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.

Text link targets are hard to hit (self.mlemapp)

Trying to click a link in the top of a post is way too difficult.

You can’t open a text link from the newsfeed. You have to open the post, then tap the link.
Even in the opened post, the link is next to impossible to open if the text is too close to the preview link at the top of the post.

For an example, try tapping “discussion on Hacker News” link in any of the hacker news posts. 99% of the time it will take you to the linked story instead of the discussion.

Thanks for filing this! I’ve noticed recently that aiming for the text on the next line, immediately beneath the link, usually opens the link. Maybe something is shifting the hit box half a step downward? Or maybe it’s a nice big hit box, but the linked image directly above the link text is overlapping it?
