A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

I am missing the comment collapse option on all apps except gerboa. Hope they fix it.

It's there with a long press. I missed it too at first.

Thank you so much!! This has been driving me crazy. idk why "long press" just never occurs to me as an option!

Thunder has been the most featured for me so far. It does collapse by time, and i am also able to subscribe to communities from new instances following the [email protected] formatting.

I saw the announcement for that one, but I figured I'd leave off testing more for a little bit they mostly seem to be behind jerboa. Does liftoff support subscribing from instances your instance hasn't seen before already?

It has been the most polished experience so far for me, probably because they had the lemmur code base to begin with. As for adding communities, I'm not sure. The community search works like in Jerboa but I haven't tried it with new communities not indexed yet.

Just tried it out, but couldn't login since they don't have 2FA support yet. I don't think any of them really do yet, but if you logged in before setting it up the current apps still work. They got a PR for it so I guess I'll wait till that merges to try it out.

It looks like it can do it but it's buggy too. Overall not bad, not a big fan of the user interface in Liftoff for some reason though.

on Jerboa it was long press but they fixed it in recent releases. now just press once on the comment and it collapses. i was missing that but now the UX is great

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Liftoff has it. Press and hold

I'm seriously missing the ability to jump to the current/next/previous parent comment. I make heavy use of that and only Jerboa has it right now, I think.
