    I tried about five different android apps and LiftOff was the one I picked. Looks the best, runs smooth, nice interface, fast with updates. Love it.

    So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it’s my favorite from the ones I’ve tried. I still wanna try boost out!

      Same. Connect is much cleaner in my opinion. Still has some clunkiness and I don’t like that touching the screen on images closes the image, but overall it’s a great start.

    The main issue I’m having with liftoff is that I cannot upvote or comment posts from other instances with my lemmy.ml account, so I’m still using jerboa

      It is kinda bad UI decision, not a bug. You should login into your account on some instance and choose through which instance you get content on the top of the screen. After that you will not have problems with commenting. Same thing with search, under search rectangle choose your instance! ❤️

      This should not be a problem with LiftOff. I can upvote and comment on posts from any instance. Have you tried the most recent update?

        I can upvote and comment on posts from any instance.

        I mean you can if you have multiple subscription or if you do it through your main instance, but that’s a feature all clients have and I think they do it in a more intuitive way, conpared to LiftOff

        Have you tried the most recent update?

        Yes, I’m on v0.10.7

          In that case, I don’t know what you mean. I only have one account on one instance and I can seamlessly interact with posts from other instances.

    I was going to say that I loved it, but right now it’s no longer showing me posts on my subscribed account on lemmy.world.

    So I’m currently on my backup app, voyager.

      Does lift off have the feature to highlight a comment and then hit a button to go directly to the next parent level comment?

        kind of. It has “view context”, which doesn’t show the parent, but it also has “more context”, which will. So between the two you can get what you’re looking for in 2 clicks

    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.

    I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa.

    There are a few features that either don’t exist or I haven’t found (jump to next comments thread), but it’s worked really well overall.

    For context, I use Relay when I’m on Reddit

    I’m on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it’s available.

      Just tried Jerboa again. The search is not good. It doesn’t have the ability to search by comment, post, or user… Only search for communities. Liftoff, Memmy, and Voyager all have this function.

      Yeah I’ve been waiting for Boost since I joined Lemmy, but I’m enjoying LiftOff so much I’m no longer sure I’ll switch when Boost does become available.

    Coming from the Reddit is Fun app, I tried Jerboa first, thought it was fine, then tried Liftoff and it feels a lot better to me so far. But I’m still new to this universe, so I might try other apps and change my mind! Loving the diversity so far at least!

      I’m also a RIF refugee. Liftoff is the first app I’ve tried for Lemmy. Overall I’m pretty happy. The updates get better and better. I’m still leaning how to Lemmy, but I really like it so far. One of the few things throwing me off at the moment is that I either can’t or don’t know how to easily tell what posts I’ve already seen. RIF would change the color of the text from white to blue. If they can add that then I’ll have nothing to complain about.

      Also a RIF refugee. I’ve tried every Lemmy app I saw on Google Play, Liftoff is the one I’m happiest with.

      do you know if Liftoff supports redgif etc.? it’s always annoying in Jerboa when you have to open such links manually instead of seeing it in the app self.

    I keep bouncing between this one and Jerboa. I like Liftoff a little more, as it’s easier to handle multiple instances and accounts, but I wish that it had mod tools so I wouldn’t have to go my communities in the browser or PC to do anything mod related.

    It’s my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn’t default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error…
