Official community for Mlem, a free and open-source iOS Lemmy client.
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?
- 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.

Just found this existing thread with an answer https://lemmy.ml/post/1237935
update on that: we have discussed it at length, and since we're a sort of collective and work from several different countries, it makes taking donations a very tricky legal matter. so, we're going to consult some people and determine how do that and how the money should be spent.
our immediate costs are on stuff like productions costs (apple developer licenses, Figma team account, etc.), but we'll have bigger fees in the future like paying for a server to host Push notifications. Nobody on the team is getting paid or plans to take any payment. there's a lot to figure out, so we don't want to take any money from the community until we can do so responsibly.
