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

[ APP STORE UPDATE ] Mlem for Lemmy 1.1.1: 0.19 Compatibility (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Mlem 1.1.1 is now available on the App Store, bringing 0.19 compatibility, new icons, and some highly-requested features!

Major Features

0.19 compatibility. Mlem is now up to date with the latest Lemmy (0.19.0-rc.12, as of this posting), meaning that users on lemmy.ml, lemmy.sdf.org, and other instances running bleeding-edge beta builds can once again use Mlem!
New default app icon designed by our very own Sjmarf. The classic Clay/s icons are still available in Settings > Appearance > App Icon, where you will find another new icon (Alien) and a neater icon organization system.
Tapping the Feeds, Inbox, and Profile icon now scrolls to the top if you are already in that tab

Minor Features

Updated the image viewer. It now appears much faster, and allows saving and sharing the image via context menu (long press).
Jump button can now be placed in the center
User labels can now display multiple flairs, including a new "banned” flair
Added top 3/6/9 months sort modes
Rewrote inbox backend. It should still behave the same, but it’s much more efficient now.
Added context menus to search results
Search bar is now always shown in the search tab
Improved “no posts found” message
Added a reset button to the Widget Wizard
Adjusted haptic feedback
Improved account deletion page

Bug Fixes

Fixed compact comments not appropriately displaying vote status when net votes are displayed
Fixed crashes and state loss when moving to the background on iPad

Cheers,

Thanks! It's great!

Really love the continuous stream of improvements 🙌 I just feel the new image viewer has taken features away and placed them behind additional taps… I know it’s not a major thing but I wish we could toggle in the settings which viewer we want to use 🙏

Thanks for the feedback! We're always trying to balance efficient engineering and streamlined design with a rich feature set--which features have you wish were more immediately available? For engineering reasons, the sheet is here to stay, but we can look into extracting key features up to the top level.

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

Ah that's a bummer... I liked having the option to edit the image and extract subjects right from the get go, which now requires an extra long press to access 'quick look'. I'd like to have quick look open by default

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

We'll look a little deeper into whether that's a feasible toggle--if it can be done without introducing too much technical overhead, I can see the use case justifying the added complexity.

The ability to change the app icon isn't functioning as it should after this update.

Also, the icon for saved status indicator for posts seems to be present whether you want it or not.

Thanks for the bug reports!

Would you mind sharing some more info to help us debug?

Device
iOS version
Affected icons (can you not change the icon at all, or is it only particular icons that are broken?)
Affected post sizes

Thanks!

• iPhone 14 Pro

• iOS 17.1.2

• icons just don't change on the home screen. Doesn't matter which. However, upon updating to iOS 17.2 it seems to be working again.

•Compact posts will show the saved status. Headline and Large are unaffected.

Thanks!

Glad to hear the icons are working--I'm going to put that down as an iOS issue and reopen it if it reappears. We'll take a look at compact posts, customization should work in the next build.
