Someone please add the option to block an entire instance.
I’m not sure how to submit GitHub issues, but there are a few things I want to note (I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro):
Sometimes when opening a post, after loading the entire comment screen is taken up by a blank gray screen. I can slide back out to the post/feed view, and after a few attempts re-enter the comment view and actually see comments. I haven’t seen other complaints about this, and don’t know what’s causing it.
When I use the built-in browser to view a link, there is no shortcut to back out to the comment view. Instead, I have to mash “back/up” enough to return to the view. A nice inclusion would be some sort of top bar or navigation bar to allow “leaving” the link and returning to my normal Liftoff view.
Thanks for everything!
Exact same problems as me. Also on a pixel 6.
Theming + support for more instances, this is gonna make Liftoff my go-to app. Thanks!
👍
Just downloaded it. So far, it’s the only one I’ve found that allows you to filter your subs by typing. Makes navigating subs much faster.
I like it so far!
Great work. My go-to app for now
Adding a translation option is a great quality of life feature! Thanks a lot to all the team who supports the development!
Notifications??
I know on the top left there is the bell icon to look at notifications. It works nice but there is no change in how it looks if I have a new Notification. It would be great if it changed to the color when I have a new reply to one of my comments.
I love this app though. Very nice. Closest to RIF I have found. Thank you for everything
Best looking client for Lemmy right now. By far. Love the accent color chooser. Do you have any plans to implement Material You so that it’s automatic?
It’s being considered for a future release.
What is the test flight link?
Apologies, links now restored.
Wondering this as well
Apologies, links now restored.
Thanks!
I just switched over from Connect. Looks great!
Removed by mod
👍
Loving the primary colour option! The default was the only thing I wasn’t keen on in the app, and now I can jazz it up as I see fit. Awesome! Keep up the fine work 😎
Just wanted to use my first comment on Lemmy to thank the devs of this app. Its simple, intuitive(mostly, learning new stuff is hard), and looks super clean. Watched RiF grow for over ten years, I’m excited tovsee where this goes.
I had been waiting for Boost for Lemmy to arrive but Liftoff is so nice I may be tempted to stay here long term.
