I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.

Would be nice if there was an option in the settings to turn on the ability to see upvote and downvote counts for every post and comment. It's pretty much the only reason I keep going back to Jerboa. I really like being able to see the amount of downvotes something might've gotten.

I tried it for a while, but ended up yp with Jerboa. I'm not a fan of how it makes you choose which instance to search and view from rather than just contextually basing everything off of what instance you're signed into.

I'm okay with it. Performs well, no bloat, does what I need.

Definitely my favourite one so far! Though I will still be experimenting with newer ones when they come out.

A couple features I'd like to see implemented:

  • Setting a base instance/account and having links open through that instance. I understand this will put increased pressure on the base instance but from a user perspective this is a massive qol update.
  • Finding a way to upload videos or converting small videos to gifs before uploading without having to go into a third party source or implementing third party connectivity for this purpose. This is probably out of scope for what the app is trying to achieve, but would be a great addition for content creation on Lemmy in general.

I tried it, but the "compact" view is wayyyyy too sparse. I have a phone the size of the moon, I should be able to view more than 3 and a half single-line posts on screen

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed. It will be fixed in the next updates.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's become my default app for Lemmy.

I am still waiting to try Boost, though.

Does it / will it have mod tools available? The only way I've found so far to access the mod inbox, pin threads etc is through the Lemmy website

Its decent but I would like an option to hide the bottom navigation bar

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

In the future releases it will autohide while scrolling.

I'm getting to like it a lot.

I tried Liftoff, ran into some login issues, and some other minor annoyances and switched to Connect. So far I'm liking connect

I'm liking it. Only thing missing for me I think is aligning images on the left instead of the right.

  • The top menus are buttons and look weird and cheapen the experience.
  • Voting can’t be done via swipe.
  • You should be able to search all communities across all federated instances.
  • You should be able to browse the full list of communities for a selected instance.
  • The sorter for message replies doesn’t make sense. Why would I need to sort Active message replies?
  • If I check a message reply as read, their doesn’t appear to be a way to see it again.

To be very honest, Memmy is currently my favorite and I have been testing them all pretty extensively.

I seem to be using WefWef (just renamed "Voyager") and Liftoff the most.

A big fan of Sync, tho, so we'll see where we end up when that arrives.

I'd like the ability to open links with my browser of choice instead of the default in-app browser.

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It is already in Liftoff 0.10.7. General settings section.
