Hey all!

Saw some chatter across the community and just wanted to give an update of where things are.

It’s been a busy summer with vacations, work and the craziness that comes along with it. I personally had 2 new additions to my family (twins!) and was on parental leave for a bit then figuring out the new work routine with the additional kiddos!

All that being said things are starting to stabilize for me and I’m getting back into the swing of Liftoff development. I have a laundry list of items I plan to tackle during the long weekend in the US:

  • Move through the backlog of open PRs and get those merged
  • Look into the unwarranted post view refresh that I’ve seen reported
  • Triage the GitHub issues list
  • Sluggish FPS

Additionally we’re actively discussing larger user experiences that we’re thinking about changing, specifically multi instance and cross instance account handling. You can track that discussion and please contribute your thoughts here:

https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/251

Thanks for using the app, and thanks for being an active community. Excited for what’s to come!

As always please join us on matrix!

    Welcome back and congratulations

    Great to have you back. This is the only Lemmy app that handles multiple instances in a way I like, and I was getting concerned it would be abandoned.

    Regarding the multi-instance stuff, is it possible to add a way to view the logged-in version of the local feed and/or the community list for an instance you don’t have an account on, provided you do have an account on another federated instance?

    That’s a mouthful, so let me explain: I have a account on instance A which is federated with instance B. Instance B has community X which is public and community Y which is only visible to logged in users. Provided someone from my instance has interacted with them, both X and Y are searchable from A and appear in all. Now the “issue”: if I go to B’s local, I will only see posts from X since I’m not logged in to B despite Y being visible from A’s all. Likewise, if I view B’s community list I will only see X. Since I have access to Y via A, and can interact freely with it, I should be able to see it when browsing B.

    This doesn’t seem to be possible from the web app ether so it might be a Lemmy limitation.

    Congratulations on the twins.

    Liftoff has been great. No complaints from me.

    You’re gonna need quite a bit of time off with those twins…

      Damn, I really like liftoff and it is still working well without anyone maintaining it for the last 6+ months but it seems dead. I guess it’s time to find a new app.
