Please, all I want is a microSD slot and a headphone jack. Who was asking for an Instagram camera lockscreen shortcut?

Oh that's interesting. I thought it would be through the app, since the article mentioned being patched in browsers; so that's definitely good to know.

I recently saw an article (https://stackdiary.com/heap-buffer-overflow-in-libwebp-cve-2023-5129/) that said WEBP images could be a huge security hole right now and I know Lemmy uses a lot of WEBP images.

I'm not sure how long this has been known, so maybe the Liftoff devs already took care of it. Does anyone know if Liftoff has already made the necessary patches?

I just installed the app and so far it's working pretty well, though if I'm being honest, I am definitely a little concerned by all the baked-in tracking.

In terms of features I'd be interested in seeing there are three that come to mind:

  1. Community icons in compact/ dense views. While Lemmy is still in its infancy, I have to browse c/All most of the time and being able to visually see the community the post is coming for is definitely helpful for browsing.
  2. Multiple accounts in one feed. In my opinion, this is one thing that Lift-off has over every different Lemmy app. With so many instances with varying levels of federation, I find being able to browse all my accounts at once to be a very convenient feature.
  3. Being able to download to an SD card. I know SD cards are a dying breed, so this is probably low priority for you, but as someone with very low internal storage; but a very large SD card, it's always a welcome feature when I can find it.

Overall I would say this app already shows a significant amount of polish. Hopefully the development can continue even further.

I'm not super techy, but I think the app has to say somewhere what links it can open itself. I know Jerboa can be used to open Lemmy links; but it seems to be the only Android app that can, for some reason.

It's incredibly difficult to get the non-mobile-approved extensions added to Firefox. I remember it took me a couple of hours to get it configured and I had to change my browser to the nightly version, which I did not want to do for stability reasons.

It was even more difficult to install "unsupported" browser extensions. I had to install a very old version of Fennec F-Droid, install the extension, then update to the most current version of Fennec to keep the extension. Through trial and error across several different Firefox versions, I probably wasted 3 hours getting it set up on my phone.

If you are not motivated and tech savvy (ish), the chances of getting a non-supported extension on Firefox are quite slim.
