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.

Download Mlem 1.0.1 on the App Store

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the release of our 1.0.1 update to the App Store. New in this update:

Editing Posts and Comments

You can now edit your posts and comments using the new button in the context menu. Groundbreaking, we know.

Demo

Account Quick-Switcher

Swipe up anywhere on the tab bar or long press on the profile tab to quickly hop between your accounts. For those of you who use accessibility font sizes and rely on the tab bar info HUD, don't worry--we've made sure the long press gesture opens the HUD instead, and you can still access the quick-switcher with the swipe up.

Demo

Profile Nicknames

Do you have twelve profiles on eight instances using three names? Do you have so many accounts that you no longer know who or where you are? No longer! You can now add nicknames to your accounts and display them in the tab bar--or display the instance, or the username, or the enigmatic 'Profile.'

Demo

Compact Comments

Customizable Post and Comment Info

Only see what you care about. Just about every piece of meta-information about a post or a comment can be toggled on and off to suit your whims.

Quality of Life Improvements

Implemented aggressive background prefetching, caching, and processing to smooth out the feed scrolling
Image previews can be swiped down to dismiss
Read posts are now indicated by grayed out title text. For users who use "differentiate without color," we've added two different options to indicate read posts: a gray bar on the leading edge or a checkmark by the ellipsis menu. You can configure them in the new "Accessibility" settings menu.
Read posts can now be hidden using a new button in the navigation bar ellipsis menu
Added an unread count on the inbox tab (it can be disabled)
Organized and beautified settings
Refined haptics across the app
Added .webp image support
Improved animations
Fixed comments not collapsing interaction bar

Cheers, The Mlem Group

I’m on 1.0.1 on TestFlight and the scrolling is anything but smooth - in fact, I was just coming to the community to see if it’s a common complaint.

I’ll clear cache, uninstall and install App Store version and report back in this comment if that fixed it.

Edit: still happens with App Store version.

We've heard this from a small percentage of users in the TestFlight--we're still trying to determine what's triggering it. Would you mind taking a screen recording and sharing what model/year of phone you're on? You can also message me directly if you don't want to put it in a comment

Thanks for asking, I’d love to help! Here’s the video: https://drive.proton.me/urls/BB1V66QHW8#Q0Qu8p1Gv5xS

I’m on an iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16.6. This video is after I uninstalled the TestFlight version and installed the App Store version.

Thanks, this is very useful!

No problem! I have been testing all available lemmy apps for a couple months and mlem is up there with the best of the bunch, great work to you and the team! I do have a few feature requests - are those best made in the community here, in GitHub discussions, or elsewhere?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

GitHub issues are preferred because then they're on our issue list until they're either rejected or implemented. I do my best to put feature requests from the community on the issue board, but I do miss a few here and there.
