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 tried it, but the "compact" view is wayyyyy too sparse. I have a phone the size of the moon, I should be able to view more than 3 and a half single-line posts on screen
Agreed. It will be fixed in the next updates.
LIftoff is fine, but I like Thunder better.
For me Thuder has better UI but lacks functionality, f.e. answering to replies is nightmare because no context of comment.
I tried it for a while, but ended up yp with Jerboa. I'm not a fan of how it makes you choose which instance to search and view from rather than just contextually basing everything off of what instance you're signed into.
I tend to switch back and forth from Thunder to Liftoff and back. I like the layout and gestures of Thunder but Liftoff allows me to share memes directly from the app. That's a surprisingly rare feature.
Definitely my favourite one so far! Though I will still be experimenting with newer ones when they come out.
A couple features I'd like to see implemented:
- Setting a base instance/account and having links open through that instance. I understand this will put increased pressure on the base instance but from a user perspective this is a massive qol update.
- Finding a way to upload videos or converting small videos to gifs before uploading without having to go into a third party source or implementing third party connectivity for this purpose. This is probably out of scope for what the app is trying to achieve, but would be a great addition for content creation on Lemmy in general.
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 become my default app for Lemmy.
I am still waiting to try Boost, though.
Does it / will it have mod tools available? The only way I've found so far to access the mod inbox, pin threads etc is through the Lemmy website
Its decent but I would like an option to hide the bottom navigation bar
In the future releases it will autohide while scrolling.
I tried Liftoff, ran into some login issues, and some other minor annoyances and switched to Connect. So far I'm liking connect
This is awesome work. I wish posts had a thumbnail on the left or right to give you a snippet of the topic similar to the RIF app. I'd not then it mainly feels like a lot of words and read which is not horrible but the experience is slightly lessened and cluttered.
- The top menus are buttons and look weird and cheapen the experience.
- Voting canβt be done via swipe.
- You should be able to search all communities across all federated instances.
- You should be able to browse the full list of communities for a selected instance.
- The sorter for message replies doesnβt make sense. Why would I need to sort Active message replies?
- If I check a message reply as read, their doesnβt appear to be a way to see it again.
To be very honest, Memmy is currently my favorite and I have been testing them all pretty extensively.
