I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa.

There are a few features that either don't exist or I haven't found (jump to next comments thread), but it's worked really well overall.

For context, I use Relay when I'm on Reddit

It's my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn't default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error..

I'm on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it's available.

Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn't like it's user interface. Was it recently updated?

The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it's a solid app! Love FOSS software

It immediately replaced connect for me. Absolutely incredible. I think I'll have to pick around for some actual feedback, but that's a damn good sign so early.

Love the layout, organization and it's immediately captured my entire Lemmy usage.

Coming from the Reddit is Fun app, I tried Jerboa first, thought it was fine, then tried Liftoff and it feels a lot better to me so far. But I'm still new to this universe, so I might try other apps and change my mind! Loving the diversity so far at least!

I tried about five different android apps and LiftOff was the one I picked. Looks the best, runs smooth, nice interface, fast with updates. Love it.

I prefer connect. It has a cleaner ui with less clutter imo

Liftoff is what I've settled on, so far. I've found it to have the best performance of all the Android options.

So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it's my favorite from the ones I've tried. I still wanna try boost out!

Liftoff feels like a love letter to Relay for Reddit. It's just missing a quick toggle to move thumbnails to the left or right in compact view.

Props for referencing the NoPoop meme in the settings too 🤣

I think it's much better now than it was. You can block a community without opening a post. The community and OP are listed at the top. All fonts seen to be customizable. My only current issue is the color around the cards - it's gray and if you're in dark mode it's not as obvious where one end and the next begins. I would like to see color options for that and/or color options for headings. I could switch from Jerboa if they add that.

I'm using it on Linux (Manjaro) I liked it that the dev brought it to Linux world.

I'd love options to disable the Tap to Hide feature, and have Make Text Selectable always on.

This is currently my daily driver. Awesome work!

I'm not a fan. It's laid out weird, like a Apple app or something. I just couldn't get used to it.

Connect and Jerboa are the two I'm trying to decide between now.

It's the only app I've tried so I know it's the best one.

The main issue I'm having with liftoff is that I cannot upvote or comment posts from other instances with my lemmy.ml account, so I'm still using jerboa

Is there no way to hide seen posts or did I just not find it yet?

It's one of the better ones so far.

It's my go-to for random lemmy browsing. If I want to read interesting and/or thoughtful stuff I log in to my home instance where I'm subscribed to all my favourite content, but if I feel like mindlessly scrolling some memes and go where the internet mainstream goes, I use liftoff. Good interface, good speed.

It'll be a little confusing to have both lift off and boost as rocket themed Lemmy apps, but I guess it can't be helped

I've tried a couple and Liftoff is my preferred app

I was going to say that I loved it, but right now it's no longer showing me posts on my subscribed account on lemmy.world.

So I'm currently on my backup app, voyager.

I'm using it for now. Jerboa seemed really jank at first, not sure if it's better now that lemmy.world's server was fixed. I'm mostly waiting for Boost though.

It’s ok. I got it on Android now.

LIftoff is fine, but I like Thunder better.

I'm not a fan of the bottom navigation. Needlessly takes up space.

CONNECT for me.

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 don't hate it by any means. But design wise I always end up back in Jerboa which (to me) seems more old-school and familiar.

I find it hard to put into words, and obviously it's completely subjective, but aps like Connect and Liftoff seem too "fluffy" to me, with UI elements being larger and in-your-face. Whereas Jerboa just kind of gets the heck out of my way.

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

Pretty much my only nitpick is that we have no "Commenting as:" and "Posting as:" warnings. It blurs the line between accounts a bit too much in a platform that already adds lots of complexity by splitting the communities and accounts between various servers. Beyond that, its search function is everything I could ask for and it looks great! I'm sure it'll only keep on getting better over time.

• The top menus are buttons and look weird and cheapen the experience.
• Voting can’t be done via swipe.
• You should be able to search all communities across all federated instances.
• You should be able to browse the full list of communities for a selected instance.
• The sorter for message replies doesn’t make sense. Why would I need to sort Active message replies?
• If I check a message reply as read, their doesn’t appear to be a way to see it again.

To be very honest, Memmy is currently my favorite and I have been testing them all pretty extensively.

I found it yesterday, and I like it so far.

Please post this kind of thing in our stickied thread - we get a lot of posts similar to this.

Liftoff for me has been fantastic... I was a RIF user...

I like the ability of the "everything" feed
