The interface is fast on an oldish Android tablet and I like the way images swipe up and away smoothly. But I couldn't vote or comment on non-local posts that I could do on Connect. Not sure if that was a config setting I missed though.

I'd love options to disable the Tap to Hide feature, and have Make Text Selectable always on.
This is currently my daily driver. Awesome work!
I've tried a couple and Liftoff is my preferred app
honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile
the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess
i also can't see new comments i post without reloading
idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn't delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???
i do think it's way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won't try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.

Liftoff feels like a love letter to Relay for Reddit. It's just missing a quick toggle to move thumbnails to the left or right in compact view.
Props for referencing the NoPoop meme in the settings too ๐คฃ
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.
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.
My only gripe is that there does not seem to be a "context" button as the website has when people reply to my comments. Other than that, seems pretty solid.
If you click chain button near comment in Inbox section then on mid of the screen will be button show context ๐
Mb. I thought that was the link button. Thank you stranger.
yup. Kinda confusing icon. Need improvement. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Oh mb. I thought was the "link" button.
Only thing I think I can find missing is to set a default download folder. Outside of that, it's now my daily driver.
I wanted to try liftoff but I could ever get logged in on Android. So I just used connect.
