I’m really liking the Liftoff app for Lemmy. I just discovered that I can increase the indent so comment replies are easy to read.

      I kind of wish this could be a built-in function of Lemmy. That would make sharing multi-communities across instances a lot easier, too.

    I like liftoff too, but the notifications screen won’t show me which post people are replying to, so ot gets confusing.

    Is there a way to fix this?

    I’m going back and forth between it and Connect. Connect looks prettier imo, but Liftoff feels slightly more functional.

      Personally the thing that decided between the two for me was Liftoff being open source (Connect is not, afaik?)

      I’m in the same boat. I think I’m enjoying the experience of connect more and have been using it more lately.

    I discovered it through a suggestion today and I must say I like it so far.

    I come from Relay for reddit and miss just a few things to feel at home. If I could have a color change for post I read and a button to hide all posts I interacted with so I can skip them faster upon refresh or reload.

    But overall it’s fast responsive and clean.

    The only bug ai get is with upvotes not registering on fist tap sometimes.

      My missed relay feature is reading an article or looking at a pic and being able to pull up comments from the article or picture screen.

        Yes I found myself trying to swipe up to get the comments showing on a weblink view a couple times.

    Its ability to search for communities and subscribe to communities outside your instance is wonderful. I don’t know if other apps are already doing that as well, but it certainly helps and makes it easier for newcomers.

    Just installed it myself. I very much like the customisation features with live preview. Very nice. Had been using connect, which I still think is very good, but I might try liftoff for a while.

    I was using Lift Off but I think it expired, and now I’m not sure how to add it again to Test Flight.

    Can anyone dumb it down for me? Where is the link to open it in Test Flight? I’d love to see where the app is at now.

      You likely won’t be able to. Most Lemmy apps are currently incompatible with Kbin, because Kbin is technically not Lemmy; it’s its own thing, which happens to be largely compatible with Lemmy. Because of that, it doesn’t work exactly the same, and requires special development to function in apps.

      Kbin also doesn’t have an API yet. Artemis, a Kbin app currently in development, is having to use a data scraping method at the moment due to the lack of an API, though that will be corrected once an API is available.

      I’m using Memmy and it’s great so far. Now I’m kind of wondering how to get a more diverse feed

        Same. I like Memmy but the search function isn’t very good. Although this could be user error!

          I’m trying it now and it’s not finding the first community I tried to add. If I open a lemmy link in the app, it should open in Memmy. Not sure how to add a community outside of search but there’s probably a way. Looking for the user experience to get better. I’d suck 1000 ducks before I’d use the official reddit app (and I don’t like sucking ducks)
