Edit: Expired .78 because of a super annoying keyboard autofocus on the traverse page. Releasing .79 in about 5 minutes.

Hey all! Here are this version's changes:

  • Fix infinite spinning on profile page
  • Images that also have a post body now show both
  • Fixed duplicate NSFW setting
  • Keyboard for search now includes "@" for easy access
  • Sign in/sign up screens now include "." for easy access as well
  • Onboarding screen should render correctly on all devices
  • You can save posts now. They will be synced with your Lemmy account. You can view them on your profile page
  • All of your subscriptions will now show up and you can search through them. Also a more attractive and easy way to access them
  • Default Active search was added to settings
  • Settings was moved to profile. We will revisit this if it's a user issue (i.e. people can't find it, you guys don't like it, etc.)
  • Issue with communities having an "infinite render" are fixed

We're getting there!

Happy scrolling!

Looks awesome! Thank you! Any sense of when this is coming to the App Store or proposed pricing structure?

Best of luck! My addiction from Reddit to Lemmy has been seamless thanks to Memmy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

bro you are a legend. the speed these updates come out is ridiculous

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

What a world to be alive with those lightspeed releases!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I started using Memmy a few days ago and haven’t looked back. OP, you need a tip jar.

Question: in-line links don’t seem to be working for me. This is all I see when I try to use it:

Down the line, would love a profile specific NSFW filter…for science.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Totally not necessary but it's here if you insist.

Um, I don't actually see anything that you linked there. Did you mean to post an image?

And yea, that's something I am thinking of.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, thats what I meant to post since it’s what I see.

e.g. Example when I try to use it

*nevermind, seems I was doing it wrong.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Wow, this is great! And at last all my subscriptions show up! Great work!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The keyboard opening on the traverse page is quite annoying, especially since there’s already a search page that does that. Other than that it’s great.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This was a mistake. New build is already building...

[–] somethingisnotwrite 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you shed some light on what the traverse button should do?

When I click it, it’s just blank with a search box at the top.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Subscribe to some communities and they will show up there. It’s going to have a bit more stuff like trending and whatnot, not a fully complete feature yet.

[–] somethingisnotwrite 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah. If any other users have this issue, close and reopen the app and they will be there.

Loving the app so far!!!!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea, you can pull to refresh there too. I should have made it more clear with a placeholder, just didn’t do it because I have some other plans for it. Sorry bout that.

I always liked in Apollo if you tapped search it would bring you to the search page, but double tapping brought you there and automatically opened the keyboard. So if your goal was to actually input text you could do it quickly but not annoy anyone looking to browse. Could maybe do something similar.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check the new version. Sorry about that, didn't even notice. Simulator doesn't display the keyboard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wow that was quick, cheers. I’ve noticed that the keyboard auto focuses on the search page as well except for the first time you click on the search page after opening the app.

Not sure what the intended behaviour is but I assume it’s not that. It would be good if it auto focused when the page is blank but not when you’ve already searched something.

Don’t rush changing that though since it’s a lot less annoying than the traverse bug.

Thanks again.

You are doing awesome work. I hope you make lots of money or benefit greatly for all your efforts!

Is there a way to sort comments on posts? I would love to be able to sort them by new or top.

Thanks again for your impressive output. Memmy is such a quality app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

sorting comments is what i’m hoping for too

very useful for game threads on sporting events so I can refresh and see al the newest comments immediately

[–] ebits21 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

The traverse tab doesn’t update subscriptions when you select a second account.

Just fyi.

Edit: also I have to refresh the profile twice to get it to switch after changing accounts. I’m on .79

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meh, why wait hours when you can do it now. Fixed and updated.

[–] ebits21 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You’re on fire.

I still get the weird double refresh profile thing happening.

I’ve also had the subscription list add double entries a few times but not sure what is triggering it. Once it mixed subscriptions from both accounts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I think all of those are fixed now. Ironed out quite a few bugs in the last update.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I’ve got another update coming in a few hours. It’ll be fixed. Thanks.

[–] Ghostalmedia 5 points 2 years ago

Looking pretty good. It’s feeing like y’all are about ready to submit for approval.

Looks like y’all disabled screen rotation to hide that nasty rotation bug for now. IMHO, that was a smart move, and one I have 100% done with my apps to hit a release date 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Noticed a few things:

  • The star for subscribed Lenny communities in the top right on the feed is missing on my device
  • while the @ was a great addition it appears that the search button is now no longer there

There were both present in build 75 but disappeared in 78

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fixed the later issue for now just by reverting. I'll have to do something a bit different, couldn't use the standard Twitter keyboard type.

As for the former, I am experimenting with using the Traverse page for this instead. I'll be adding some other features there such as trending.

If people hate it, I'll switch it back. If it's mixed, I'll do both. Just want to see what user feedback is here and go from there. It's totally not something set in stone.

[–] dsm 2 points 2 years ago

I liked the old way, only I just wanted to be able to swipe from feed to open the subscriptions, but maybe people prefere this way better. Thank you for your awesome work btw

[–] CaptainEffort 3 points 2 years ago

Just wanted to say that this app has totally blown me away! Thank you to all those that are working on it, this is by far the best lemmy app that I’ve used thus far.

You guys should seriously set up a donation page if you haven’t already, I’d love to support the project!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

thanks for these consistently awesome quality updates

[–] simo 3 points 2 years ago

Can we have auto-read for posts once we’ve scrolled past them on our phone screen?

It’s between memmy and wefwef, whoever gets this first will be my daily driver :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can‘t set the default sorting type to new.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The default setting is for app launch. You can select the sort of the current session from the icon at the top.

It might be worth updating this automatically though once a user changes the setting, I’ll add this to the list.

[–] tenth 3 points 2 years ago

Awesome update! Keep up the good work

I am mostly excited about Saved now working. My only question is: Is there a way to recover locally saved items before this update? Are they saved to a file/database on my phone?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
[–] kynshp 2 points 2 years ago

Hi, thanks for all the wonderful updates! Two things I noticed.

  1. I’m still unable to see anything in the Profile tab. This is what appears: (maybe I’m doing something wrong)

  2. I’m not seeing the “@“ when the keyboard pops up on search:

[–] plushboringfrog 2 points 2 years ago

Loving the app. I’ve tried them all and Memmy is the one for me.

[–] flat 2 points 2 years ago

hey, would it be possible to provide a .ipa build of memmy directly on the github? I'm on iOS 15 and TestFlight doesn't seem to work on my system version, and I don't have a mac not the experience to build it myself.

[–] Majima 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every time I comment using memmy, the default score is +2 (2 upvotes), is that intended? Because on other client, it's +1

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Not intended and will be fixed in the next release.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are we supposed to be able to vote on comments yet? It just collapses the comment for me when I try to hit the upvote or downvote buttons.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Use the swipe gesture. From right to left.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ooh, thanks!

The amount of work that you guys get through is incredible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, love your work! This app makes engaging with the community all the more pleasant. I did prefer the previous way to access subscriptions, as it felt more natural to swipe from the same tab, but let’s see what feedback others give.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Exactly the feedback I’m looking for :). Right now it’s looking like we might just have both.

[–] Amcro 1 points 2 years ago

I think Memmy might be my direct replacement for Apollo! Thing i’ve noticed missing is that posts with links do not display body of posts even though there is some text when i browse same posts through the website. It feels like i’m missing out on some content. Besides that app works perfectly and love every new update with new features! Also this is my first lemmy comment!
