Someone please add the option to block an entire instance.
I’m not sure how to submit GitHub issues, but there are a few things I want to note (I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro):
Sometimes when opening a post, after loading the entire comment screen is taken up by a blank gray screen. I can slide back out to the post/feed view, and after a few attempts re-enter the comment view and actually see comments. I haven’t seen other complaints about this, and don’t know what’s causing it.
When I use the built-in browser to view a link, there is no shortcut to back out to the comment view. Instead, I have to mash “back/up” enough to return to the view. A nice inclusion would be some sort of top bar or navigation bar to allow “leaving” the link and returning to my normal Liftoff view.
Thanks for everything!
Exact same problems as me. Also on a pixel 6.
Theming + support for more instances, this is gonna make Liftoff my go-to app. Thanks!
👍
Just downloaded it. So far, it’s the only one I’ve found that allows you to filter your subs by typing. Makes navigating subs much faster.
I like it so far!
boy, every time I think I’ve found the client that’s gonna be my go-to, I find another that impresses me. your app is absolutely on top of its game!
As much as I love swipe actions, I really really really love how easy it is to go back to a feed from a post in liftoff since actions aren’t tied to swiping. If you ever decide to change this, I hope you’ll leave an option in to revert it. (Pulse for squabbles also went the “anti-swipe” route and it’s been eye-opening to compare apps based on this feature alone)
Liftoff also handles instance navigation sooo well. The ability to see front pages for instances you aren’t a member of from inside an app is an awesome feature that no other app I’ve tried has offered (the only post I’ve made is requesting this exact thing…). Dunno if it’s intended to work this way but if you add an instance on the login form but just don’t login, it’ll still show up in the drop-down allowing you to view the local/all feeds for it.
Can’t wait to see what else you have planned! The newest update with themes isn’t even the version I have yet so excited about that.
Thanks so much!
Notifications??
I know on the top left there is the bell icon to look at notifications. It works nice but there is no change in how it looks if I have a new Notification. It would be great if it changed to the color when I have a new reply to one of my comments.
I love this app though. Very nice. Closest to RIF I have found. Thank you for everything
Best looking client for Lemmy right now. By far. Love the accent color chooser. Do you have any plans to implement Material You so that it’s automatic?
It’s being considered for a future release.
I just switched over from Connect. Looks great!
It’s the best app for lemmy imho, thanks for the good work!
I love that it’s the only one that allows me to select text like RIF, I wish there was a setting to make it selectable by default on long press!
I had been waiting for Boost for Lemmy to arrive but Liftoff is so nice I may be tempted to stay here long term.
Very impressive how far this app has come in a few updates. Seriously well done.
Just wanted to use my first comment on Lemmy to thank the devs of this app. Its simple, intuitive(mostly, learning new stuff is hard), and looks super clean. Watched RiF grow for over ten years, I’m excited tovsee where this goes.

Great work. My go-to app for now
