Seems like most reddit clients are named: “BlaBla for reddit”. It makes it easy to find clients for reddit. I wonder if this would also be beneficial for lemmy clients.

Yeah I agree. It would be easier to find. When I search for Liftoff, there is a bunch of games involving planes.

Was having trouble figuring out how to collapse comments… Finally stumbled on pressing and holding. Maybe this will help someone else using Liftoff.

We’re making it a simple tap in the next release so don’t get too set on the long press :-)

This is how I have it in boost, comment controls (vote, reply etc) hidden by default, simple tap to show/hide those controls, long tap to collapse comments.

This is a pretty nice app! I especially like that it shows me content from multiple Lemmy instances, without my home instance needing to federate with them!

I have some feedback, though: when I see content from lemmy.ml, the app should use my lemmy.world account to vote and comment, as if I were viewing that instance through lemmy.world. It really defeats the purpose of federation if I can’t use the same account, after all.

I second this, intensely! It’s very silly…

Is making an account on every instance a thing that should really be done?

Fundamentally, I think it doesn’t really matter. But as the first commenter said, the point of federation is that you only need 1 account on 1 federated instance to interact with everything. If the app doesn’t let you do that, it’s just defeating the point.

I’ve got it installed via github but it doesn’t show up in the search in the playstore for me
