Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.

FAQ
- When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
- Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
- How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
- How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

Pretty much, yes.
I always see this very basic not helpful feature request and wonder why people think that the devs donβt know about shortcomings in a pre-release testflight software and why some (few) people think that entitled nagging makes this community more likeable and the devs work more passionate π
I think people are just getting excited.
I don't think it's an issue as long as people don't start demanding things as if the software were trash just because is missing this or that. If something being missing affects you so personally that much.. then spend the work yourself to implement it or pay some devs to do it for you. It's free and open source software after all, anyone can make their own fork.
And what's more, devs can make pull requests to kbins git repo. So if you're a dev and you want to see certain features, write them.
But then I have to write PHP or JavaScript...
I mean, if you're a programmer, language shouldn't matter as long as you can think logically. After that it's all just syntax.
Feature ideas / suggestions β entitled nagging.
Feature requests are a good way for developers to know whatβs most important to their users.
