Does this exist for Lemmy yet?

        Bear in mind Liftoff is probably going to stop working with Lemmy 0.19 so don’t get too attached to it 😢

          Is the project actually dead or is this an assumption based on lack of recent updates? I’m using liftoff and have been wondering about its future.

            A couple of people have tried to get in touch with the dev to no avail. It’s already broken for users on the couple of servers that are using 0.19 so only a matter of time for the rest of us, it seems.

                There’s a thread in !liftoff@lemmy.world where people are recommending their fave replacement but tbh pretty much every app gets at least one mention, which one is best probably depends on your priorities!

                None of them really meet all my needs (neither did Liftoff, I had to combine it with Summit), so I’m trying to help out by testing !raccoonforlemmy@lemmy.world in the hopes that it could become my holy grail.

                    • Good support for multiple accounts
                    • Easy on the eyes, which means among other stuff none of that forced solid black background stuff as it gives me a headache
                    • Customisable text for similar reasons to the above
                    • Easy to post & reply & generally interact with people (some apps make it real difficult to continue a convo from your inbox, for example)
                    • Basic mod capabilities
                    • Multi-communities are a big bonus (this is why I keep Summit installed)

                    Generally I prefer more features over slick looks which I think is where a lot of people go the other way. Probably depends if you post a lot or are more of a scroller. I currently have 11 apps installed so will just keep testing them all out until one wins, lol.

            I don’t think there’s been any confirmation but with a breaking update looming it’s not looking promising.
