It’s a good app, that’s for sure. Not really my style (I’m an iOS user and I prefer Memmy’s more ‘Apollo-like’ aesthetic) but the work being done here is fantastic!

Seriously, what a massive ‘win’ for the Fediverse; we’re practically drowning in great 3PAs, in the age where mobile is everything.

Personally I liked the everything feed with multiple accounts. No other android app provides such a feature.

Also I've been following the development of all lemmy apps and a lot of people seem to like memmy. Can't wait for the Android release

[–] Dark_Blade 2 points 1 year ago

Memmy doesn’t do that either, thankfully I just care about my one account lol

I switched over to Liftoff from Jebora a few days ago and am extremely happy. There are a few tweaks that I'm going to suggest over on their Github but it is amazing to see the effort and speed of development that they are putting in.

Thank you to the devs and maybe I'll get round to contributing to the code myself as well.

Come on in! Flutter is a blast and we love contributions!

Is there Play Store support for liftoff yet? Been looking for it.

[–] StringPotatoTheory 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes! It's here. I think since it's so new google doesn't display it anywhere near the top when you search for it.

[–] zachatrocity 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think it will show in search until it leaves early access

[–] StringPotatoTheory 2 points 1 year ago

I found it in search but it was at the very very bottom after 30+ different apps.

[–] Vulnicura 2 points 1 year ago

When searching for "Lemmy" I get Lemmotif for Lemmy as the top 3 app, and it is early access, so I don't think that's true.

Hahaha I love that the poop question is in the screenshots.

[–] DaCrazyJamez 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you!

Not OP but it's definitely a tough choice between Liftoff and Jerboa. They're both super well made.

[–] Sneckster 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thunder is looking good too but I much prefer the style of liftoff

[–] OmarDontScare 6 points 1 year ago

All great apps. I'm leaning more tot Thunder right now, especially since it run both on Android and iOS.

But... When Sync for Lemmy drops i might just start using that again because it's so polished!

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

No one has mentioned Connect or Summit yet

Also not OP, but Liftoff is currently in the top 2 for me with Connect for Lemmy

Love the app on ios, I wish I could change it from a long press to hide comment trees to a tap so then I could long press to select text though. Other than that it's brilliant.

I'd also like the buttons to be a darket shade of blue until pressed so once pressed it automatically turns lighter so you know you've pressed it while the action loads.

[–] zachatrocity 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tap to collapse has a PR open and will be in the next release

[–] aha20395 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do I see the PRs whatever they are?

[–] MothBookkeeper 3 points 1 year ago

There is a "make text selectable" option in the menu for the comment.

[–] kratoz29 3 points 1 year ago

I like it, but I also like Lemming a lot, it is alpha, as almost all of them, but it is the one that looks better to me.

[–] tartan 3 points 1 year ago

This is the third Lemmy app I’ve tried and so far it’s definitely my favourite. Great job!

[–] aha20395 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also a way to rehide nfsw content easily perhaps a a button to tap to just rehide it?

Edit if you just keep scrolling and scroll back it automatically redhides, really cool!

[–] nihilist_hippie 2 points 1 year ago

I'm trying out the app right now and I'm really liking it. Three cheers for the rise of Lemmy!
