It’s a good app, that’s for sure. Not really my style (I’m an iOS user and I prefer Memmy’s more ‘Apollo-like’ aesthetic) but the work being done here is fantastic!

Seriously, what a massive ‘win’ for the Fediverse; we’re practically drowning in great 3PAs, in the age where mobile is everything.
- Personally I liked the everything feed with multiple accounts. No other android app provides such a feature.
  
  Also I've been following the development of all lemmy apps and a lot of people seem to like memmy. Can't wait for the Android release
  
  Memmy doesn’t do that either, thankfully I just care about my one account lol
I switched over to Liftoff from Jebora a few days ago and am extremely happy. There are a few tweaks that I'm going to suggest over on their Github but it is amazing to see the effort and speed of development that they are putting in.

Thank you to the devs and maybe I'll get round to contributing to the code myself as well.
- Come on in! Flutter is a blast and we love contributions!
Is there Play Store support for liftoff yet? Been looking for it.
- Yes! It's here. I think since it's so new google doesn't display it anywhere near the top when you search for it.
  
  Hahaha I love that the poop question is in the screenshots.
  
  I don't think it will show in search until it leaves early access
  
  Awesome, thank you!
What is the second one?
- Not OP but it's definitely a tough choice between Liftoff and Jerboa. They're both super well made.
  
  Thunder is looking good too but I much prefer the style of liftoff
  
  Jerboa
  
  Also not OP, but Liftoff is currently in the top 2 for me with Connect for Lemmy
Love the app on ios, I wish I could change it from a long press to hide comment trees to a tap so then I could long press to select text though. Other than that it's brilliant.

I'd also like the buttons to be a darket shade of blue until pressed so once pressed it automatically turns lighter so you know you've pressed it while the action loads.
- Tap to collapse has a PR open and will be in the next release
  
  How do I see the PRs whatever they are?
- There is a "make text selectable" option in the menu for the comment.
I like it, but I also like Lemming a lot, it is alpha, as almost all of them, but it is the one that looks better to me.
This is the third Lemmy app I’ve tried and so far it’s definitely my favourite. Great job!
Also a way to rehide nfsw content easily perhaps a a button to tap to just rehide it?

Edit if you just keep scrolling and scroll back it automatically redhides, really cool!
I'm trying out the app right now and I'm really liking it. Three cheers for the rise of Lemmy!
