Not a developer, just pure interest as a user. Doing my part 🫡
My only gripe is that there does not seem to be a “context” button as the website has when people reply to my comments. Other than that, seems pretty solid.
If you click chain button near comment in Inbox section then on mid of the screen will be button show context 😉
Mb. I thought that was the link button. Thank you stranger.
yup. Kinda confusing icon. Need improvement. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh mb. I thought was the “link” button.
It was buggy and the “Subscribed” feeds weren’t showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it’s working well now.
I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I’ve tried.
So far I replaced eternity with it. Eternity kept crashing and the swipe sensitivity was horrible. I’m liking liftoff. Crossing fingers.
photon client in browser is way better in my opinion. maybe you should try it. official instance is phtn.app
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
Kinda same path. Jerboa -> Liftoff >< wefwef 😁
wefwef is called voyager now
Still wefwef 😁
:)
I like it, except… I can’t upvote or comment on anything. I’m signed in, as my comments/posts show up in my profile, but it tells me I’m not logged in when I try to comment. Any tips?
A quick bug is that Liftoff also only seems to show a selection of comments on my recent post. It says there are 8 comments, but Liftoff only shows 5 of them. Then I tried again and it showed 4 comments.
You should choose on the top of the feed page your instance, not default lemmy.world. To show every post you should change languages in Lemmy settings interface. Click cross near language setting and choose save in the bottom of the page.
Lemmy.world is my instance… Good tip on the language. I’ll check that out. I didn’t realize it filtered automatically.
👍🙂
I’m using Liftoff until Boost (formerly Boost for Reddit) releases their app. Boost was an amazing experience on Reddit so I have to imagine it’ll be equally good with Lemmy. So far Liftoff has been very good though. No real complaints but would love to see more customization options in the future.
I love it. Some things are a bit awkward ui wise but it’s smooth, fast and doesn’t heat up my oneplus one
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.
👍🙂
I like the minimalistic approach of Lerboa, but liftoff looks really solid. Totally see why it would appeal more to general masses, it’s beautiful!
Jerboa is good. But Liftoff is better feature wise 🙂
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.
Have you tried voyager (used to be wefwef) a lot of the stuff you want can be done in it. It is actually just a webapp or something not a google app or IOS equivalent, dont ask me to define the difference any more…
I have and it is slow as fuck to type in it, it is also somewhat slow/overburdened so things take a moment and that annoys me, while Liftoff is very very fast. I much prefer the normal UI to WefWef/Vger due to the speed issues. The UI is also too iphoney but that’s a trivial issue.
I think that might be a problem with your phone or browser. I’m typing this out in wefwef right now and there’s no difference between this and WhatsApp or any other app where I would type. Haven’t noticed any speed issues whatsoever and it feels pretty near to RIF overall for me.
u on android?
Yarp
Trying it out. It has improved massively. Doing very well rn. Will try to use this more. Sadly no auto-nsfw-unblur yet.
Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn’t like it’s user interface. Was it recently updated?
Same. It looks and feels like “my first flutter app”. I switched to Thunder, which is also made with flutter, but is much more pleasant to use.
I have no issues with it and I think the user experience is awesome
Awesome! ❤️
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.
Try Thunder. Jerboa like layout but made better.
Thunder is great, but it’s got some issues I hope they work out. I don’t like that you can’t block communities in thunder, or if you can its so convoluted that I haven’t figured it out yet. I also don’t like that it struggles to seamlessly refresh. You’ll be scrolling through the feed then two seconds later go through the exact same ten posts you just saw because it refresh glitched.
On the other hand I think their feed aesthetic is the nicest of the bunch, and they have my absolute favorite feature where you can tap to unblur NSFW and then re-tap to reblur it all without leaving the feed. That is SUCH a nice feature.
I’m using connect as my main ATM but I’ll def jump back to thunder if they can clean up some of the bugs!
Try the latest release! I saw in the changelogs recently that both of these have been addressed.
It’s 2nd best to wefwef.app. The only thing wefwef needs is a grey theme, then it would be perfect. Also it’s web based and no dedicated app. But the PWA app is quite good.
wefwef is really cool, such a polished experience 😲
The post above this on my timeline was about wefwef and that they just released the last version and will now be called voyager going forward. Just an FYI.
Oh. Yeah. Just. Yeah 😁
Just had the update with the name change to Voyager. Vger.app
We also need new icon. Old is not cool with such a good name 🙂
The icon colours have changed between the two, which is good enough as the current logo is fine.
It’s my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn’t default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error…
Yeah, I think you can change the default page in settings.
There are a few default instances in the settings page, and you can add your own as well.
You can remove the lemmy.world instance once you’ve added your own. Long press.
