First of all great job, this is the best app I’ve tried so far for iOS.

I have a doubt. Isn’t it possible to search and subscribe to communities different than the one you’re logged into? I mean, from beehaw website I can search and subscribe to communities in lemmy.ml or any other and the post and reply from there.

Is this a functionality that’s not yet ready or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks for the effort and keep up the great work.

Could you check that the instance that is selected on the search page drop-down is actually one you are logged on to? That has caught me out before.

That’s actually what I mean. If I search anything in the selected instance it works great. But from the website I can search for a specific term (I.e. technology) in every federated instance. So from beehaw.org I could search and subscribe to limbo community and i can’t seem to do this from the app if I’m just logged into beehaw.org

Got it now. Logging it as an issue on the Liftoff GitHub. Thanks.

@[email protected], beautiful UI and very responsive. Best Lemmy app I’ve used so far. Love the layout. Feels very polished for a beta and is already my preferred way to browse. Excellent work.

Suggestions:

  • “collapsed” or traditional non-card view of homepage.
  • when searching, there’s no X to quickly clear the search bar. I’ve just been highlighting and removing that way.

Collapsed view is already implemented as a user setting in Liftoff! (see announcement post). Good call on the search.
