Wow, ok! For anyone looking for a better Lemmy app, for both desktop and mobile, Liftoff seems to be a fantastic choice! Definitely already better than Jerboa is, despite some in-development quirks to be worked around temporarily.
If your “subscribed” feed is broken, set it to the subscribed feed for your instance, instead of “everything” and it should work as expected.
Check it out, it’s quite good looking!
Lift off defaulted to lemmy.world. i think letting the user choose default instance would help. I was confused at first because i don’t have a lrmmy.world account. Don’t make a default instance and just let user decide. Otherwise good looking app!
does look good. the more i get to use jebora, the more i honestly get annoyed with it. lots of rough edges. hope liftoff will be a worthy replacement
I just installed it via Obtainium. Works great so far. I love the pictures automatically being displayed.
Oh this is already so much better than Jerboa. Thanks for the heads up on this.
Oh thanks for sharing! Their is some default instances that i removed to keep only pawb.social but i like the idea to be able to follow multiple instance that way.
Is this a continuation of Lemmur? The Lemmur logo appears when the app loads, but the project is not marked as a fork of Lemmur and the readme makes no mention of Lemmur
Ah, good catch! Yeah, it definitely seems to be a fork of Lemmur, though given Lemmur is now read-only, and has been for a while, probably why it doesn’t say so. They probably should mention that though.
So far I’m loving liftoff! Has jerboa beat by a mile look and feel wise!
I’ve only poked around on it for 5 minutes but I like it so far. I found “Thunder” to be smoother to use than Jerboa but it was missing some core features. Maybe this one will have everything I need.
Edit: after playing around for a while I think this is the best option so far. Swiping images closed is very awkward because it has to be vertical, but otherwise I can’t find many nits to pick.
Hmm I can’t seem to login using it, I just get a spinning login button.
I had to use my email instead of username to login but then it worked for me.
Can’t say I liked it tbh 🤔
Button icons and positioning were generally more sensible though. That made a huge difference.
