Fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. So you'd pick it up and your finger would naturally fall on the sensor, so that by the time you look at the screen, it's unlocked.

I still like "Tell my WiFi love her".

Kids misbehaving in school. "Kids are so rude these days." "Young people don't show respect anymore."

I'm pretty sure that every generation had its bad eggs in the classroom and nothing has changed.

I'm not sure if paying for your groceries makes you entitled.

This rebrand is so dumb in so many ways.

I like the idea behind the community but it is a terrible name. Without reading an explanation, most people would assume it was some toxic, misogynistic group. I only know what it refers to because I bothered reading some of the comments here.

I'm sure there are much better names, such as Positive Masculinity for example.

If I go to somecommunity@lemmy.world while I am logged in to my lemm.ee account and tap the share icon, it creates a link to somecommunity@lemm.ee when it should be @lemmy.world.

The Prestige is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

In reddit apps, whenever you create a new post based on a URL, the post title gets suggested from the link title. Can we get this feature in Liftoff?

I'm a high school teacher and I recently was discussing this. Protip: don't talk to 14 year olds about how if something is in between hard and soft, it's firm. 🙄

One of the many reasons I will only ever buy Pixel phones. No bloatware.

Currently I have to use lemmy in my browser to access mod tools. Will these be brought to Liftoff?

I trialled 5 different lemmy apps for Android and IMO Liftoff was the standout best. Looks good, runs smooth and the dev is quick to fix bugs and issue updates.

If I go directly to lemm.ee in the browser (Chrome), log in, and change the view to Subscribed, I often see posts from communities I am not subscribed to.

To reproduce:

  1. Go into a post
  2. Upvote a comment. Observe that the up arrow has changed colour
  3. Exit the post back to the main page
  4. Return to the same post and find the comment. The up arrow will no longer be coloured.

When I go to my profile, on the About tab there is a list of my subscribed communities. But it only shows the community name, not the instance. If I have subscribed to multiple communities with the same name, there's no way to tell them apart.

For example I can see three entries for "!android". Would be nice to know which is which.

Yeah it's a bit of a weird situation, isn't it? Same names but different communities. I actually think this is a bit of a barrier to new users. It's not an intuitive situation and doesn't immediately make sense. I think it adds to the "this is all too confusing" problem that is inherent in the fediverse.

I love these guys. Grab a few seeds from a local park, take them home and watch them sprout.

The Moreton Bay Chestnut (aka black bean tree, or three bean tree) is native to south east Queensland and grows into a large tree, unless kept in a pot.

So we have separate Android communities running on separate instances. I can't see how this community splintering can be a good thing.

When I post a comment reply, the reply isn't visible after I hit the post button. I need to manually refresh the page to make it appear. Seems that it would make more sense for it to appear immediately, otherwise users might think it didn't even post.
