Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy

I just posted a feature request and thought it might be interesting to also post it here and see what the community thought.

What is the feature that you would like to have added?

When composing text, I want to select existing text and and format it, by adding a hyperlink or enriching it as (e.g.) italics

Solution

When I preselect unformatted text and

…tap to add a hyperlink, my selected text should be populated in the “show text” field.

…tap italics, my selected text should be wrapped in the formatting characters.

If I tap a wide aspect image, and rotate my phone to enbigify my view, the image doesn’t rotate with my phone orientation. If I escape the image viewer and then rotate my phone, the whole UI rotates. If I tap an image while in landscape, the image viewer opens it in portrait mode!

Ami experiencing a bug, or is this expected behavior?

I feel like this has got to be just me - at least one other person would be complaining about this, if it were a thing, right?

When I’m scrolling All, sometimes I’m in public or my kids are within line of sight of my phone. Would be nice to have it filtered from the All feed but not block it completely, still be able to search for the communities

Loving Memmy so far!

The only two things I’d like to see are:

• searching within a community (this is probably requested previously but I can’t search previous posts. Please let me know if I’m wrong here!)

• the subscriptions tab to become a button within the dock at the bottom. I frequently move between my subscriptions and I find it a little tucked away at the moment.

Regardless, love your work. It’s always a bit rich making requests for something that is FREE! So, again, thanks for all your hard work and feel free to disregard the above.

Inspired by this post over in Lemmy apps (https://lemmy.world/post/2777012), I wanted to compile a few ways to support the development of this incredible app.

Memmy is turning out great! Fantastic work. Here is my feature request:

Please consider securing app opening with Face ID or passcode.

There’s a good chance this has already been requested, but since nobody can search within a community, I can’t determine wether that’s the case.

Please consider allowing hiding of bottom and top bars when scrolling.

Thanks!

Or at least when scrolling. Or make it an option. Thank you xoxo have a great Monday.

I’m not sure how to call it

As searching inside communities is on the way I thought about how it would look. Imo it would be best to have to swipe down for a search bar to appear, like in some ios apps.

After switching to to Search bottom tab, I press on the search text field, but the keyboard won’t appear/cursor won’t start.

Where a comment has been made on my post, it would be awesome to see which post it was related to. It helps give context when there are 15 replies to 5 different posts since I last checked.

I'm not sure if this is a feature request or bug report. But I wish it was possible to mark replies as read so that only new replies shows up. And so that the notification disappears if there are no new replies.

Preferably I wish they were marked as read as soon as i interact with them in any way. (Vote, click or reply)

I am using Memmy for Lemmy 0.5.1 on a fully updated iPhone 13.

Is there an alternative link to the testflight? Thanks

It crashes when opened. Deleted the App Store version, reinstalled- same thing. Tried the test version, same thing.

It’s completely broken now.

Hello. I don’t really know where am I supposed to propose these kind of feedback, but here we go.

Did Memmy devs consider the option of searching within a community, with for instance with a sticky search bar at the top when a community is open?

Also, will it be possible to see the profile bio while opening one?

Cheers!

I’ve seen this recently and have been wondering. My guess was that I’ve upvoted this user three other times but that’s probably way off.

Lemmy is growing daily, which is awesome! But it would be nice to be able to see new content coming in, but filter certain communities and users at the same time.

I see comments where people say “just use subscribed”, and that’s fine, but I’d like to see what’s new, filtering things I know I don’t want to see.

For example, I see city communities becoming very active, good for them! I know I will never be interested in let’s say a particular city’s community. I’d like to block it and continue seeing the rest of all the new stuff.

Similarly, the same is true for some users. It would also be nice if the keyword and instance filters would be hidden.

Thus I propose a new feed view “All (filtered)”.

Thanks for all the great work on the app!

I was really distraught over the whole Reddit Spez-gate meltdown, and Memmy has been like a breath of fresh air.

Since the last update, half of the times I open the app I see All posts but in my preferences I have set Subscribed. The rest of the times it woks fine.

I want to thanks one more time to the developers who are making this great app 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I really love it!

Deleted an account from the instance but it still shows in app.

Reporting a small bug I saw this morning with a comment toggle. The full text did not show up when I expanded the link.

Here's the full comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/2049782. A couple paragraphs did not show up

If you highlight text, then click on Italics or Bold, it works great, adding the asterisks at both ends of the highlighted text.

However, if you just click on Italics without highlighting text, it spits out two asterisks but does not move the cursor between them, which is required to actually make the text you type properly italicized.

I think it would make more sense to put the cursor in between the markup when no txt has been highlighted.

It would be great if we could change the default sort option on our feed. The current default is set to All Communities and Hot Posts.

When I first open Memmy, I prefer to look at the top posts from the last 24hrs in my subscribed communities. I almost never purposefully scroll through all communities, unless I’m looking for something new to subscribe to.

TITLE, had the same issue with WEFWEF so I think it might be a lemmy thing but suddenly I can’t use reader view on any links that I open in the app. Anyone else having this?
