have been no activity on this for a month.

I know people work on these projects in their spare time etc and I'm not complaining, it just seems to have gone quiet.

The error message is: Null check operator used on a null value

It's far from a big deal, but I make a lot of posts and have noticed that the sorting when viewing my profile page feels off. I don't know if it's a Lemmy thing or a Liftoff thing though.

The comment reply box could use a little padding around it, and the text above containing what is being replied to needs some padding because it's near impossible to copy that first letter on a line.

Also a feature request: a button to add the text as a quote automatically.

This would pair with the existing setting to use the in-app browser. The user would have to have enabled it in their chrome flags as shown in the screenshot.

Hello, the issue is pretty much laid out in the title. I am trying to add my own lemmy instance to the instances in the app, so I can log in to my account.

It says it cannot find it, but I am not sure as to why it cannot find it, anyone here have any tips?

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: never mind, my MSP blocked my site for being unsafe

Is there a way to open external links in private mode by default?

I am on Android with Firefox, and there's no way to copy the links out of a post, so it opens in the "powered by Firefox" half browser thing, and id rather open every link in private mode, or have the option to long-press and copy.

Thanks.

Not sure if this is a bug per se, but on iOS if I am mid scrolled through a feed and I toggle to a different app, then back to liftoff, I am back at the top of the feed again.

This doesn’t seem to happen if I do the same thing while browsing a specific thread.

I noticed my phone running a bit warm todayx.so checked the battery usage and Liftoff seemed be a bit high. Clicking on Liftoff from this screen, it set for Optimized usage. I have v0.10.10 installed from Play store.
