Sorry.

It doesn't matter which instance I put in it just gives me a red X and an error. I noticed it wasn't last updated until July 2023 does this app still even work anymore am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated thank you very much for your time.

I was fine with the app as it was, but it appears now there needs to be a small fix

Anyone else having trouble logging back in after Lemmy.world's last server update? It just spins forever after I click Sign In, doesn't even give me an error.

This goes to anyone like me who's still using this app

Liftoff doesn't have anything that deletes old data from cache, which means with time it will take up a good amount of storage, so we have to clear it manually every once in a while

You probably already know how by now but if you don't:

settings app > apps > liftoff > clear cache
or long press liftoff icon > app info > clear cache

The clear cache button might be hidden behind a storage or data submenu.

I think I was around 850MB this time, so y'all are probably around 1GB

Let's keep coping that liftoff is still maintained even though the last commit was in July.

Btw I don't care that someone else usually does this, I'm bored.

Now that 0.19 is in testing on a couple of servers we're faced with the reality that Liftoff is probably not going to be functional for much longer. So I'm curious what everyone's got planned.

Personally I've got my eye on [email protected] which is currently under development but looks like it might be the closest to my ideal. Developer describes it thusly:

I liked the feature richness of Liftoff (e.g. the possibility to explore all the communities of an external instance), the multi-community feature of Summit and the polished UI of Thunder and I wished I could have them all in the same app.

It's currently very promising, but also very buggy so I'm hopeful it might be in a more usable state by the time 0.19 starts majorly rolling out. We shall see. The dev put out a call for testers a couple days ago but I'm sure more wouldn't hurt if anyone wants to give it a whirl.

I've tried most of the main Android options by this point,

Whenever I try and go to this instance it shows that an unexpected error has occurred. What's the dealio?

The website itself appears to work.

It's that time again Lemmings, and no apologies for that image. The My Chemical Romance cover is better.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently does not have an auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
2. Select Storage and Cache
3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

I can see front page but then filtering by subscription, local etc I get "something went wrong" message. It's the app broken or just me? I cleared cache just in case but not working still.

If I delete a message in Liftoff, does it delete it only on my end, or on the receivers end also?

Hey The Dev, this is just a one off, random non technical user's ( I know what

<br>

Also the big concern is general security as time flies by.

So as a very satisfied but also a little concerned user: whats upp? Is the app still in development, even slow burn?

Edit: I'm a wee bit drunk and not an english speaker, okay, I edited some typo's.

There is (as far as I know) no easy way to copy a user handle to mention them in a post or comment. There isn't a UI element or menu option on a post to do this. I can go to their just page and use the share button, but then I get (for example):

https://lemmy.guide/link?target=@[email protected]

That's not Zach's instance, it's mine. To get the user handle I'd have to edit out the URL part, and change to the correct instance @[email protected].

Is that how it's supposed to work? Is the instance change thing a bug? Is there a better way I don't know about?

Hi, is there an option to hide a post in Liftoff? I'd like to hide a couple of posts I have in my feed.

Thanks!

I just checked GitHub and it looks like the last branch update was 3 months ago, is the Dev MIA or is this a planned break?

It's that time again Lemmings.

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.

I’m thinking of becoming a mod and want to know how good Liftoff! is for that. Is it easy to use?

The programming.dev instance is up via browser but for some reason the Liftoff app is getting a 502 error. I have removed my programming.dev account from the app and tried to add it again but I still get the 502 error. Any suggestions?
