Looks like this is a combination of lemmynade and limbo? Which were both forks of Lemmur.
I liked lemmur UI so this one is quite nice.
I believe this was Lemmynade originally!
You might want to rename it considering that a company named Liftoff Software exists and has a trademark on the the term, “liftoff” pertaining to software.
Seems like their trademark is actually on SAAS offerings. I think we’ll be fine
Screenshots? What makes it special? Is it CPU/memory efficient?
When you land on their GitHub repo you have nothing describing the project, only build instructions.

Screenshots are now in the repo:
Cool! I’ll download it and add it to lemmy app folder :)
Lol I have so many that I’m trying out as well. Did the exact same.
Yay more options
Just tried it (writing this comment from it). Generally, it feels a lot more polished and nicer looking than Jerboa, but, if you set the feed to Subsciber, nothing happens, it just loads a blank page.
Other than this, it feels a lot better than Jerboa. So I would use it, but the Subscribed feed is broken, so that’s a deal breaker for me currently.
Ok, found a fix for this, on the drop down for selecting feeds, choose the subscribed feeds from the instance, not the everything section. That seems to work as expected for me.
But most of the communities I’ve subscribed to are not on my instance.
I’ve tried just about all of the current apps that are available for lemmy over the last two days and so far liftoff feels the most like a usable app to me. To ve fair, I know that a lot of rhe apps I tried are still in alpha or beta, so I’m not trying to talk bad about them, I get it. Liftoff is pretty good though.
I love liftoff, but it doesn’t have font size option. That’s the only downside so far. I have installed and I’m going to keep an eye on it. I have been using connect for Lemmy and it hasn’t been that bad.
Same here. I subscribed to release notifications over on github too.
Yep, agreed. Just tried it, and if it wasn’t for the Subscribed feed not loading bug, I’d use this instead of Jerboa.
Yeah I almost forgot about that. I’ve also noticed lately that whenever you post a comment it appears twice as if you double posted, but in reality there’s only one comment.
Yeah, that too. Noticed it after I wrote my previous reply, lol 😂.
Which bug is that? I haven’t seen that in the issue tracker, could you share details and I’ll prioritize that.
The Subscribed feed is showing up empty. Other settings regarding the feed work fine, but the Subscribed feed is broken. Also, replies showing up as double replies, one below the other, once you reply to a post.
And you could make the search menu a bit more… friendly. Currently you have to add instances in order to search for communities in them. Not practical at all, there are hundreds of instances, if I had to add each one in order to search in them, that will just take way too long. Why not have instance and communities auto-discoverable, like in Jerboa (type in search the community you’re lookimg for, results pop up).
Looks promising! Is it on FDroid?

Nah
:(
Will it be on f-Droid ?
Try Obtainium. I use it for apps that I would have to wait on F-droid for. Also check out the IzzyOnDroid Repo as a lot of apps get updates faster on that repo.
Need to ask on !liftoff@lemmy.world
So my instance has updated to 0.18 and Enabled TOTP support - I have enabled it as I want to ensure my accounts are as secure as possible. the problem, no apps support it yet.
I plan to install every app for Lemmy in order to find a good experience on Lemmy. So I have installed it, but I won’t be able to use it untill it supports entering TOTP tokens.
Do you plan to add support for this?
Edit: not sure why this was downvoted. I know some people are having issues with the implementation TOTP in Lemmy - I nearly did, in fact the code didn’t show up in my authenticator app until I accidentally added it twice. (Then I removed the identical second code) But the fact the implementation needs work doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be supported - next point release should be fixing some or all of these things, so isn’t it a good idea to be prepared for that? Also I’ve seen a pull request in Jerboa’s github that adds preliminary support for it as well - but the Devs are bogged down with requests for Lemmy and Jerboa, so I’m not expecting it to make it through in the next week, no matter how much of a priority it is.
Now I know this app is open source and run by people out of the goodness of their heart too. And I will patiently wait for the time when it’s added - if not work out a preliminary way to add it and submit a pull request. But my expertise isn’t in interface and app design and therefore if I do find the time to do it, the implementation will be crude at best - I know next to none of the conventions specific to app development, having only used LibGDX, which is a game dev toolkit similar to XNA for modern android.
TOTP support will be coming very soon: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/pull/56
Still needs to be reviewed, but keep tracking this over the next couple days.
Awesome! Thankyou.
Any intention providing are TestFlight link for iOS testing?
Looking to try this out on iOS too.
Can’t you just download the file from the repo and install it?
Can’t login, it says my password is incorrect
Edit: before someone tells me to put in my correct password, I use copy&paste from a password manager
Is your password longer than 60 characters? If so, you should know that your actual password was truncated to 60 chars at the time of account creation. You won’t notice on the website because the login webform automatically truncates characters beyond the limit, but most 3rd-party apps don’t do this because it’s an undocumented thing.
Basically, my advice would be to update the password in your password manager to be truncated to 60 characters and then try logging in with the app again.
What kind of maniac would use a password that’s longer than 60 characters?
I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client’s webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.
Slightly smaller font would be nice. Opening links in the default browser would be great too.
Looks great so far though.
How does it deal with instances on 0.18 vs 0.17? Can it do both?
Not in fdroid for some reason
