I have an issue with adding my account from lemmy.world. It accepts it, but after a couple of hours it will not fetch any posts from lemmy.world anymore. It still works great with my other account on another instance, but my lemmy.world-account will not.

To be fair: I had the same issue with Jerboa, so I don't know if it is the app or lemmy,world. The website works fine though...

I would very much like to turn off auto-play media.

Please and thank you.

The editing of the photo is nice as the topbar. The scroll to save option works but i don't know how to unsave the post in the folder. Also i'm not a fan of the new position of the 3 dot menu in the post.

Any change to have the link thumbnails image in card view mode??

[-] MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com 3 points 1 year ago

There should be an option in the post menu to save a post without using the swipe gesture. I thought it was removed and didn't even think to try swiping.

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This should be back in 0.10.9, please check.

[-] MrJukes@lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com 2 points 1 year ago

It is! Thanks :)

can we please get a better / additional way for favoriting posts? the new swipe feature is really buggy. you swipe and it decides random if it favorites the post or not. and if you want to remove a favorited post, it often don't works at all and takes what feels 5-6 trys (swipes). can you atleast give us a additional button to favorite / unfavorite posts? and a option to disable this swipe actions in the settings would be nice too. I'm sometimes trigger them by accident since i have the new update and would rather use a normal button instead.

thanks!

p.s: the sorting in the profile overview is also buggy and often don't works. clicking sorting by new doesn't really does sort by new for me most of the times.

Please add a way to disable swipe actions. I've been bouncing between 4 different apps, and I thought Liftoff already had them and I disabled them, but they came back overnight, but I guess you're saying they're new. Please add a way to disable them. I really don't like them. I trigger them all the time by accident, randomly voting on or saving things.

I'm using it on a Linux laptop. The swipe gestures on a multi-point touchpad is simply the most intuitive and user friendly navigation I've experienced natively from any Linux application ever.

Thank you for the update!

[-] pfannkuchen_gesicht@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

^ That didn't happen before. It's fixed by opening the account list. The subscription tab only shows a timeout error now all the time and the bookmark button is missing :(

EDIT: oh, just found the swipe actions. Some thoughts on that: a two-staged swipe-action isn't very intuitive and will lead to the wrong action being triggered more often than not. Maybe make a left swipe bookmark and right swipe upvote. With the bookmark swipe I can't unbookmark anymore and even if I could, there would be no indication right away.

[-] Cyyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

swiping right is already for closing the current open post. i would hate to lose this feature and it be replaced by favoriting stuff or similiar.

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update!

I'm not sure what exactly the issue is but the app keeps pausing my music. I thought it was the in line videos but replying here paused my music as well.

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like it’s due to autoplay- issue raised here https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues/404

This feels way faster. Idky but thanks so much.

[-] understandable@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I used to be a RedReader person and I know RedReader is getting Lemmy support eventually, but with how this app is coming along, I might stay indefinitely.

[-] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just discovered Liftoff today, and I like its minimalistic design. However I noticed that some random NSFW images in my timeline won’t load, as you can see in the screenshot. These posts display fine in other apps. Maybe this is something you could look into.

Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Edit: display NSFW setting is on of course.

Does anyone else have an issue with posts not being marked as read?

[-] beet@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Buttons at the top of the screen opening menus at the bottom of the screen are a bit irritating. Better UX would be to have the menus near the buttons for less reaching.
