Iβm a Mlem guy myself. I like a well designed and native (Swift on Apple platforms) UI. Iβve been absolutely loving it! I canβt 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 like the minimalistic approach of Lerboa, but liftoff looks really solid. Totally see why it would appeal more to general masses, it's beautiful!
Jerboa is good. But Liftoff is better feature wise π

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

The interface is fast on an oldish Android tablet and I like the way images swipe up and away smoothly. But I couldn't vote or comment on non-local posts that I could do on Connect. Not sure if that was a config setting I missed though.

My only gripe is that there does not seem to be a "context" button as the website has when people reply to my comments. Other than that, seems pretty solid.

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.

Yes I really like Liftoff.
I use Liftoff on my Android. Memmy on my iPhone. Voyager (wefwef) on my desktop.

I had some issues, but after I remembered to update everything is great.
I started with Jerboa and moved to Liftoff due to bugginess. Then moved from Liftoff to Connect because it's easier to flip between accounts with fewer taps. I was on Boost for R and am hoping the new upcoming Lemmy app is as good.
Connect almost does it for me, but it doesn't let me set default to Front Page or Subscribed sorted by New. I don't want to have to tap multiple times to get to that view every time I open the app.
