Would be nice if there was an option in the settings to turn on the ability to see upvote and downvote counts for every post and comment. It's pretty much the only reason I keep going back to Jerboa. I really like being able to see the amount of downvotes something might've gotten.

I like it a lot. I tried Connect but it feels clunky, LiftOff feels more refined.
As a reader it's vastly better than Jeroba but the notifications are hidden in a very awkward way and I haven't seen access to the mod tools yet or figured out how to search for new communities.
LIftoff is fine, but I like Thunder better.
For me Thuder has better UI but lacks functionality, f.e. answering to replies is nightmare because no context of comment.
It's become my default app for Lemmy.
I am still waiting to try Boost, though.
I tend to switch back and forth from Thunder to Liftoff and back. I like the layout and gestures of Thunder but Liftoff allows me to share memes directly from the app. That's a surprisingly rare feature.
I tried it for a while, but ended up yp with Jerboa. I'm not a fan of how it makes you choose which instance to search and view from rather than just contextually basing everything off of what instance you're signed into.
Its decent but I would like an option to hide the bottom navigation bar
In the future releases it will autohide while scrolling.
Does it / will it have mod tools available? The only way I've found so far to access the mod inbox, pin threads etc is through the Lemmy website
Definitely my favourite one so far! Though I will still be experimenting with newer ones when they come out.
A couple features I'd like to see implemented:
- Setting a base instance/account and having links open through that instance. I understand this will put increased pressure on the base instance but from a user perspective this is a massive qol update.
- Finding a way to upload videos or converting small videos to gifs before uploading without having to go into a third party source or implementing third party connectivity for this purpose. This is probably out of scope for what the app is trying to achieve, but would be a great addition for content creation on Lemmy in general.
I keep bouncing between this one and Jerboa. I like Liftoff a little more, as it's easier to handle multiple instances and accounts, but I wish that it had mod tools so I wouldn't have to go my communities in the browser or PC to do anything mod related.
I seem to be using WefWef (just renamed "Voyager") and Liftoff the most.
A big fan of Sync, tho, so we'll see where we end up when that arrives.
I love it. Some things are a bit awkward ui wise but it's smooth, fast and doesn't heat up my oneplus one
- The top menus are buttons and look weird and cheapen the experience.
- Voting canβt be done via swipe.
- You should be able to search all communities across all federated instances.
- You should be able to browse the full list of communities for a selected instance.
- The sorter for message replies doesnβt make sense. Why would I need to sort Active message replies?
- If I check a message reply as read, their doesnβt appear to be a way to see it again.
To be very honest, Memmy is currently my favorite and I have been testing them all pretty extensively.
I couldn't enjoy Liftoff since it doesn't appear to have gesture support. Connect and WefWef are what I use until Sync for Lemmy is released.
Also, LiftOffs gigantic button at the top is an eyesore. I don't find the UI as well done.
This lack of gestures actually makes me want to give it a go. I've never once used gestures on purpose, I always just accidentally do stuff.
Edit: seems pretty sweet!! It handles instances in a really weird way. If you leave the default lemmy.world account available and don't login, you can't interact with posts from that instance even if you are logged in with an account from another instance.
If I login on both, all of my post and comment history I assume would be split between the relevant account. Weird.
I really like the UI and performance of the app overall though.
I'd like the ability to open links with my browser of choice instead of the default in-app browser.
