    Loving the app so far. Baconreader transplant from Reddit. Nothing will replace BR in my heart but this app is beautifully done and I appreciate getting to have such a solid start on Lemmy with it! Heres to hoping I’ll be using it as long as I used baconreader!

    Just downloaded the app, and already like it a bunch! A few things I hope will be added:

    • When using amoled dark mode, you can’t see the divider between posts. Would be great if it was possible to choose a white divider instead of black
    • when scrolling up, you see the menu bar for selecting between all/subscribed/local, but not for sorting (new/hot/top etc.)
    • There seems to be no indication when you receive new replies?
    • would be nice if your own username was highlighted in the comment section, so you can find your own comments easier
    • if it’s possible, go directly to a comment/reply from your inbox.
    • maybe clicking the home icon while on the home page to go back to top
    • like someone else said, the add post button is a little big and distracting.

    Again, great app! Hope to see it grow and evolve.

      Definitely agree with this!

    I don’t know when this was changed, but thank you very much for updating the colored thread lines to be offset…as someone with a curved screen (thanks Samsung) I could almost never tell whether a comment was first level or second level.

    love this app, thank you 🤩

    edit: doh it was this update that added it. Sweet :)

    Is there a way to blur nsfw thumbnails?

    I can on other Lemmy apps but I can’t find it in liftoff. Its kind of a dealbreaker for me to have them unblurred

    Dunno where else to request changes (or if there’s like a feature req master post), but is it possible to move the post button down just a liiiittle bit? I’m clumsy and not super coordinated and when I go to edit my comment’s content box I accidentally post it.

    Thanks!
