Ok, I admit, I've been lazy and kept using liftoff until the last moment, but that is coming soon with lemmy.world moving to 0.19.x soon.

I totally like how liftoff feels, very lifghtweigth and dark, so looking for a replacement that can manage multiple accounts, has a dark mode, runs in landscape and isn't to big. Any tips other then boost? I have boost and hate it's interface.

Dev hasn't posted in 4 months, I think he had twins, so he's off enjoying that.

Without being around to keep the app working as Lemmy updates, it's gonna stop working one day.

Lemmy 0.19 sounds like a big update and has a lot of new features that a non updated app won't be able to handle, hence today's announcement by the Lemmy.World crew why they've been waiting so long to roll it out since they're the biggest instance and don't wanna catch users by surprise having apps not work or major problems pop up.

That's my understanding of the situation anyway. Some details me be not exactly right, but close enough.

Oh, right on, thanks for the info. Guess I'll go see what jerboa is like nowadays

Good for him and his twins, but it's a shame. I've tried lots of different lemmy apps and haven't liked any of them except liftoff so far...

It took me a lot of testing apps, but I find Connect or Boost best for lurking, as I find them the prettiest UI.

Summit I love for posting due to having the best feature set, and the UI is there with the best of them as far as customizations, but I just can't get it to look quite as polished as Connect or Boost.

Sync I kept around for a while to, but it didn't have the feel I was used to with Liftoff.
