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

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)!

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 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.

It's pretty nice, definitely prettier than jerboa. I still haven't found an app that will let me swipe between post comment sections like Joey (for reddit) could. Heck, even the official reddit app could do it, it's like the only feature it had that all of the 3rd party apps don't. Once I find an app that can do that, I'll probably stick with it

The interface is fast on an oldish Android tablet and I like the way images swipe up and away smoothly. But I couldn't vote or comment on non-local posts that I could do on Connect. Not sure if that was a config setting I missed though.

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.

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.

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.

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