LIFTOFF AVAILABLE ON THE PLAY STORE

Hopefully soon on f-droid as well
Developer of Connect here. Congratulations on the launch and Liftoff looks great!
You are not stripping spaces at the end of login names in your app (sorry to ping you here but saw your reply and it reminded me to ask)
I couldn't get logged in to connect, or liftoff, then noticed I had a space (From selecting the suggestion on my phone). Didn't catch it until just now trying to login to liftoff. I've seen a couple complaints about getting logged into these apps. Wonder if I'm not alone with the extra space.
Thanks. Iād not heard of Connect before, but itās so exciting to see so many other great apps under development. It will keep us all on our toes!
Thanks for Connect! It's great to have multiple options.
Was having trouble figuring out how to collapse comments... Finally stumbled on pressing and holding. Maybe this will help someone else using Liftoff.
We're making it a simple tap in the next release so don't get too set on the long press :-)
Great! Was driving me nuts š . Awesome work, loving the app so far.
Any chance you can add swiping to hide posts once you've read them?
It's so handy to be able to refresh or come back later in the day and see totally new posts.
Thanks!
Weāve got an issue logged for this. We need to do some thinking first though :-)
This is how I have it in boost, comment controls (vote, reply etc) hidden by default, simple tap to show/hide those controls, long tap to collapse comments.
Thatās an interesting combination, thanks for mentioning it.
It did, and thank you!!
After downloading it and using all afternoon. Love it my only comment on the UX
Thats it. Otherwise it is pretty nifty.
I cannot comment on a lot of stuff i can with jerboa for some reason. It throws "you are not logged in there"
Last update (v0.0.36) broke lemmy.world log in due to LW stuck rn in Lemmy v0.17 (instance owner said it didn't support 2FA yet, so he'll wait for it being supported in future lemmy updates)
Fdroid possibly wink wink
In progress:

The link works for me, but for some reason I can't find it when I search for it in the Play Store? I tried "liftoff", "liftoff!" and "liftoff Lemmy"...
Having the same issue.
I installed it via the link in the top, couldn't find it in the play store either.
Yeah, I had the same issue. I ended up having to open the link from the Jerboa app, which takes you directly to the store page on the Play Store app.
I couldn't ether, it might have something to do with it being early access and/or just realised.
I love that the screenshots are of the poop post
This is a pretty nice app! I especially like that it shows me content from multiple Lemmy instances, without my home instance needing to federate with them!
I have some feedback, though: when I see content from lemmy.ml, the app should use my lemmy.world account to vote and comment, as if I were viewing that instance through lemmy.world. It really defeats the purpose of federation if I can't use the same account, after all.
I second this, intensely! It's very silly...
Is making an account on every instance a thing that should really be done?
Fundamentally, I think it doesn't really matter. But as the first commenter said, the point of federation is that you only need 1 account on 1 federated instance to interact with everything. If the app doesn't let you do that, it's just defeating the point.
I've got it installed via github but it doesn't show up in the search in the playstore for me
The app looks great but I am finding that I am unable to participate in discussions on instances that I am not logged in on. Am I doing something wrong?
Check the feed dropdown at the top of the page. If you're using [email protected] you should be able to interact with everything you see. Using the everything feed or any other instance feed may well show you stuff you can't interact with.
That helps! Also I was clicking on the community/poster name to respond instead of clicking on the comment section at the bottom of the card.
Oh, thanks for mentioning that. Itās really helpful to understand what different usersā expectation are in the app.
i have also experienced this and, being that i am still very new to lemmy, this has caused me to register accounts on a total of 3 instances.
in fact, i am still quite unclear about what the expectation for normal functionality should be. āā
LOVE LOVE loving the UI
Signing in to first account only let me use email not username (lemmy.world) second account attempt to add (beehaw) produced an error. Android, Google pixel 6 pro. Didn't really want to post here in your launch post but couldn't find a place to enter bugs.
I think beehaw is having issues
Really nice, but I'm wondering about some choices
Why "everything" exists?
I thought All meant that, while Local meant your instance only and Subscribed is whatever you are subscribed to.
Also, this seems to lead to some issues interacting with other instances overall. I can't subscribe to an instance while looking at everything, even tho it is federated to mine.
I can see why the devs did it this way Maybe organization and all? But is it not defeating the purpose of the Fediverse?
What about Fdroid?
WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!!
Got to get that low hanging fruit.
Yeah I'm having the same issue. I can't subscribe to communities on other instances
You can actually edit your comment ( and post) in any moment by clicking the 3 dot menu
i agree that it is better than "pretty good".
it is so good that, short of a few UI tweaks, i cannot imagine a better user experience.
great job Liftoff devs!!
This is already miles ahead of the official Reddit app in terms of enjoyability
Might want to have the app autoselect some form of instance/community. I watched the loading circle for a minute before I started clicking around and selected communities to see it did in fact work.
Now we wait for IOS approvalā¦.
Congratulations!!
Scrolling is not smooth at all for me. Anyone else? Very jittery, low framerate. Pixel 7 pro.
Not a pixel but I notice this as well and seems to only happen when scrolling comments. Connect for lemmy was way worse about this and would get laggier until completely locking up. Infact none of the apps I've tried feel smooth when scrolling comments. Regardless...I think I like this app the best so far.
Hey I just discovered this Lemmy web app that's so very good so far! Better than any app I've tried.
Wefwef.app
I "installed" it as a PWA on my device and it's so good!
Itās being fixed:
https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/pull/147
Awesome thanks for the link
Good job, the more apps the better!
Excited to see more apps being developed for Lemmy.
Ohh now we're talking. Have tried some of the different apps avalible for Android but this one feels like it, really like the ui. It crash for me when I try to read posts with alot of comments (yes I'm really trying to read that poop-post) Using a old phone with a older os so very likely that's why it's not working. Anyone experiencing the same? Or is really time for me to get a new phone?
Just downloaded to check it out!
Ahhh, smooth scrolling! NGL that is the only thing that was pushing me away from jebora!
Ong it's the most annoying bug, well that was until it stopped allowing me to switch to all >:(
"Html string could not ne resolved"
This App is very well done! Significant improvement over Jerboa, great work and thank you!
What improvements have you seen so far?
Arg no kbin support? Does anyone know an app for kbin?
i receive content from kbin.social in my Liftoff feed. it is federated thru lemmy.ml and when i try to open the kbin instance directly, the app displays the kbin page code.
so, somehow somewhere the kbin data is being parsed correctly, but Liftoff itself is not able to perform the task.
My understanding is that the kbin API is still not public, so it's tricky to develop an app for it (though there are some in development).
I'm sure once it goes public, we'll see generalized compatibility among most of the Lemmy apps.
They're under development but not released yet.
Don't think we have any yet, but they are on the way.
In the meantime the kbin mobile site works well as a PWA.
With some scripts from https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles it's even better.
Just grabbed it. Loving it so far. Good job devs!
My favorite of the options I've tried so far, only request currently is to be able to remove the bottom bar when scrolling down the feed.
The idea of having multiple accounts on multiple instances ALL streamed into ONE Ć¼berfeed is awesome! Thank you!
Nice work, we always need great little apps to help people get invested. Looks nice
Cool! Iāll have to check it out.
Loving this app! Very intuitive and user friendly.
Really liking it so far, although smoother than others I very tried
Viewing this on thunder lol
Using it right now to post this! I like it!
Oh š± I love the UI. Hope to have kbin support at some point so I can really try it. Awesome job!
I downloaded it in morning but unable to login and search.
If you're selecting a suggestion from your keyboard of your username, see if it's putting in a space. Just realized this is happening to me. I couldn't get logged into connect the other day so I uninstalled it. Just tried again and saw the space added. Removed and got signed in
So far, I like this app best. Congrats!
Nice app! Feed view is not compact enough, though. I like the preview pane for settings, but it's not useful if I can't get my desired results.
Just tried it and it seems very well done
for me it says 'this item isn't available'
Try fdroid or git, https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/releases
Moved here after the latest official App update, I like it!
It seems that it can't find my instance when I try and log in (lemmy.sdf.org)
I can't either. Glad it's not just me
I set the Aurora store to automatically open play store links, but it came up with an error 'can't fetch content'
Nice app and working very well. Thank you!
Open a post in one of the logged in accounts would be a great feature!
Just discovered this app after Jerboah kept crashing. Very glad I did. Great experience.
Loving it on my iPhone 12, canāt wait for official release!
Really nice app
Will mod options come in the future?
Weāve got a few issues open for mod functionality.
Ok, so Lift Off vs Connect?
Which is better and why?
Installed this, liking it so far. Gotta get used to this UI over Jerboa's.
Edit- I can only browse communities within the three default instances added. Will I have to added each instance if I want to join any communities within them ?
