Liftoff app (lemmy.goblackcat.com)

I'm really liking the Liftoff app for Lemmy. I just discovered that I can increase the indent so comment replies are easy to read.

I like liftoff too, but the notifications screen won't show me which post people are replying to, so ot gets confusing.

Is there a way to fix this?

[-] itsAsin@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

hit the 'link' button, and then the 'context' button.

[-] CaspianXI@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thanks!

[-] packetloss@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is also my only gripe with it.

Would be nice to see which post they're replying to, and a quick way to get to the post.

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I discovered it through a suggestion today and I must say I like it so far.

I come from Relay for reddit and miss just a few things to feel at home. If I could have a color change for post I read and a button to hide all posts I interacted with so I can skip them faster upon refresh or reload.

But overall it's fast responsive and clean.

The only bug ai get is with upvotes not registering on fist tap sometimes.

My missed relay feature is reading an article or looking at a pic and being able to pull up comments from the article or picture screen.

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yes I found myself trying to swipe up to get the comments showing on a weblink view a couple times.

[-] TesterJ@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm going back and forth between it and Connect. Connect looks prettier imo, but Liftoff feels slightly more functional.

[-] ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Personally the thing that decided between the two for me was Liftoff being open source (Connect is not, afaik?)

[-] rescue_toaster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm in the same boat. I think I'm enjoying the experience of connect more and have been using it more lately.

[-] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Its ability to search for communities and subscribe to communities outside your instance is wonderful. I don't know if other apps are already doing that as well, but it certainly helps and makes it easier for newcomers.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

Whoa what? That must be newly added. I want to adjust that myself.

Yep! It's a great feature for folks like myself with visual spatial impairments.

[-] Polo421@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Or like me, old and gone to shit near sight.

[-] _kern_@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

That's a really cool feature. Just tried it and it makes it so much easier to see

[-] 5ilver5urfer@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Has it been released for iOS or still beta?

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The version currently on TestFlight is production ready, we’re just getting to grips with AppStore processes right now.

[-] time_example@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

How does it compare to Memmy?

[-] rustic_tiddles@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using Memmy and it's great so far. Now I'm kind of wondering how to get a more diverse feed

[-] time_example@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Same. I like Memmy but the search function isn’t very good. Although this could be user error!

[-] rustic_tiddles@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm trying it now and it's not finding the first community I tried to add. If I open a lemmy link in the app, it should open in Memmy. Not sure how to add a community outside of search but there's probably a way. Looking for the user experience to get better. I'd suck 1000 ducks before I'd use the official reddit app (and I don't like sucking ducks)

[-] Starayo@saldemi.casa 2 points 1 year ago

Just installed it myself. I very much like the customisation features with live preview. Very nice. Had been using connect, which I still think is very good, but I might try liftoff for a while.

[-] Breno@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Where's this indent feature? I can only see font size settings in appearance

[-] jaschen@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I wish I knew how to add kbin.social as an instance.

[-] alienamp@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I was using Lift Off but I think it expired, and now I’m not sure how to add it again to Test Flight.

Can anyone dumb it down for me? Where is the link to open it in Test Flight? I’d love to see where the app is at now.

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There’s always a pinned post on https://lemmy.world/c/liftoff with the latest instructions.

But you just need to go to https://testflight.apple.com/join/jKENkGjX to get your hands on 0.10.7. Enjoy all the new features!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !liftoff@lemmy.world

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Good bot. It's nice to see a useful one. I wonder if it could be improved to extract the link and reply with the fixed version (similar to the Reddit bot that makes links easier to click for mobile users).

[-] alienamp@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much friend!

Giving it a run now.
