Known Issues (In progress)
There are a few bugs still that we’re working through and we really appreciate all the support from the community helping us Beta test. Here are some of the known issues we’re working on:
- User and community link opening within the app is finicky #107
- Separate default comment sort from default post sort
- New sort in community page’s posts sometimes not working properly
- Unclear usage of everything feed causing seemingly duplicated posts across the difference instances.
- Check here for a full list

Are you gonna intergrate kbin ?
Love the new update! Are you guys considering adding post/comment text size adjustment as well (rather than just title/header)?
eta: It would also be great to be able to see the bottom navigation when viewing an instance/community page. The little autocorrect bubble is a bit wonky when writing comments as well.
Yes please! came here to say the same thing. Default comments are a little too small
Everyday it gets harder to pick a lemmy app to use that isn’t Jerboa. Lmfao. This is great! Atm im between this and Thunder.
I do have one issue i see wasn’t fixed, but i believe someone has mentioned it. Which is I cannot see content if i go directly to an NSFW sub. It acts like there isnt anything there, but i know I’m able to as I can see it in the everything feed and subscribed feed.
There’s a few bugs around NSFW, I hadn’t gotten to those yet but I will!

This leverages an abandoned foundation called lemmur. Those original open source devs laid a great foundation
We’re keeping the Foss dream alive
Coming from Apollo (RIP and o7,) I love this app so far!
First of all, great app. Question though: it seems there’s no button to block communities, am I missing it or hasn’t it been added (yet)?
You can from the 3 dots on the community page.
There is however a bug where if you use the everything -> all feed blocked communities will still show up. Working on a fix for that
Just wanted to check that I’m on the correct version, TestFlight is showing v0.0.1(11) rather than 0.9.18
Awesome release loving the app!
Edit: I downloaded, the app from the app store, It seem to crash a lot when logged in, I wonder if its related to the instance Im logged in, currently using lemmy.world.
Shouldn’t be. Many of us, myself included are using lemmy.world and liftoff as a daily driver.
Found out it was a lemmy.world issue. I had a lemmy.ml account tried logging in with it and that seem to fixed the problem. I guess it is related to the switch to http which happen in lemmy 0.18 while lemmy.world is still in 0.17.
Edit: While still using lemmy.world account, some observation I saw, It seem to crash only when viewing the first screen you encounter when opening the app, if you wait long enough there. If viewing directly to a community it works just fine.
Strange, been trying out a lot of stuff, using 0.9.18 and its just crashes for me everytime I visit the first page. I did observe that it seem to work fine if viewing directly a community when logged in, I gave up for now, I think it has something to do with the lemmy 0.18 update perhaps it will fix it self once lemmy.world gets updated to 0.18 or so.
Just installed the app via the playstore. I needed to use the website to be able to access it.
BTW, rating can’t be correct:
Content rating PEGI 18 • Extreme violenceI like how you can add multiple accounts and get an overview of all the subscribed channels in 1 view. Posting seems to be an issue yet, at least here with multiple acocunts. (probably pebkac issue, as it’s less then an hour on the device)
This I’m sure is due to the fact that people can upload nsfw posts, even though it can be moderated.
Would love support here if any one has experience with the play store in this area
Just installed it and loving it so far, it’s great that we’re getting options now.
Just installed the app and really like it so far. Keep up the great work!
I’d love to see the ability to hide read posts. I’m coming from baconreader and loved that feature.
Love the app! One issue I’m having that is keeping me hopping back and forth between apps is download links don’t work for me in the integrated browser. Could you possibly add the option to open in external browser?
Yes that PR is open and this functionality will be in the next release
Any plans to add comment collapsing? Sorry, I’m new to the app, play store installed
Edit: jk, figured it out. Press and hold
Trying to log in with lemme.ee, having issues. It tells me it can’t find the instance.
I’ve got one suggestion so far and it’s adding “block community” below “block user” when pulling up that menu on a post
