As a reader it's vastly better than Jeroba but the notifications are hidden in a very awkward way and I haven't seen access to the mod tools yet or figured out how to search for new communities.
Just installed it like 10 minutes ago. For an early access app, it's not too bad, easy to get around.
Keep improving and keep it up
Also, thanks
Best app for my taste, similar to Infinity for Reddit.
I wish there was infinity for lemmy :(
Please post this kind of thing in our stickied thread - we get a lot of posts similar to this.
I don't hate it by any means. But design wise I always end up back in Jerboa which (to me) seems more old-school and familiar.
I find it hard to put into words, and obviously it's completely subjective, but aps like Connect and Liftoff seem too "fluffy" to me, with UI elements being larger and in-your-face. Whereas Jerboa just kind of gets the heck out of my way.
I also prefer UI Jerboa concept to concept Liftoff. It is just better.
I'm using it right now. I'm torn between it and Thunder. They've both made lots of improvements in the last couple weeks.
I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.
I tend to switch back and forth from Thunder to Liftoff and back. I like the layout and gestures of Thunder but Liftoff allows me to share memes directly from the app. That's a surprisingly rare feature.
Does it / will it have mod tools available? The only way I've found so far to access the mod inbox, pin threads etc is through the Lemmy website
It's become my default app for Lemmy.
I am still waiting to try Boost, though.
Its decent but I would like an option to hide the bottom navigation bar
I tried it for a while, but ended up yp with Jerboa. I'm not a fan of how it makes you choose which instance to search and view from rather than just contextually basing everything off of what instance you're signed into.
I keep bouncing between this one and Jerboa. I like Liftoff a little more, as it's easier to handle multiple instances and accounts, but I wish that it had mod tools so I wouldn't have to go my communities in the browser or PC to do anything mod related.
Definitely my favourite one so far! Though I will still be experimenting with newer ones when they come out.
A couple features I'd like to see implemented:
- Setting a base instance/account and having links open through that instance. I understand this will put increased pressure on the base instance but from a user perspective this is a massive qol update.
- Finding a way to upload videos or converting small videos to gifs before uploading without having to go into a third party source or implementing third party connectivity for this purpose. This is probably out of scope for what the app is trying to achieve, but would be a great addition for content creation on Lemmy in general.
I tried Liftoff, ran into some login issues, and some other minor annoyances and switched to Connect. So far I'm liking connect
- The top menus are buttons and look weird and cheapen the experience.
- Voting can’t be done via swipe.
- You should be able to search all communities across all federated instances.
- You should be able to browse the full list of communities for a selected instance.
- The sorter for message replies doesn’t make sense. Why would I need to sort Active message replies?
- If I check a message reply as read, their doesn’t appear to be a way to see it again.
To be very honest, Memmy is currently my favorite and I have been testing them all pretty extensively.
I seem to be using WefWef (just renamed "Voyager") and Liftoff the most.
A big fan of Sync, tho, so we'll see where we end up when that arrives.
I'm liking it. Only thing missing for me I think is aligning images on the left instead of the right.
This is awesome work. I wish posts had a thumbnail on the left or right to give you a snippet of the topic similar to the RIF app. I'd not then it mainly feels like a lot of words and read which is not horrible but the experience is slightly lessened and cluttered.
I'd like the ability to open links with my browser of choice instead of the default in-app browser.
