    I can easily see this becoming my new time sink once Boost dies in two days! Loving the app so far, very very impressive for such an early version. One thing I’d love to see (correct me if this is already possible) is having the refresh not only available at the top of the page. Having to scroll up for half a minute just to refresh is a bit tedious :D

    Y’all are doing really great work, and so goddamned quickly too. Jerboa won’t even let me log in, much less navigate this easily.

    Your app is awesome, many thanks. I’m missing only the possibility to change the main color, otherwise it has aöready everything I need.

    Any plans to add comment collapsing? Sorry, I’m new to the app, play store installed

    Edit: jk, figured it out. Press and hold

    Just installed the app via the playstore. I needed to use the website to be able to access it.

    BTW, rating can’t be correct:

    Content rating
PEGI 18 • Extreme violence

    I like how you can add multiple accounts and get an overview of all the subscribed channels in 1 view. Posting seems to be an issue yet, at least here with multiple acocunts. (probably pebkac issue, as it’s less then an hour on the device)

      This I’m sure is due to the fact that people can upload nsfw posts, even though it can be moderated.

      Would love support here if any one has experience with the play store in this area

    Everyday it gets harder to pick a lemmy app to use that isn’t Jerboa. Lmfao. This is great! Atm im between this and Thunder.

    I do have one issue i see wasn’t fixed, but i believe someone has mentioned it. Which is I cannot see content if i go directly to an NSFW sub. It acts like there isnt anything there, but i know I’m able to as I can see it in the everything feed and subscribed feed.

    Just installed the app and really like it so far. Keep up the great work!

    I’d love to see the ability to hide read posts. I’m coming from baconreader and loved that feature.

    This is great work! Thank you so much for putting this together so quickly!

    Do you plan to offer the option for tap to collapse comment rather than press& hold to collapse?

    Can you do something about the size of the reply graphics? I’m talking about the green, orange, etc line that appears next to a comment when it is a reply. They’re so narrow and the green one starts at the edge of the screen, making it almost invisible.

    Example

    I was eager to try out Liftoff but unfortunately I can’t seem to log in on it :/

    I noticed my password contains a space in the middle and I always get an “invalid password” error.

    I didn’t try yet to change the password and try again but I suspect the password field when you login might not like a space in it.

    In any case, if I can check if the password is really the issue, I will try to create a proper bug report on the git repository or something.

    Thanks for the hard work ! It makes me happy to see devs embracing Lemmy and trying to make the best out of a pretty sad situation with reddit.

      Oh you might be on to something. There was a similar bug report but we thought it was their password length. It might be spaces. I’ll take a lol. Thanks!
