Just to check. The app crashes a lot, and that is fine. Still early days! But you do you get them? Or do I need to report them somewhere? If that would be even possible given I do not know what happened.

So far I has been:

  • scrolling
  • reading
  • upvoting
  • posting a message
  • subscribing to a new .. argh how do we call them here again ๐Ÿ˜ฌ subreddit

I will if you want but I donโ€™t think these will help much. Itโ€™s a hard crash: app closes

According to dictionary.com it's pronounced mlem ๐Ÿ˜€. They do go on to explain it as:

The sound a dog (or other animal, such as a cat) makes when its tongue darts out to lick its nose or chops is called a mlem, in onomatopoeic imitation of the action.

So given your avi, you just need to listen to your cat for a while!

Haha, I'd heard it called a "blep" before but mlem was new to me too.
