What does liftoff have that the others don't?
For one, it handles account switching much more smoothly than most apps I've tried.
While viewing a post, commenting, searching, or posting, you can choose your originating instance from a drop-down. Most other apps have to reload your feed and/or relaunch.
It's been really helpful for me whenever an instance is bogged down or acting funny, and I can just hop over without losing my place.
Liftoff is great, it's true. Sadly, it lacks the only feature I'm after : hide read posts on scroll. Saw requests for this not being answered, so I guess it's not coming.
Great app I admit, but a hard pass for me because of this.
I'd love this to be added too.
I want it to scroll to the comment in the post. I'm always manually trying to find the context of a comment by scrolling and looking.
I mean when you get a notification about a response and it takes you to the comment. It just shows you the comment. And then you click on Show Context. And here I was hoping it would scroll to the location of the comment in the post.
Oh man I didn't even see that in the menu. That is handy.
Yes, this is really handy every time world gets attacked. I still have my world account set as my main, but it's super easy to just switch over.
Does Liftoff offer keyword filtering or blocking instances at the account level?
A better question is, what does Liftoff lack that others don't?
I miss being able to hide posts, for example.
In Sync settings under View Type, you can enable the option to hide a post from the main feed view. In fact, there's a lot of additional features that can be enabled and customized, the options menu is enormous and it really can be customized to your personal preferences.
