Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don't get too attached to it ๐ข
Is the project actually dead or is this an assumption based on lack of recent updates? I'm using liftoff and have been wondering about its future.
A couple of people have tried to get in touch with the dev to no avail. It's already broken for users on the couple of servers that are using 0.19 so only a matter of time for the rest of us, it seems.
Thanks for the reply. Sucks to hear it since it's been the best app for me so far. Any app recommendations for a replacement?
Moved from Liftoff to Thunder, it's been great
Used Thunder a while back. I'll check in on it again sometime.
There's a thread in [email protected] where people are recommending their fave replacement but tbh pretty much every app gets at least one mention, which one is best probably depends on your priorities!
None of them really meet all my needs (neither did Liftoff, I had to combine it with Summit), so I'm trying to help out by testing [email protected] in the hopes that it could become my holy grail.
What are your needs?
Generally I prefer more features over slick looks which I think is where a lot of people go the other way. Probably depends if you post a lot or are more of a scroller. I currently have 11 apps installed so will just keep testing them all out until one wins, lol.
I'll be checking that out thanks.
Personally I enjoy Jerboa
Tried Jerboa again recently. Didn't love it but I'll probably check it out again at some point.
It's definitely a bit rough around the edges but personally I like it more than most of the others I've tried
It's developed by the main Lemmy dev as far as I understand. Closest thing to an 'official' app we've got. But other apps just suit me better ATM. I'm still testing different apps now and then since the apps are still rapidly being developed and dying out. Settled on Liftoff initially, but I remember liking Thunder and so far Raccoon is looking promising.
I do want to branch out again trying other apps as Jerboa (while nice) I feel is lacking a bit
It's functional enough but kinda meh
I like the UI though
Yeah it seems a little spartan. But, it's probably going to be the most up-to-date whenever there is an update to Lemmy itself since it's the same dev.
Voyager works pretty well for me.
I use that as a secondary client from time to time. It's very good as well.
I don't think there's been any confirmation but with a breaking update looming it's not looking promising.
