Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.
- We welcome constructive criticism, but ask that it be both precise and polite.
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?
- The TestFlight link is here, though we can't guarantee there will be room left--Apple imposes a strict 10,000 tester limit.
- 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.

It isn’t the case for server-to-server communication, but as users we interact with one instance.
This is similar to email. For example, you connect to a mail server (via SMTP) to send email. That server then relays the message onwards through the “fediverse” of mail. A regular mail client does not connect to all possible SMTP servers. Does that make sense?
That makes sense. But sounds like the lemmy or fediverse standard itself needs some enhancements. For your email example, usually when you send an email and it doesn’t exist you get an error back usually saying the email doesn’t exist or was not delivered or something. Which is different than “please check your internet” or something.
I just feel things of this nature could be handled better. Though I’m not sure exactly where in the stack the enhancement lies.
