I've been reporting the font scaling stuff since the earlier builds, via TestFlight. I know the dev is working on them, because I see changes, but they tend to be both improvements and degradations. Most recent build revered font scaling support for the feed view, so everything is forced to a smaller font than I'm comfy with.
For accessibility's sake, setting defaults for people with unimpaired vision makes sense, but the app's text can and should respect the OS font scaling settings. Reddit blundered this in their own app by only suportting in-app font settings ("watermelon" is still to freaking small), whereas Apollo nailed it (by supporting OS font scaling).
Because Memmy is supporting a mainly text-oriented UI, supporting font scaling is pretty important to nail for accessibility.
