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.

I can tell you that this feature works pretty great but at its current state it has a few caveats, unlike in many other platforms links in the Lemmy platform, might take many shapes So, in order to resolve them all, we need to ask the Lemmy servers about those links, that query sometimes takes up to 10 seconds, and in the current implementation, that’s 10 seconds where nothing seem to happen on screen,
So not only is it a massive change in the codebase behind the scene also, it leaves a bitter taste in terms of UX :/ So I’d wager this still needs a little bit of work
How often are you clicking on links for new communities - I assume not too often. So maybe a small kitten message with “redirecting… this may take a few seconds” wouldn’t be too bad for now (at least for me).
But I’m also no dev and have no clue how any of this would be implemented haha
I’d say it’s looking pretty solid

This looks more than pretty solid imho - that’s nearly seamless, very cool!
Hm forgot to switch accounts, this is the account I use to test all sorts of crazy shit XD
