Developer of Connect here. Congratulations on the launch and Liftoff looks great!
Thanks. I’d not heard of Connect before, but it’s so exciting to see so many other great apps under development. It will keep us all on our toes!
You are not stripping spaces at the end of login names in your app (sorry to ping you here but saw your reply and it reminded me to ask)
I couldn’t get logged in to connect, or liftoff, then noticed I had a space (From selecting the suggestion on my phone). Didn’t catch it until just now trying to login to liftoff. I’ve seen a couple complaints about getting logged into these apps. Wonder if I’m not alone with the extra space.
Seems like most reddit clients are named: “BlaBla for reddit”. It makes it easy to find clients for reddit. I wonder if this would also be beneficial for lemmy clients.
Yeah I agree. It would be easier to find. When I search for Liftoff, there is a bunch of games involving planes.
Hopefully soon on f-droid as well
This is a pretty nice app! I especially like that it shows me content from multiple Lemmy instances, without my home instance needing to federate with them!
I have some feedback, though: when I see content from lemmy.ml, the app should use my lemmy.world account to vote and comment, as if I were viewing that instance through lemmy.world. It really defeats the purpose of federation if I can’t use the same account, after all.
I second this, intensely! It’s very silly…
Is making an account on every instance a thing that should really be done?
Fundamentally, I think it doesn’t really matter. But as the first commenter said, the point of federation is that you only need 1 account on 1 federated instance to interact with everything. If the app doesn’t let you do that, it’s just defeating the point.
I love it so far, thanks for your hard work making the migration from Reddit easier.
One question, Im trying to send my friend a link to am article a post is looking to. The share button exports the lemmy link and not the actual article. If i click open in browser, it opens the federated instance hosting the article (kbin in this case) and not my browser, so i still have no way to copy the link right to the article. Any ideas.
Again, thank you
Was having trouble figuring out how to collapse comments… Finally stumbled on pressing and holding. Maybe this will help someone else using Liftoff.
We’re making it a simple tap in the next release so don’t get too set on the long press :-)
This is how I have it in boost, comment controls (vote, reply etc) hidden by default, simple tap to show/hide those controls, long tap to collapse comments.
Fdroid possibly wink wink
After downloading it and using all afternoon. Love it my only comment on the UX
- lines between cards on the dark amyloid theam.
Thats it. Otherwise it is pretty nifty.
I cannot comment on a lot of stuff i can with jerboa for some reason. It throws “you are not logged in there”
Last update (v0.0.36) broke lemmy.world log in due to LW stuck rn in Lemmy v0.17 (instance owner said it didn’t support 2FA yet, so he’ll wait for it being supported in future lemmy updates)
Excited to see more apps being developed for Lemmy.
The link works for me, but for some reason I can’t find it when I search for it in the Play Store? I tried “liftoff”, “liftoff!” and “liftoff Lemmy”…

Really nice, but I’m wondering about some choices
Why “everything” exists?
I thought All meant that, while Local meant your instance only and Subscribed is whatever you are subscribed to.
Also, this seems to lead to some issues interacting with other instances overall. I can’t subscribe to an instance while looking at everything, even tho it is federated to mine.
I can see why the devs did it this way Maybe organization and all? But is it not defeating the purpose of the Fediverse?
Now we wait for IOS approval….

i agree that it is better than “pretty good”.
it is so good that, short of a few UI tweaks, i cannot imagine a better user experience.
great job Liftoff devs!!
Scrolling is not smooth at all for me. Anyone else? Very jittery, low framerate. Pixel 7 pro.
Not a pixel but I notice this as well and seems to only happen when scrolling comments. Connect for lemmy was way worse about this and would get laggier until completely locking up. Infact none of the apps I’ve tried feel smooth when scrolling comments. Regardless…I think I like this app the best so far.
Hey I just discovered this Lemmy web app that’s so very good so far! Better than any app I’ve tried.
I “installed” it as a PWA on my device and it’s so good!
Signing in to first account only let me use email not username (lemmy.world) second account attempt to add (beehaw) produced an error. Android, Google pixel 6 pro. Didn’t really want to post here in your launch post but couldn’t find a place to enter bugs.
I think beehaw is having issues
Yeah beehaw was down
