Lots of great changes have been added by our growing team of contributors as highlighted below. If you want to join the team come and say hello at the team discussion on Matrix
Please note that many lemmy servers are under massive pressure today, so you may see many unexpected error messages and silent failures. Please bear with us all!
Updates should appear on TestFlight and Play Store today.
HI, the photo preview height is a bit too low, it cuts basically any meme and force you to click on them each time, can you add an height control or a disabile option in future version?
Also, any way to hide this? I know is a server issue, but can we disable it from showing?
Hi! Can you make the post preview height toggle able? I preferred it the old way and now I have to click the images in order to see my memes fully..
That's rather inconvenient annoying.
Edit: changed inconvenient to annoying as it is really annoying to have to click every image.
Came here to post exactly this, it would be much better if it was a toggleable option for the fixed card height, I liked just scrolling and in fact was the reason I switched to liftoff, was just a better experience, now it's annoying.
Agreed I'd rather see an entirely too long post occasionally than have to click/tap every other one just to see the punchline to a meme I already read half of while scrolling
Changed photo previews in post feed to have a consistent maximum height and updated opening animation (prefanatic)
Thanks, I hate it. I don't want a preview, I want the real thing. Full pictures in the feed was one of my favorite features about Liftoff and you just removed it completely. Could at least have made it a setting.
I guess I could live with previews if there was a clear indicator on whether I'm seeing a preview or the whole picture fits the maximum height - now I only realize I need to click on it because e.g. the meme doesn't make any sense so there's probably some caption that I'm missing.
Great work otherwise, thank you for your efforts, but this feature sucks. (Great opening animation, though.)
I hate to be a bother, but I support this comment. I was quite happy just scrolling my memes without needing to tap on the post, but now top text and bottom text are cut off most of the time.
I hate having to push this every time but is there any progress on being able to see media and images in a post while commenting, without having to exit the comment altogether?
not sure if this is a feature or not but whenever you collapse threads and then scroll to the top of the post without pulling to refresh ( to confirm info OP says to comment on, etc), the app acts like it is entering a new post and un-collapses all threads when you scroll back down... almost like the app refreshes and doesn't save preferences until you get out of the post
to add to this, it only seems to happen when a post has enough comments to actually scroll, like this post. other posts with non scrolling amount of comments don't seem to be affected
Same, I just started using Liftoff and got a little lost because my comments expanded again once off screen.
It'd also be nice if they removed/shrunk the "tap to expand" line, or made it inline with the commenter username, sort of like collapsing on the official Reddit app.
I changed out the battery but other than that it's still going strong. More than powerful enough for my workloads (mainly browsing and videos).The OLED screen is still in perfect condition.
Doesn't support 5G and some GNSS providers if that's something you care about. But at some point I'll be forced to upgrade because its not going to get anything newer than Android 11.
I'm so excited that this app is rolling with the same fervent continuous updates and improvement activity needed to hold Lemmy together under the deluge of new users. I have actively seen the app get better and then had to look up to see if it had been updated.
Nice work! It's become increasingly a pleasure to use.
When I tap on a link to a community in another instance, it takes me there, but if I then try to subscribe it tells me to pick my account first I do this, then it reloads the page, and only then can I subscribe. What is the point of this step? Liftoff obviously already knows what account I'm in so why do I need to choose it before I can subscribe?
