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

Apologies if this was already asked and answered. I looked through the list but didn’t see anything so I’m sharing info based on my experience so far.

Loving Mlem in general (working great on iPhone 12), but search is still a bit of a hindrance. Right now, the search function seems to be limited to searching for communities only. (Unless I’ve missed something?)

I would love having the ability to search for topics/keywords as well, especially as someone relatively new to the fediverse. It can be a bit difficult to discover communities if you have to already know their names, especially in cases where communities use names that aren’t necessarily intuitive or indicative of their content focus.

I’ve had a few experiences using Mlem where I search for something but no relevant communities pop up in the results - but if I use lemmy on desktop to search the same string I can see several posts with that topic/keyword across multiple communities, making it easier to identify potential communities that I might want to follow & contribute to.

Again, thanks for the work you do & love the app so far. It’s made Lemmy way easier and more fun to use for this humble reddit refugee. ❤️

We're working on it! We've got some nice new search stuff in early development, still working out the ux but it should be out in the next build or two
