Lift it off y'all

I see a lot of people talking about the UI experience. I've found liftoff to be pretty enjoyable.

Infinity just came out, and its what I used for reddit for forever. Someone forked it and made it for lemmy and it's awesome!
- Android only? I can't find it on the app store.
  
  I dont think it is on play store or app store yet ! Just fdroid !
  
  Couldn't say. I'm not even sure if infinity for reddit was available on iPhones, I got it from f-droid ;)
Thunder >>>
- I really like Thunder’s interface and the font is so pleasing to my eyes, but just based on my anecdotal testing, it’s been the most unstable among Memmy, Mlem, and Voyager. It also has the least features compared to the others, but I’m hoping for more progress in the future as it’s honestly the best UI experience for me.
- I like Thunder a lot too. One thing I can't seem to figure out though is how to post images in comment replies.
  
  I wasn’t aware that was possible (tried in Memmy or Voyager and seemed like it wasn’t doable).
  
  Commenting UI is currently getting an overhaul to match the create a post UI (assuming you are on Thunder nightlys). I think posting images will get added then. If not we can definitely take a look at adding it :)
Try out Connect
Really like voyager as it’s basically apollo
Infinity for Lemmy
Liftoff isn't too bad but it's just not the same polished experience that Sync is. Plus it handles messaging weird imo
- Yeah, but you can't even post with sync
Try Sync. I feel like I will be killed for this statement
- I loved Sync for Reddit, just gotta wait for Kbin support now...
Liftoff is also a FPV drone simulator thats why i am confused by posts like this
The way liftoff handled messages/replies was what ultimately drove me to voyager and ultimately sync instead. Idk if they've fixed that issue or not, but it didn't really have anything I liked more than what other apps have to offer. That's not to say it's a bad app though, it is in my top 3.
- Same ! I am using infinity now , though infinity is less stable than most clients , thunder so far has been the best !
I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!
- The Band Elwood! The Band!
My favorites are Avelon and Mlem.
- Seconding Mlem!
  
  Yeah, Mlem is my overall favorite and I use it since my day 1 on Lemmy. The team seems to be awesome and the performance is really awesome too.
  
  Avelon has IMO the cleanest UI and its development looks really promising too.
I really like this meme template did you invent it in your personal meme laboratory? 🥼 🧪 🧫
Liftoff has been my daily driver for Lemmy after trying all the other Android apps that are available.

I was gonna try Boost thinking it would have been released by now but that ship has sailed. Too used to Liftoff.
So uhm... Does it have an inbox for replies? I tried to find it and failed miserably
- Yep, it's the bell icon.
  
  Thanks! P. S. Also now I feel stupid lol
- I look at the notifications bell for replies if that works for you
  
  Oh, so it's there, thanks!
Can you get it into the json fdroid repo?
Is there any app, that won't start from the top when switching between different apps? That's the only thing about Liftoff that kinda annoys me.
Honestly I've yet to find Jerboa lacking in anything I need. I'm glad others are finding apps they're satisfied with, but I'm having trouble imagining what could possibly make them notably better than Jerboa?
Sync is also beautiful. It feels like everything with reddit was just a dream...
Liftoff is so last month for me. Some usability decisions were weird imo
It's just too ugly. Can't even look at that shit in the eye
