For those of you wondering what all the fuss is about, here’s a quick introduction to the app.
Yes, it’s yet another app for Lemmy, but based heavily on the mature but now abandoned Lemmur project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI.
Written in Flutter, so it is very multi-platform. We currently have builds available for testing for Android and iOS (also running on iPad and Macs [Apple Silicon only for the moment]). Brave souls can try building it for Linux or Windows and report back on their experiences!
Preview it on iOS at TestFlight or on Android at GitHub.
The source is released under GPL 2.0 and is available at GitHub for inspection, download, build, issue logging and contributions, so go and get it!
Features:
- Fully featured for end users: posting and commenting fully complete.
- Sorting and UI customisation options.
- Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode.
- Multiple accounts on multiple servers.
- Bookmark your favourite posts and comments.
- Localisation (work in progress).
- Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities).
- Support for direct messaging.
And here’s a few screenshots:

Thank you. I just discovered Liftoff! and it immediately replaced Jerboa on my Android tablet. Looking forward to seeing how this app matures, it’s already great!
Looks amazing, can’t wait to try it for Android!
You can get the Android installer here:
daaamn! sexy app!
i just started with lemmy a few hours ago by downloading ‘Connect for Lemmy’ from the play store. i have found it interesting and all, but i just installed the Liftoff apk from your github and i think this post-reddit experience might actually have a future.
thank you so much!
This is working great on Android. I don’t even want to touch the website anymore. No refresh issue either!
The subscribed view says there are no posts, which definitely isn’t true. Is this just not implemented yet? Or is it because lemmy.world isn’t on 0.18 yet?
Thank you very much!
It looks like one of the most mature Lemmy apps on iOS.
As far as I see, it’s the only one currently, that allows to copy the text of the post and the text of the comments. That helps very much with the possibility to translate the text of the post or the comments, by the way.
Thanks, you’ve prompted me to add an enhancement request to look at adding translation into the app.
