    I’m not sure how to submit GitHub issues, but there are a few things I want to note (I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro):

    Sometimes when opening a post, after loading the entire comment screen is taken up by a blank gray screen. I can slide back out to the post/feed view, and after a few attempts re-enter the comment view and actually see comments. I haven’t seen other complaints about this, and don’t know what’s causing it.

    When I use the built-in browser to view a link, there is no shortcut to back out to the comment view. Instead, I have to mash “back/up” enough to return to the view. A nice inclusion would be some sort of top bar or navigation bar to allow “leaving” the link and returning to my normal Liftoff view.

    Thanks for everything!

    Notifications??

    I know on the top left there is the bell icon to look at notifications. It works nice but there is no change in how it looks if I have a new Notification. It would be great if it changed to the color when I have a new reply to one of my comments.

    I love this app though. Very nice. Closest to RIF I have found. Thank you for everything

    Just wanted to use my first comment on Lemmy to thank the devs of this app. Its simple, intuitive(mostly, learning new stuff is hard), and looks super clean. Watched RiF grow for over ten years, I’m excited tovsee where this goes.

    Are there any plans to add more appearance options? Particularly with font colours, I want to adjust it so the text is just a bit more grey at night.

    Absolutely brilliant. The AMOLED dark mode is perfect now with the line in between posts, but if liftoff could use the system’s accent color (at least in Android) it would be amazingly sexy.

    It’s the best app for lemmy imho, thanks for the good work!

    I love that it’s the only one that allows me to select text like RIF, I wish there was a setting to make it selectable by default on long press!

    Thanks for the hard work, it’s been my favorite app for Lemmy so far!

    A couple of questions though:

    • Will we be able to subscribe to communities on other instances in the future (as Jerboa allows)?
    • I am registered on Lemmy.ml but still Lemmy.World appears on my app when choosing Subscribed/Local/All. Any way to hide it?

        It’s a bit spotty. Some of the time it works flawlessly, other times I have to switch to jerboa or connect to subscribe, then come back to view the content

    Hi, i made a small patch to hide posts from the feed, and i’m not sending a PR on github because it’s unfinished, might be bad code and i don’t know if i will finish it. So if anyone wants to finish it feel free to do so. It was rebased a couple hours ago, so there’s probably no confilicts if you git apply.

    What it does:

    • adds a button to the post
    • when that button is clicked, it hides the post (globally via the postId, so u could still see it from other instances, i think)

    What is missing (IMO):

    • Some way to see which posts were hidden
    • Some way to unhide them
    • Config option to disable/enable the button.
    • Improve the code? Currently it just checks every post in the post builder if the postId is in the list and swaps it with a SizedBox(height:0), might be better to filter in the fetcher.

    patch: https://rentry.co/liftoff-hide-post

    video of it working: https://sendvid.com/papfuniw

    edit: added GIF GIF of the video

    Are there plans or possibly a way I just haven’t figured out, to have comment replies and DMs send push notifications/alerts and at least basic moderation tools (stickying, locking, removing posts in communities you mod in)? I think Liftoff is perfect for me, it’s just missing these two things. I’ve worked around notifications but just having Connect in the background, but I prefer everything else about Liftoff, and no app I’ve seen thus far on Android has tools to moderate either, so I hope it is something in the pipe.

      We’ve added modlog in the latest release. And basic mod actions are coming.

      Additionally notifications are really close to being done
