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!

Congrats on the App Store launch!!!

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
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?
I can already subscribe to other communities on liftoff?
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
same here - I can get it to work if the community is linked in a post (such as [email protected]). searching that same string yield no results unless someone else has linked to that community in a post.
