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

Check out Thunder! It’s my favorite Lemmy app so far coming from Relay. Similar to Jerboa but a lot smoother in my experience.

I couldnt figure out how to post pictures with that app and there were a few bugs, but then again, it’s Lemmy.

Uploading pictures hasn’t been implemented into Thunder yet.

I never have bugs with lemmy only time something happens is if they are upgrading the server!

All features are not yet ready, image uploads, or even adding links to posts, is one of those.

There was a new uldate today, which added a lot. Full support for posting should be coming in the next one, there is already a PR for that.

Thank you so much. As a Relay fan, I’ve been looking for something to fill that space. And lift off wasn’t quite doing it for me.

Just started using it today and works well. Previously was using Relay for Reddit and like that feature. Might try liftoff sometime but jeroba is getting the job done so far.

As a fellow former Relay user, I also like Liftoff better. It’s closer to what I’m used to.

Funny, I’m the same in every way. Didn’t really have too many complaints about Jerboa but really finding Liftoff to be slick.

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

There are a few default instances in the settings page, and you can add your own as well.

You can remove the lemmy.world instance once you’ve added your own. Long press.

I’m on Jerboa for the moment, it gets the job done, was more intuitive for me than Liftoff. With that said I will 100% be switching to Boost when it’s available.

Just tried Jerboa again. The search is not good. It doesn’t have the ability to search by comment, post, or user… Only search for communities. Liftoff, Memmy, and Voyager all have this function.

Yeah I’ve been waiting for Boost since I joined Lemmy, but I’m enjoying LiftOff so much I’m no longer sure I’ll switch when Boost does become available.

Truthfully, it was my least favorite of all of the Lemmy apps. I didn’t like it’s user interface. Was it recently updated?

I tried liftoff a few hours ago and same. Didn’t mind jerboa, but connect just clicked with me… I think because the flow is extremely similar to boost.

I couldn’t shake the same feeling I get when using discord when using liftoff. Just no.

To each their own. That’s why there are options.

I dabbled with Jerboa, Thunder, Liftoff, Connect, and wefwef.

I like Jerboa the most.

Jerboa looks ok but the thumbs up buttons make me feel like I’m on Facebook (stupid reason, I know)

Liftoff has everything I need so it’s fine for me until boost releases

Same. It looks and feels like “my first flutter app”. I switched to Thunder, which is also made with flutter, but is much more pleasant to use.

The UI is a little too cluttered and messy for my liking but it’s a solid app! Love FOSS software
