    Contrast feels a lot nicer, thanks for the update!

    I wish there was some spacing in-between posts though. It feels like they blend in together a little.

    Edit: turning off card shadow in compact mode helps a lot

      Yeah turning off shadow is great. I should have updated the default. Light mode needs the shadows

    This is awesome, you’re getting on so fast!

    One thought - I wonder if dark mode is a little too dark, could maybe do with being slightly grey/blue and have post shadows off by default (but on in light mode). Love the green dividers in amold mode!

    Best Lemmy app by far!

    I’m going to join the gang of dark mode is too dark.
    I see that it splits the comments in half, so maybe if it is possible to add a grey mode that looks like the old dark mode, both sides could be happy.
    I use dark mode as much as possible, but this dark mode is migraine inducing to me due to the white on black colorscheme.

        Yay! I picked Liftoff because it was so much better looking than all those other harsh black apps. This is very happy news to wake up to 🥳

        will there be a fix for the sorting in our profiles not working? if you click sort by new, it does nothing :/

        p.s: thanks for adding the save post button back in 0.10.9 - saving post works great now.

        Please allow users to choose, I really like the current dark theme. Maybe allow users to change all the colors, not just the accent?

    I love the redesign! Looks so much sleeker and the colour for dark mode is better.

    Could we have a setting to disable swipe gestures please? Clumsy me will end up accidentally triggering the wrong ones all the time.

    Personal preference I guess but I preferred the greyer UI. I find the text easier to read on a lighter background. Be cool to have an option to change the background colours as well.

    Thanks for the update but honestly dark mode is way too dark now. Liftoff had the easiest on the eye dark mode before this so it’s disappointing to see it look like the official reddit app now.

    Please can we have an option to bring it back?

        I agree with this guy, I’ve loved every update so far but this one is too dark. It adds too much contrast which makes it harsh on the eyes.

        I cannot emphasize how important this is for my eyes, the sooner you guys can bring this back the better.

        BTW, can you provide more info on “compact view to be more compact”. What exactly changed? I have the feeling that the space within posts has been reduced but I am not sure. If that is the case then I preferred to have a more clear separation within posts (already disabled the shadow).

    Great update, but I am not a fan of swipe actions. Could you add an option to disable the feature? Maybe I’m blind and just stupid but I could not find this option in this release.

    Was the button to save posts removed? I figured out you can swipe to save, but it’s pretty cumbersome on long posts like this one

      especially since the new swipe favorite option is buggy. often it takes countless trys till it then works sometime. too with unfavorite.

    Is there a way to disable swipe-gestures? They do look nice but I constantly save or upvote random posts or comments just by scrolling and fat-fingering

    Hi @liftoff@lemmy.world, cool app!

    3 questions:

    1. In notifications there’s really no need to collapse those comments, could you make it that tapping it would go straight to the comment you’re notified about (instead of trying to aim at the little link icon) and would mark that notification as read (instead of trying to aim at the little tick icon)?

    2. Will there be push notifications?

    3. When searching via website I get to search throughout many instances and in the app I must select one, either lemmy.world or one I’m on. Also sometimes I can’t subscribe to other instaces’ communities because it wants me to log in so I need to use browser instead. I imagine handling all this federation is not an easy task, you think it will be possible to adress it? It must be the hardest thing to code in the entire app, isn’t it?

      Huge fan of 1. Definitely expect that to be the behavior instead of having to hit the link icon

      Second to this, when we go to the comment can we have it automatically do the in context action? I have to hit it every time. I post enough that I can’t remember exactly what they’re replying to

    Love the swipe actions! This might already be planned, but one thing I’ve seen with other Apps is haptic feedback during swipe, as you go from no action to action #1 to action #2.

    Keep up the great updates!

    I don’t have any suggestions and I had no complaints before. I really like this version and I can only see improvements.

    Thanks for all you’ve done.
