  • User and community link opening within the app is finicky #107

    Y’all are doing really great work, and so goddamned quickly too. Jerboa won’t even let me log in, much less navigate this easily.

    I was eager to try out Liftoff but unfortunately I can’t seem to log in on it :/

    I noticed my password contains a space in the middle and I always get an “invalid password” error.

    I didn’t try yet to change the password and try again but I suspect the password field when you login might not like a space in it.

    In any case, if I can check if the password is really the issue, I will try to create a proper bug report on the git repository or something.

    Thanks for the hard work ! It makes me happy to see devs embracing Lemmy and trying to make the best out of a pretty sad situation with reddit.

      Oh you might be on to something. There was a similar bug report but we thought it was their password length. It might be spaces. I’ll take a lol. Thanks!

    Any plans to add comment collapsing? Sorry, I’m new to the app, play store installed

    Edit: jk, figured it out. Press and hold

    Just installed the app via the playstore. I needed to use the website to be able to access it.

    BTW, rating can’t be correct:

    Content rating
PEGI 18 • Extreme violence

    I like how you can add multiple accounts and get an overview of all the subscribed channels in 1 view. Posting seems to be an issue yet, at least here with multiple acocunts. (probably pebkac issue, as it’s less then an hour on the device)

      This I’m sure is due to the fact that people can upload nsfw posts, even though it can be moderated.

      Would love support here if any one has experience with the play store in this area

    I didn’t see it on your list, but communities I have blocked are showing up on the frontpage when I have “all” selected.

    Are any iOS users having some serious performance issues with Liftoff? I’ve tried both TestFlight versions and no matter what settings I use, Liftoff feels very sluggish.

      We’re working on improving refresh rate from current default 60Hz, would that explain what you’re seeing? It’s my main app for browsing Lemmy and it’s generally doing pretty well unless there’s about 1000 comments in a thread.

    I can easily see this becoming my new time sink once Boost dies in two days! Loving the app so far, very very impressive for such an early version. One thing I’d love to see (correct me if this is already possible) is having the refresh not only available at the top of the page. Having to scroll up for half a minute just to refresh is a bit tedious :D

    Do we have any notification of getting replies yet?

    Using oled dark if that makes a difference

    Your app is awesome, many thanks. I’m missing only the possibility to change the main color, otherwise it has aöready everything I need.

    Love the new update! Are you guys considering adding post/comment text size adjustment as well (rather than just title/header)?

    eta: It would also be great to be able to see the bottom navigation when viewing an instance/community page. The little autocorrect bubble is a bit wonky when writing comments as well.

      Yeah comment font sizes are coming.

      Could you share a screenshot of what you’re talking about with the wonky comment writing?

    This is great work! Thank you so much for putting this together so quickly!

    Do you plan to offer the option for tap to collapse comment rather than press& hold to collapse?
