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.

I'd like the ability to open links with my browser of choice instead of the default in-app browser.

I don't like the way it has a different color than the status bar. Looks jarring and incomplete.

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.

I’m a Mlem guy myself. I like a well designed and native (Swift on Apple platforms) UI. I’ve been absolutely loving it! I can’t say I used Liftoff for very long when I was testing as I ruled it out due to its non native UI relativity quickly haha. But as far as apps go, it looked alright. Just not for me. It sounds like there are many out there loving it (Liftoff)!

I couldn't get it installed. It kept telling me "app not purchased", but only gives me an option to install. It looks promising, though.

It's 2nd best to wefwef.app. The only thing wefwef needs is a grey theme, then it would be perfect. Also it's web based and no dedicated app. But the PWA app is quite good.

I like it. My only criticism so far is that I use Dex pretty frequently and it is not very usable through Dex.

Such a niche use case πŸ™‚

honestly i kinda like it but it is also a bit messy and buggy, and it also has a lot of things that heavily annoy me into using the website on mobile

the main problem is any time i get a reply, i tap the link to go to the reply and it goes to the post without context, what a mess

i also can't see new comments i post without reloading

idk if they fixed it but b4 i couldn't delete or edit posts/comments which was like ???

i do think it's way better than jerboa for many things, especially for a multi-account user who likes to swap onto other instances a lot. but its room to grow is obviously enormous. I won't try to discredit the devs, this is an amazing app for something so early in the game.

I think it's missing a few key features. But for the most part I really like it

I have been using it extensively including on Desktop. Overall I am super happy I have a cross platform Lemmy app across different platforms from desktop to mobile.
