- User and community link opening within the app is finicky #107
- Separate default comment sort from default post sort

Y’all are doing really great work, and so goddamned quickly too. Jerboa won’t even let me log in, much less navigate this easily.
I can easily see this becoming my new time sink once Boost dies in two days! Loving the app so far, very very impressive for such an early version. One thing I’d love to see (correct me if this is already possible) is having the refresh not only available at the top of the page. Having to scroll up for half a minute just to refresh is a bit tedious :D
Yes this is coming!
Much appreciated :)
Do we have any notification of getting replies yet?
Using oled dark if that makes a difference
Push notifications are on our to-do list
I meant a notification in app, like a number next to the bell or it just changing colour.
Oh yes we’re tracking an issue for that. It will be implemented
Lovely, thank you.
Would love to be able to jump to the top of the feed by hitting the home button too if that’s being planned.
You’re all doing a great job so far. I already feel that little bit of loyalty to liftoff.
Will you implement UnifiedPush?
Just installed the app via the playstore. I needed to use the website to be able to access it.
BTW, rating can’t be correct:
Content rating PEGI 18 • Extreme violenceI like how you can add multiple accounts and get an overview of all the subscribed channels in 1 view. Posting seems to be an issue yet, at least here with multiple acocunts. (probably pebkac issue, as it’s less then an hour on the device)
This I’m sure is due to the fact that people can upload nsfw posts, even though it can be moderated.
Would love support here if any one has experience with the play store in this area
I keep getting a message like this whenever I try to interact with or subscribe to a community outside of lemmy.world. I’m easily able to do this in other apps like Thunder. What do I need to do differently? “This thread was retrieved via lemmy.ml. You are not logged in there.”
Everyone says Liftoff is one of the best apps but I find it unusable as I can’t interact with any other federation.
If you’re using the everything view from the home feed then you’re going to get posts that you might not be federated with, an aggregate of any instances you’ve added to the app.
We’re working through tweaking this view and making it smarter to be able to support that interaction. Also I’m not sure thunder actually can do that because im thunder you’re seeing comments/posts that are “outside” of lemmy.world but you’re accessing them through lemmy.worlds federation.
Long story short if you want it to work like thunder, just use the Lemmy.world -> all feed on the home tab and you’ll still see those posts that are “outside” you’ll just be seeing them through Lemmy.worlds federation
Thanks for explaining that! For some reason this didn’t click for me.
Your app is awesome, many thanks. I’m missing only the possibility to change the main color, otherwise it has aöready everything I need.
Just installed it and loving it so far, it’s great that we’re getting options now.
Everyday it gets harder to pick a lemmy app to use that isn’t Jerboa. Lmfao. This is great! Atm im between this and Thunder.
I do have one issue i see wasn’t fixed, but i believe someone has mentioned it. Which is I cannot see content if i go directly to an NSFW sub. It acts like there isnt anything there, but i know I’m able to as I can see it in the everything feed and subscribed feed.
There’s a few bugs around NSFW, I hadn’t gotten to those yet but I will!
I didn’t see it on your list, but communities I have blocked are showing up on the frontpage when I have “all” selected.
Just installed the app and really like it so far. Keep up the great work!
I’d love to see the ability to hide read posts. I’m coming from baconreader and loved that feature.
Amazing app, are there plans to change the accent color from teal to something else? Also any chance we can get material you themes in the future?
Yes this is planned
Just installed it. Can’t wait to try it out 😁
Coming from Apollo (RIP and o7,) I love this app so far!
Love the app! One issue I’m having that is keeping me hopping back and forth between apps is download links don’t work for me in the integrated browser. Could you possibly add the option to open in external browser?
Yes that PR is open and this functionality will be in the next release
