Gk is rewriting the entire app rn. I unfortunately don’t have the time to help with it atm or it would be much faster. But be a little patient and we will eventually have it back to full functionality.

Everything will be returning eventually. It’s a massive refactor

If you want a stable version i recommend the App Store version, not test flight

Nah, the image handling is just very difficult. We’re using an animation library to handle the image gestures. It’s insane that there is no good image handling library for React Native. Boggles my mind how many basic things seem to be missing in the RN ecosystem that any app would need.

As others have said, you should check out Avelon. It’s my favorite Lemmy app after ours

It’s driving me nuts too. We haven’t been able to figure it out yet, we seriously have no idea. Trust me it’s the number one issue i have as well. Stuff like that is part of the motivation for a rewrite.

Sorry neither of us have looked at it, haven’t been in the habit of checking recently. I made a note to review it tomorrow

Mostly the stuff with lemmy.world banning the piracy community. (FWIW I think they have every right to ban whatever community they want on their server)

 

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.

Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.

But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.

We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!

That would be pretty easy to implement actually. But at least for comments we wanted it to be a short press like in Apollo. I use it all the time that way and would rather not have to long press. I think with some tweaking it can be improved, unfortunately we both just aren't react native experts so we're learning as we go.

I’ve made it so that you can also hold the Feed button to open the drawer while in the feed. I don’t remember if this is deployed to test flight or App Store though. If it’s not then eventually you will be able to do that.

 

Hi everyone,

We are aware that the TestFlight version is pretty unstable at the moment, with a lot of bugs and crashing. This is because we are in the middle of rewriting our entire state management. We appreciate the testers who let us know what issues there, are but please be respectful when doing so.

If you don't wish to deal with the current instability of the TestFlight version, please download the App Store version as that is meant to be stable. When using TestFlight, you get all the latest features, but that also means you get the latest bugs too :D

As another reminder, creating bug reports in GitHub is still the best way to have your issue addressed.

Thank you to everyone who helps us test Memmy!
