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.

In the new beta, when a user taps the thumbnail of an image or link post, it opens in a media viewer entitled "quicklook".
QuickLook is the built in quick media viewer on most of Apple’s platforms. You can access it but selecting a file and pressing space bar on macOS or tapping on a file in files on iOS. Apps can also integrate QuickLook to view files. Essentially it’s just an easy way to show a file without having to do a lot of work
Sloppy swipe down is ready, you should be able to do that very soon :)
Works great, you guys rock!
😊😇
Oops, looks like you can load the QuickLook screen from the post page - not sure why it didn't work for a couple of the ones I tried!
