I’m going to join the gang of dark mode is too dark.
I see that it splits the comments in half, so maybe if it is possible to add a grey mode that looks like the old dark mode, both sides could be happy.
I use dark mode as much as possible, but this dark mode is migraine inducing to me due to the white on black colorscheme.We’ll add back the grey mode
will there be a fix for the sorting in our profiles not working? if you click sort by new, it does nothing :/
p.s: thanks for adding the save post button back in 0.10.9 - saving post works great now.
Awesome! Thank you. <3
Yay! I picked Liftoff because it was so much better looking than all those other harsh black apps. This is very happy news to wake up to 🥳
Please allow users to choose, I really like the current dark theme. Maybe allow users to change all the colors, not just the accent?
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??
As someone who’s looking into different apps currently, how does liftoff compare to Jerboa and Connect?
Thanks for the update!
Can you please add an option to hide all comment replies by default and not hiding the parent comment on tapping? Thanks.

Nice work on the app, really liking it so far. Is it possible to do a universal search? I only seem to be able to search in the instance my account is it.
What’s the difference between v7a and v8a?
It’s the CPU architecture the app was compiled for. The biggest difference is that ARMv7 is 32 bits, and ARMv8 is 64 bits.
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.
Thanks for the update but honestly dark mode is way too dark now. Liftoff had the easiest on the eye dark mode before this so it’s disappointing to see it look like the official reddit app now.
Please can we have an option to bring it back?
Sure we can bring it back!
Thanks for being so responsive!
I agree with this guy, I’ve loved every update so far but this one is too dark. It adds too much contrast which makes it harsh on the eyes.
I cannot emphasize how important this is for my eyes, the sooner you guys can bring this back the better.
BTW, can you provide more info on “compact view to be more compact”. What exactly changed? I have the feeling that the space within posts has been reduced but I am not sure. If that is the case then I preferred to have a more clear separation within posts (already disabled the shadow).
^ 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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the update!
