This is how it worked in Apollo too.
Mlem for Lemmy
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.
I guess it needs a sort of “onboarding” the first time you open the app.
It might be more intutitive if:
- changing the text in the field to "Search..." or "Tap to Search"
- perhaps using the magnifier icon
- or outlining the field so that you can see that it's an input box.
Thank you I didn’t know about that and I was looking for that function 😅😅
Yeah, we're working on a better design solution for that, since it is definitely not intuitive the way it is now.
It’s fine once you’ve discovered it, but the lack of onboarding in the app means you’ll probably never discover it on your own
Onboarding is also something that they're working on.
Just making it a visible search bar would be a huge starter because right now it looks like a header.
The one that says “Community…” in dark gray
Doesn’t that only display communities that your home instance has connected with before?
For me it seems to show communities that I have never connected with before. I don’t know the specifics of how it works though.
I'm not sure. I'd be curious to know the answer to this.
Oh my...I feel stupid. Was constantly switching between the app and the browser when I wanted to look for something specific and to subscribe!
Same here 😅
Wow missed that, thanks for the tip!
