The main thing I don’t currently like is how you can only left-swipe on a post (no right-swipe) and you have to swipe the exact right distance to get the action you want (short for upvote, medium for save, and long for hide). I’d like the option to be able to fully customize the swiping actions in both directions and limit how many actions can be performed (for example, just hide for left-swipe and save for right-swipe, regardless of how far you swipe).

As someone who’s looking into different apps currently, how does liftoff compare to Jerboa and Connect?

Yeah, I’m really hoping Lemmy gets a manual hide/unhide feature similar to Reddit at some point.

I read elsewhere that it’s not completely bidirectional when it comes to posts on a third party instance. For example, if lemmy.world and beehaw.org users both post to a thread on another instance that they are both still federated with, lemmy.world users will see the beehaw.org users’ posts, but not the other way around.

I haven’t confirmed if this is true yet though, so maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

This is where the Lemmy interface could use some work. It should definitely notify users when they are about to post to an instance that is defederated with them and let them know that no other instances will see the post.

Is it possible to subscribe to a Mastodon instance from Lemmy? Normally you would use !<community>@<instance>, but Mastodon doesn’t seem to have “communities” from what I can tell.

Yes, I’ve definitely noticed the stuttering.

I also whish the scroll speed maintained “velocity” for much longer. I often do quick flicks to scroll quickly, but unlike a lot of the other apps I use, Jerboa very quickly stops scrolling once your finger is off the screen.

This is my number one requested feature. The ability to manually hide/unhide and view hidden posts.

Absolutely. I was so confused as to how to login when I first opened the app. I literally had to do Google search to figure out how.
