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.

We're back with bugfixes, bugfixes, a new icon, and more bugfixes! Thanks to all of our wonderful TestFlight members for finding and reporting bugs--we really couldn't do it without you.

Small patch today, but we figured that the fixes are important enough to be worth releasing ahead of our regular cadence.

Features and Improvements

Added a new "Classic Lemmy" icon, designed by yours truly, based on the Lemmy logo
Refined the onboarding flow. The instance list now only shows the top 30 instances, with the others accessible via search; we've also smoothed out the navigation between pages.
Refined the editor. Now it can be pulled down to only cover half the screen so you can see context while you're composing, and it can't be swipe-dismissed so you won't accidentally lose a half-written post.

Bug Fixes

Fixed images not prefetching
Fixed the first ~40 posts not showing up
Fixed posts loading after the end of the feed
Fixed large posts rendering incorrectly on iPad

Cheers, The Mlem Group

Great update! Are you planning on adding a hide read post button?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This option already exists and can be toggled on/off:

We are! We haven't scoped it concretely yet, but it should make it into one of the next few development cycles.

Edit for clarity: we already have a feature to hide read posts in the ellipsis menu at the top right of the feed page; we've got work scoped to add a button that floats like the jump button which can be bound to that functionality as well.

Yehey thank you! That’s the feature I’ve been missing in Apollo. Glad to know it’s coming to one of my most favorite lemmy apps

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Thoughful update, do you hace any ETA for better gif support?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right now we have a draft implementation--it's currently very rough (not even in the dev build yet), but progress is definitely being made. It is not scoped for the next TestFlight release (Oct 1), but we are hoping to have it in the following one (Oct ~15). That being said, these are estimates and not promises--it's a complex, sophisticated piece of code and delays do happen.

Thanks for the heads up!
