From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You might want to rename it considering that a company named Liftoff Software exists and has a trademark on the the term, "liftoff" pertaining to software.
Looks like this is a combination of lemmynade and limbo? Which were both forks of Lemmur.
I liked lemmur UI so this one is quite nice.
I believe this was Lemmynade originally!
Feels smooth. I wish there was an option to hide the bottom bar and to reduce the font size a bit. For now I'll keep using Jerboa, but waiting for it to be less "sluggish" while scrolling.
Loving the app so far. There are bugs but its definitely the most mature and has the best UI/UX out of the apps I've tried.
Yay more options
Looks good!
You might want to add it to the lemmy readme (or maybe we need a "awesome lemmy" repo with a list of lemmy software and resources?)
I made a bunch of feature requests to lemmy (stuff like reddit enhancement suite features) and most notably the ability for a user to block an instance, would it be ok if i will copy paste them to your issue tracker?
alt and the left key should move to the previous page like in web browsers on linux.
Cool! I'll download it and add it to lemmy app folder :)
Using Liftoff right now. Looking good so far.
Will it be on f-Droid ?
Can't login, it says my password is incorrect
Edit: before someone tells me to put in my correct password, I use copy&paste from a password manager
Is your password longer than 60 characters? If so, you should know that your actual password was truncated to 60 chars at the time of account creation. You won't notice on the website because the login webform automatically truncates characters beyond the limit, but most 3rd-party apps don't do this because it's an undocumented thing.
Basically, my advice would be to update the password in your password manager to be truncated to 60 characters and then try logging in with the app again.
That was actually the thing, thanks a lot.
Oh man, the feeling of solving an obscure issue on the first try without having to ask for any extra hints: chef's kiss. I'm glad I could be of assistance!
I am very glad, also impressed by that detailed knowledge, are you working on/with lemmy? I'd whip out an award, but here are only poor men awards π π
Nah, I was just playing around with the API and spent the better part of a day trying to figure out why authentication wasn't working for me (I'd been using a 64 character password π€¦)
By which component is the password truncated on account-creation? Imo, the web UI shouldn't do that without at least warning the user. Such long passwords might be a corner-case, but if the UI changes the password in any way before submitting it to the server, I think the user should see a big fat red notification. What if an account was created using a different client? The user wouldn't be able to log in using the web-ui because the web-ui refuses to send the unmodified password?
If the password is truncated server-side during account creation, the server should do the same during login, the UI or client wouldn't even have to know about it.
I agree that it's stupid and needs to be changed.
In any case, this is a lemmy UI thing, though the backend isn't helping when it reports a generic bad password error instead of notifying the client that the provided password was technically impossible:
- Issue regarding the ui silently truncating the password: lemmy-ui/#1120
- Issue regarding the backend error issue: lemmy/#3284
I love to see a new Dart / Flutter project take off!
Slightly smaller font would be nice. Opening links in the default browser would be great too.
Looks great so far though.
So my instance has updated to 0.18 and Enabled TOTP support - I have enabled it as I want to ensure my accounts are as secure as possible. the problem, no apps support it yet.
I plan to install every app for Lemmy in order to find a good experience on Lemmy. So I have installed it, but I won't be able to use it untill it supports entering TOTP tokens.
Do you plan to add support for this?
Edit: not sure why this was downvoted. I know some people are having issues with the implementation TOTP in Lemmy - I nearly did, in fact the code didn't show up in my authenticator app until I accidentally added it twice. (Then I removed the identical second code) But the fact the implementation needs work doesn't mean it shouldn't be supported - next point release should be fixing some or all of these things, so isn't it a good idea to be prepared for that? Also I've seen a pull request in Jerboa's github that adds preliminary support for it as well - but the Devs are bogged down with requests for Lemmy and Jerboa, so I'm not expecting it to make it through in the next week, no matter how much of a priority it is.
Now I know this app is open source and run by people out of the goodness of their heart too. And I will patiently wait for the time when it's added - if not work out a preliminary way to add it and submit a pull request. But my expertise isn't in interface and app design and therefore if I do find the time to do it, the implementation will be crude at best - I know next to none of the conventions specific to app development, having only used LibGDX, which is a game dev toolkit similar to XNA for modern android.
TOTP support will be coming very soon: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/pull/56
Still needs to be reviewed, but keep tracking this over the next couple days.
Awesome! Thankyou.
Looks ugly, but buttery smooth.
I think this whole situation is going to cause a GPLv4. I hope it does so that this shit can't be pulled on a technicality.
Why do I get no posts if I choose Everything > subscribed?
Edit: just updated and this option seems to have gone
How does it deal with instances on 0.18 vs 0.17? Can it do both?
Both Work for me
Nice
