Not in fdroid for some reason
Looks like this is a combination of lemmynade and limbo? Which were both forks of Lemmur.
Looks promising! Is it on FDroid?
Not yet but you can get it via Obtainium for example.
I've not been able to login with my vlemmy.net instance, however I really like the UI and had success with my lemmy.one instance!
This works with the latest update!
You might want to rename it considering that a company named Liftoff Software exists and has a trademark on the the term, "liftoff" pertaining to software.
Seems like their trademark is actually on SAAS offerings. I think we'll be fine
The trademark category is for "software". There's no distinction between SaaS and an app. They're the same thing from a trademark standing.
Could you be more specific a little more specific and helpful?
This was the closest I could find:

I've tried just about all of the current apps that are available for lemmy over the last two days and so far liftoff feels the most like a usable app to me. To ve fair, I know that a lot of rhe apps I tried are still in alpha or beta, so I'm not trying to talk bad about them, I get it. Liftoff is pretty good though.
Yep, agreed. Just tried it, and if it wasn't for the Subscribed feed not loading bug, I'd use this instead of Jerboa.
Which bug is that? I haven't seen that in the issue tracker, could you share details and I'll prioritize that.
The Subscribed feed is showing up empty. Other settings regarding the feed work fine, but the Subscribed feed is broken. Also, replies showing up as double replies, one below the other, once you reply to a post.
And you could make the search menu a bit more... friendly. Currently you have to add instances in order to search for communities in them. Not practical at all, there are hundreds of instances, if I had to add each one in order to search in them, that will just take way too long. Why not have instance and communities auto-discoverable, like in Jerboa (type in search the community you're lookimg for, results pop up).
About the search menu.. unless I'm mis understanding that's just how Lemmy works. You have to be subscribed or at least have search for a community outside of your instance before you can interact with it within your instance.
Actually, no. If at least one user from your instance has subscribed to a community of another instance, that other instance's communities show up in your search results (they are federated)... at least that is how it should work 100% of the time, but it doesn't. In most cases, it doesn't actually show all of the communities that would show up during a search, meaning the web UI would return a lot more results.
The method you're using is actually a safe bet: specify the instace's URL and don't have to rely on whether that specific instance is federated with my instance, just search for communities there as well. That approach is easier if you actually have a link to the community which you'd like to add and the instance on which it resides. But, if you have no idea on what instance that community might reside, it's easier to actually seach for it via the web UI, which I hoped would be implemented in an app sooner or later (having relevant results I mean).
Yeah I'm wanting to implement that into liftoff. That's the main feature I've been wanting in apps.
To clarify this app is a resurrection of an abandoned Lemmy app, when this app was active Lemmy was not as popular and we didn't have massive instances like Lemmy world. Working through this is a fun challenge but it's also a user experience challenge. What instance are you having issues with?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
