It's that time again Lemmings, and no apologies for that image. The My Chemical Romance cover is better.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently does not have an auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

  1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
  2. Select Storage and Cache
  3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

Don't hope too much. The project looks dead or stalled due to maintainer not giving news.

If not updated, once your Lemmy server gets on version 0.19 the app won't work anymore.

A pretty good app which also has post search is Thunder. Tho it doesn't have the same account switching capabilities.

Tho post editing in thunder is still not released.

Main dev had twins so no doubt he is sleep deprived at the moment. But you are right, with 0.19 on the horizon liftoff may be dead in the water.

[-] Tolstoy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Just went looking for it and found this on thunders GitHub: "Login to multiple accounts/instances, and switch between them"

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It can do that yes, but Liftoff is so much better on that point. It can show and switch the account used to view a post effortlessly.

On Liftoff, I can search a post with a lemmy.world, then switch to my account to up vote it or whatever.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

There was a commit 3 days ago so it's still alive. Live in hope!

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Looks like an automatic commit/merge.

[-] reddthat@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

Honestly, I still cannot figure out how to post with thunder... Maybe I'm missing something but when an app doesn't have a submit a post feature I cannot recommend it.

The only other app comparable is Eternity imho. Also there still is voyager for your respective instances. I frequently use voyager.reddthat.com. which is amazing

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 3 points 11 months ago

Currently thunder got so much better for posting. On the main feed or community feed, you have the blue or whatever color button at the bottom left. Clicking on it will hide the already viewed posts. But sliding it up will show more options, and the new post option.

[-] reddthat@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks! Honestly I spent about 5 mins trying to find it and gave up. It was "hidden in the shadows." but in fact the secret entrance is to the left, hidden in the shadows.

[-] Tibert@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago

If you go into the settings floating button, you can customise what it does when you press it or long press it for feed and comments.

By long pressing on the available options you can set press or long press to them (just clicking on the options will disable or enable them with the switch).

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Press the i surround by a circle on the right side when in the community view. The new post button is there.

Otherwise enable the floating action button.

[-] reddthat@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks so much! For me it was such an anti-pattern that the create post button wasn't available on the main screen!

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

And all I want is for you to learn how to use apostrophes.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I will blame autocorrect fot that one.

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah it can be pretty ducking stupid sometimes

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

6.5 GB this month, bit lower then usual because of holidays.

[-] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I switched to voyager and it has been working out well .

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I have been giving Thunder a go for the past few days and it is going well.

Still miss the RIF interface.

[-] Kallioapina@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I'be been searching for alternatives too in anticipation of Liftoff possibly not working with the new server versions.

After trying 4 different apps I think I'm gonna stick with Jerboa for the time being. Its come a long way since summer, it seems to be quite usable and stable now. At least works for my user preferences.

[-] Tolstoy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Didn't check for a longer time... Around 30GB and I was wondering why the hell my phone got full.

[-] Still@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

uh oh my cache is 16.9 gb

[-] skydivekingair@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

How do you get Liftoff to not reset to the top of the main page every time you leave the app and return? Even when I’m in a comment section or embedded article and go back I get an error and have to refresh which brings me to the top again.

And thanks for the tip, just checked 6.89 GB 😬

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

That annoys me too. When posting and I want to check something in another app and I come back not to my partly written comment, but back to the top of the feed.

[-] BorisBoreUs@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

17gigs-er-bites. Thanks for the reminder!

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

I had 22GB, also I haven't cleaned the cache since installation

[-] notasandwich1948@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

only 4gb, so clearly I'm not using Lemmy enough

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Damn mate.

[-] rarely@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

This guy wants to steal my cache!

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

2.96 GB and I haven't cleared it once. I'm a lightweight.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago

Hey, mine was 2.96 GB too! I've also uninstalled/reinstalled a few times now though, trying to get my subscribed communities to show

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Its* cache.

Goddammit, Mariah!

[-] idiomaddict@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

Anybody know if this can be done on an iPhone?

[-] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Nope, unless jailbroken. I have no idea why apple limits such basic feauturs in ios. Uninstall and reinstall the app.

[-] idiomaddict@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thanks!
