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.

We've been hard at work tuning our image caching, prefetching, and optimizations, and are excited to finally bring you a smooth and highly performant feed with none of the stuttering or jumping that's been plaguing us.

This build also brings a few new smaller improvements:

Read posts are now indicated in the feed and can be hidden using the "hide read" button in the navigation bar ellipsis menu. By default read posts are indicated with grayed title text, but if the system-wide "differentiate without color" setting is enabled we've added two different ways to indicate read posts: a checkmark by the ellipsis menu on read posts or a gray bar on the leading edge on unread posts.
New accessibility menu in settings. Right now it's just got the settings to customize differentiation without color, but long-term it's going to serve as a place to house all the customizations needed to make Mlem work smoothly and easily for everybody.
Updated thumbnail behavior. Tapping an image post's thumbnail opens the image quicklook and tapping a link post's thumbnail opens the link. Both of these actions mark a post as read.
Greatly improved the robustness of our haptics system, which previously would sometimes just stop working if the app was closed.

This build's our 1.0.1 App Store Release Candidate, so if testing goes well it'll be hitting the App Store in the next couple days.

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

Ahh, the scrolling is significantly improved, and the grayed out read articles was a sore point for me. Really great work folks! Looking forward to gestures to dismiss opened images. I also hope link handling can be improved. Comparing just now, Avelon is handling lemmy links very smoothly, while mlem kicks out to Mail.
