I liked it so much that now I'm using it on my Linux install.

We need flatpak for it πŸ™‚

I couldn't get it installed. It kept telling me "app not purchased", but only gives me an option to install. It looks promising, though.

I'm okay with it. Performs well, no bloat, does what I need.

kinda same feeling. it is pretty functional.

It’s not bad, but the β€œcompact” view is in no way compact. On liftoff on iOS I can see maybe 4 posts versus on Memmy I can see almost double that. The thumbnails need to be in line with the title and content, not just the content.

Try the compact view of the thunder app

I tried it, but the "compact" view is wayyyyy too sparse. I have a phone the size of the moon, I should be able to view more than 3 and a half single-line posts on screen

I'm liking it. Only thing missing for me I think is aligning images on the left instead of the right.

Submit issue on their GitHub. Don't worry, developers are friendly ❀️

I have been using it extensively including on Desktop. Overall I am super happy I have a cross platform Lemmy app across different platforms from desktop to mobile.

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.

honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile

the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess

i also can't see new comments i post without reloading

idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn't delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???

i do think it's way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won't try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.

I like it. My only criticism so far is that I use Dex pretty frequently and it is not very usable through Dex.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Such a niche use case πŸ™‚

I’m a Mlem guy myself. I like a well designed and native (Swift on Apple platforms) UI. I’ve been absolutely loving it! I can’t say I used Liftoff for very long when I was testing as I ruled it out due to its non native UI relativity quickly haha. But as far as apps go, it looked alright. Just not for me. It sounds like there are many out there loving it (Liftoff)!
