    I tried about five different android apps and LiftOff was the one I picked. Looks the best, runs smooth, nice interface, fast with updates. Love it.

      Same. Connect is much cleaner in my opinion. Still has some clunkiness and I don’t like that touching the screen on images closes the image, but overall it’s a great start.

    Would be nice if there was an option in the settings to turn on the ability to see upvote and downvote counts for every post and comment. It’s pretty much the only reason I keep going back to Jerboa. I really like being able to see the amount of downvotes something might’ve gotten.

      Does lift off have the feature to highlight a comment and then hit a button to go directly to the next parent level comment?

        kind of. It has “view context”, which doesn’t show the parent, but it also has “more context”, which will. So between the two you can get what you’re looking for in 2 clicks

    I switched to Liftoff from Jerboa.

    There are a few features that either don’t exist or I haven’t found (jump to next comments thread), but it’s worked really well overall.

    For context, I use Relay when I’m on Reddit

    I was going to say that I loved it, but right now it’s no longer showing me posts on my subscribed account on lemmy.world.

    So I’m currently on my backup app, voyager.

    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.

    It’s my favorite of the options so far, I wish I wouldn’t default to lemmy.world, but that may be pilot error…

    It’s pretty nice, definitely prettier than jerboa. I still haven’t found an app that will let me swipe between post comment sections like Joey (for reddit) could. Heck, even the official reddit app could do it, it’s like the only feature it had that all of the 3rd party apps don’t. Once I find an app that can do that, I’ll probably stick with it

    It was buggy and the “Subscribed” feeds weren’t showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it’s working well now.

    I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I’ve tried.

    Coming from the Reddit is Fun app, I tried Jerboa first, thought it was fine, then tried Liftoff and it feels a lot better to me so far. But I’m still new to this universe, so I might try other apps and change my mind! Loving the diversity so far at least!

      I’m also a RIF refugee. Liftoff is the first app I’ve tried for Lemmy. Overall I’m pretty happy. The updates get better and better. I’m still leaning how to Lemmy, but I really like it so far. One of the few things throwing me off at the moment is that I either can’t or don’t know how to easily tell what posts I’ve already seen. RIF would change the color of the text from white to blue. If they can add that then I’ll have nothing to complain about.

      Also a RIF refugee. I’ve tried every Lemmy app I saw on Google Play, Liftoff is the one I’m happiest with.

    So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it’s my favorite from the ones I’ve tried. I still wanna try boost out!
