it seems pretty nice so far, though there isnt ios version right now

edit: it seems like the maintainer renamed it to liftoff, and also the link is to an outdated version

You are linking to an old version. There's a new version v0.9.8 and was renamed to Liftoff.

Also, as a suggestion just link to the releases page and the latest will be on top.

https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/releases

Liftoff as a name is so confusing because thats the name of one of the most popular FPV drone simulators. How do you even find this app on a regular web search?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Presumably the same way you find other apps that don't have the name of the protocol in the name? "Lemmy liftoff" and it's the first result for me.

You could say that Lemmy is a confusing name becausse it's the name of a very famous singer.

It's broken for some reason

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yep - the latest release supports both 0.18.x and 0.17.x. I've been running it for the past few releases over the last couple of days and I really like it.

BTW, it's been rebranded as Liftoff.

Omg someone actually named an App lemmynade, I suggested that name three days ago. This is really cool!

[โ€“] Anti_Weeb_Penguin 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They just changed it to Liftoff

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Boo. Lemmynade was a better name.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, only mlem and Memmy apps so far as I am using iOS.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Never heard of it thanks for sharing. The app section of the join lemmy website should have get some push requests to include all the current apps.

It is awesome app. Way better for me than Jerboa as of now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

100% - this is what i use now.

Jerboa completely broke for me when i added izzy's repo in fdroid and updated. Didn't looked up if my homeinstance is on 0.18 already (they are not...) now i can't access them and no matter what i do, Jerboa crashes for me when i install older versions.

This is a beautiful app!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you for this as I needed something to use on linux

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah giving me the logged in error too

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Tho strangely as it says it it's letting me post

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thanks for sharing! I like it so far, though I logged in but it was still saying I need to login before upvoting and commenting

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I am getting the same thing on certain instances, others, like this one, no issues

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im upvoted and replied to you from the app, so it does work. And it is looking real nice

This app looks one to one with the newly revived Lemmur app.

Isn't it just a fork?

Edit: I was right. Looks like two people are working on the same app in different directions.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Looks great, but it apparently strictly requires the new lemmy version, as my home instance shows no posts in liftoff. Will keep it for now and try it again when my instance updates

[โ€“] AdmiralAckbar 1 points 1 year ago

Just downloaded and I really like it so far. Seems to handle displaying various types of content in the "card" style feed than Jerboa and Connect imo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty cool Ty for this suggestion

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never heard of this app! Can't even find it on f-droid as of now!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not on F-Droid yet, it's too new. A fork of the abandoned Lemmur

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Why does it say Mlem is taken off TestFlight, it just got an update
