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.

When clicking on a link, try opening as a post? (toast.ooo)

No idea if this is possible, but if someone posts a link to a post using an instance url it would be nice to have it try to open it as a post instead of opening the in-app browser

I’ve found this to be an issue as well, makes it difficult to subscribe to a new community in another instance that I find browsing All.

Yeah, it bugs me too. Even the /c/mlemapp link in the settings of the app opens up in an in-app browser. That said, I’m really grateful for the free work the devs are doing for the community. It’s still early days. I’ll see if i can contribute via code.

It's difficult to add URL handlers for this, however, it could be solved in two ways with a code change;

You can "share" the URL to Mlem, which can then look if its a post/comment url, and then display it natively. (tracked at https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/104)

You can copy-paste it in the search bar, which'll then show the same, this one is tracked at https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/83
