Mlem for Lemmy
Welcome to the Mlem 2.0 Feedback Megathread! This is where we will be posting changelogs for the _Weekly_ TestFlight (the Stable Pre-Release changelogs will get full posts), so check back here to see what's new! This is also the place to post feedback on the Weekly beta (or you can just open an issue on our [GitHub](https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/issues) if that's your style). **Please be aware that this is an *early* beta build, may be missing features you consider essential. See the "Roadmap" section of our [2.0 release post](https://lemmy.ml/post/19667288) for more details.** If you want to join our Weekly TestFlight group, you can do so [here](https://testflight.apple.com/join/W6ajfKQt). If you would rather join the Stable Pre-Release group, which receives curated, stable pre-release builds, you can do so [here](https://testflight.apple.com/join/YtE2Q5BQ) --- ## 2024-09-18 **Features** - Improved mark-read-on-scroll behavior - *This feature is only available on devices running iOS 18. On iOS 17, the old behavior will be used.* - Added dark and tinted app icons for iOS 18 **Bug Fixes** - Fixed an issue where swipe actions were interfering with scrolling on iOS 18 - Fixed an issue where image context menu actions would fail on certain instances using image proxies --- ## 2024-09-14 **Features** - Added image uploads, both for image posts and inline in post/comment bodies - Added compact comments - Added sign up to onboarding flow - Added a settings import/export system (Settings -> General -> Import/Export Settings) - Added the ability to save the current settings state and restore to that snapshot - Added the ability to export the current settings state as a JSON file - Added the ability to import settings files - Added settings migration from v1 (pending 1.3.5 release to App Store) - Added image proxy failure handling. If your instance’s image proxy fails, you can now choose to manually bypass the proxy and load directly from the image host. This behavior is fully opt-in. - Added sorting and filtering options to search **Bug Fixes** - Improved scroll-top-comment behavior - Fixed an issue where the image viewer would open at extremely low resolution - Fixed an issue where the comment editor sometimes wouldn’t submit the right text --- ## 2024-09-02 **Features** - Added two new color themes: Solarized and Dracula - Added the ability to include links and images in posts - Significantly optimized image handling, resulting in a smoother feed (especially in the Tiled layout) and a more responsive image viewer - Added a "new account" flair **Bug Fixes** - Fixed an issue where the image viewer would not work on instances using image proxying - Fixed a compatibility issue with versions running Lemmy v0.18 --- ## 2024-08-29 We got a ton of great feedback from our initial release, and have implemented a number of new features and bug fixes: - Added mark read on scroll (Settings -> General) - Added a default feed setting (Settings -> General) - Added a setting to adjust haptic behavior (Settings -> General) - Fixed the lock icon being the wrong color We’ve got a lot more in the works, so if you commented yesterday with a bug or feature request that isn’t mentioned here, stay tuned! We expect to be releasing builds fairly rapidly over the next few days. --- ## 2024-08-28 This is the initial beta release. We're still bringing 2.0 up to feature parity with 1.0--this build should have everything you need to browse and interact with Lemmy. Please note that post creation and moderation tools are not currently supported in the 2.0 build--post creation is [in active development](https://github.com/mlemgroup/mlem/pull/1262) and moderator tools are a high-priority item, so if you want to join the beta but those are important to you, check back in a week or two! We've also got some new features: - Markdown support - Tiled post layout - Keep place on account switch (allows you to switch accounts without fully reloading the app) - Guest accounts - Color themes Check out our [2.0 release post](https://lemmy.ml/post/19667288) for more details on the new release.
Hi Mlem Community, We are thrilled to announce the launch of our 2.0 public beta! **Please be aware that this is an *early* beta build, may be missing features you consider essential. See the "Roadmap" section further down for a full list.** We’re trying out a new TestFlight structure with two groups: - Weekly: this group gets a weekly build with the latest state of our development branch. Changelogs for these builds will be posted to the new [Beta Feedback Megathread](https://lemmy.ml/post/19667291) - Stable Pre-Release: this group receives curated manual releases that have been tested by the bleeding edge group. Each release represents a coherent development scope, and changelogs for these builds will get their own “New Beta Release” posts. [**Join the weekly beta**](https://testflight.apple.com/join/W6ajfKQt) [**Join the stable beta**](https://testflight.apple.com/join/YtE2Q5BQ) If you prefer the most stable, feature-rich Mlem experience, we encourage you to stay on our v1 until 2.0 is ready for the App Store. ## What’s New **Markdown Support** - Full Markdown rendering powered by our custom cmark-gfm fork - Rich Markdown editing tools built right into the keyboard **Tiled Posts** The new “Tiled” post layout renders posts in a 2-column grid, giving you the content density of Compact mode with much larger thumbnails. **Keep Place on Account Switch** You can now switch accounts without losing your place in feed, perfect for saving a post to a different account. This behavior can be toggled in Settings -> Accounts; you can also long press an account in the quick switcher to choose your refresh behavior. **Updated Middleware** We rebuilt how we communicate with and manage instances from the ground up to address the challenges of a federated platform and give us a clean, strong base to build future updates on. Backend changes aren’t very visible (for now--we’ve got some very exciting features planned to take full advantage of the new architecture), but they support a lot of the new features in this list. **Guest Accounts** You can now add guest accounts to any instance and browse its content without creating an account! **Performance Improvements** We’ve also refactored our entire UI structure to cut out a lot of inefficiencies present in the v1 codebase. The result is a noticeably snappier app. **Color Themes** Or, properly, a framework to support color themes. Right now you can choose between Default and Monochrome, but more are on the way! **UI Upgrades** We’ve kept the majority of our v1 UI/UX, but taken the opportunity to spruce some things up. See if you can spot what’s new! **Misc** - Improved cross-instance resolution—opening content not accessible from your instance now opens the content in-app using a guest session on the host instance, rather than in the browser - The subscription list can now be sorted alphabetically or by instance - Post creator is now hidden by default in aggregate feeds. This behavior can be changed in Settings -> Posts. ## Roadmap This is by no means a complete list of everything we have planned, but it’s the major outstanding items we have mapped out. If there are v1 features missing from this list that you’d like to see prioritized, let us know and we’ll work that into our development plan! - Post/comment improvements - Inline image uploads in comments - Create posts - Crossposts - Moderation/administration tools - Mod mail - Moderator, administrator actions - Moderated feed - Media improvements - Improved image handling (all backend work, but should improve performance) - Proper video handling - Post and comment searching - iPad support - Keyword filtering - Settings icons - Mark read on scroll ## Known Issues - You will need to sign back into your accounts. This is an unfortunate consequence of migrating the app from Lionel Hanners' account to my own. We apologize for the inconvenience. - The tile layout can be a little stuttery. We’re working on a fix with the “Improved image handling” item. - Navigation and tab bar accents remain gray after closing the composer sheet - Tall images in website previews don’t get appropriately cropped Cheers, [The Mlem Group](https://mlem.group/) *Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data.

On version 1.3.3, when adding an image to a comment without any existing text, the app crashes. If text is placed in the comment field, image being added will upload successfully with no crash.
Unsure if this is a Mlem or Sopuli issue, but I have been having comments be empty after posting them. Even after multiple edits they are still empty. I went back and fixed a few of them with Arctic and the edits appear to have stayed (which leads me to believe this is a Mlem issue rather than my instance). Has anyone else been experiencing this while using Mlem (possibly on a different instance).
Crashes on open every time. iOS 17.6.1.
Hello, Could someone explain why the Mlem app seems to be at the top of the list based on my iOS privacy report collected over a couple of months? It's a bit weird that no other apps or Mastodon clients reach such high numbers. The Ice Cubes app, for example, only collected 10 domains even though it's also an ActivityPub based network. Additionally, Mlem app's second most frequently contacted domain was a Google domain used to track app analytics, similar to Snapchat, Reddit, or Monzo. Can anyone provide some transparency on this? Thank you.
When on the feed, scrolling as usual. If I go to the left sidebar (usually by accident), there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to the feed at the position I was in. I either have to choose All, Subscribed at the top - or a community in the list, and the feed starts back at the top. Is there a way to go back to the feed where I was located once I'm in the left sidebar? Thanks for the great app!
Hi Mlem Community, We’ve been quiet recently, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy! Our development efforts over the last few months have been primarily focused on our 2.0 build. This is a ground-up rebuild, which is no small undertaking. We’ve solidified our backend groundwork, and are now well into rebuilding the UI with a clear roadmap to an early TestFlight beta. As we mentioned in [April](https://lemmy.ml/post/14763197), We’re also taking the opportunity to move the app from Lionel Hanners’ account to mine. Doing this requires shutting down the TestFlight, and since we aren’t planning any major releases against the v1 codebase, we’re going to keep it down until 2.0 is ready for beta testing. *Roadmap* We want to get 2.0 into your hands as quickly as we can, and so we’re planning to ship a TestFlight as soon as we have a minimal working feature set for daily use. That feature set is: - All non-moderator feed options - All (DONE) - Local (DONE) - Subscribed (DONE) - Saved (DONE) - Community (DONE) - Profile (DONE) - Search (DONE) - Non-moderator Inbox - View replies/mentions/messages (DONE) - Reply to items (IN PROGRESS) - Reports - Posts (DONE) - Comments (DONE) - Messages (DONE) - Account deletion (IN PROGRESS) - Persist favorite communities (IN PROGRESS) Bonus features: - A brand new post layout option - Full support for Lemmy’s custom Markdown dialect - Color themes - Guest mode - Sort community list by instance We also have a few features we’re making good progress on and *hope* to have in the 2.0 release, but might come a little later: - Basic video handling (videos play properly, tap to play/pause) (IN PROGRESS) - Improved iPad UX (IN PROGRESS) We’ll put out an announcement when the new TestFlight takes off with a link to join, and keep this post (roughly) up-to-date with development. Cheers, [The Mlem Group](https://mlem.group/) --- *Update 2024-07-24 19:45 EST* The v1 TestFlight is officially shut down. A massive thanks to all our testers, and we can't wait to launch the new v2 TestFlight! ---
Could the design and/or placement of the separate up- and downvote score be improved? It would be nice to have them where the main score is shown on posts and comments instead of in comment/post info which is very small and not where you look at first. When I saw the setting I was happy it exists but pretty disappointed that it doesn’t change the main score display of posts and comments. Or am I just overlooking that setting?
Currently you cannot view the local communities when viewing their instance from within Mlem. This is particularly nice for niche instances such as the one in the image, as well as ones like mtgzone.
It’s great how mlem keeps evolving and there’s some incredible work being done here, thanks :) There‘s sadly one deal breaker for me: mlem doesn’t scroll smoothly. It may seem like it’s not a big deal, but for an app that’s showing a feed and where 90% of the time I’m scrolling, it ruins the experience for me. Is there anything that can be done on that front? Or maybe I’m the only one who feels that way. Again, thanks for your hard work :)
Mlem 1.3.3 is live! Changes in this patch: - Added a Paste Link from Clipboard button to the Search tab. If the pasted link is a valid Lemmy URL, Mlem will attempt to open it on your home instance. - Fixed an issue where certain menu actions were erroneously displayed - Added compatibility logic for the upcoming 2.0 build This update has been rolled out to both the TestFlight and App Store environments.

Mlem 1.3.2 is now available. This update addresses an issue where sending private messages would fail with an "unknown" error. This update has been rolled out to both the TestFlight and App Store environments.

I’m trying to find content on other instances (primarily communities but sometimes posts). Sometimes I have the @-handle, sometimes I have a URL. I want to open them in my instance in Mlem. So far I’ve tried the standard search-for-the-URL trick which works for links on the web, but not at all in Mlem. How do I get Mlem to open a link to a community or post in my active instance? Or, even better, in an arbitrary instance I have an account for?
Hey mlem folx! I’m using mlem on iOS. I’m noticing that comment chains don’t always show up in the app. This happens one of two ways, from what I can tell: 1) the top level comment appears as normal, and there is an icon for however many replies, but none of them appear unless I share and open it with a browser; or, 2) I become eventually unable to see comments in comment chains, even if it’s a thread I am participating in. I don’t know if this is a known thing or not, I admit I didn’t do *too much* looking through the history here. I hope it’s not a repost.
Mlem 1.3.1 is now available. This update adds compatibility for Lemmy v19.4, resolving an issue where marking posts read on instances running that version would trigger an "unknown" error.

When I open a post I get an "unknown" error. This happens on every post, no matter what community/instance, whether it has attachments/comments/etc. Not sure how to debug it.
Hi all, The following post appears to crash my feed while scrolling: https://mander.xyz/post/13720820 It is a very long text post with some technicals, so possibly a parsing error in the text preview? Thanks! Worked around it by blocking the user temporarily.
Since quoted text already gets the pipes to show it is quoted is it possible to not darken the text? Or a setting to disable it? I already have per app high contrast set for Mlem but this really does not do too much.
Hello, when I relaunch the app, my control center shows ringer volume instead of media volume. If I go home or swap apps control center shows media volume until I relaunch. When I close the app it’s back to media. Lmk if you need more info. If I see it up I always wonder why I turned it up so loud, turn it down, then sleep through my alarm 😅 I already had to set up an automation to fix my ringer after my car mutes it. I’m glad my boss isn’t a hardass. Maybe iOS 18 will add a systemwide alarm volume
Maybe I’m missing a setting, but inline gifs don’t seem to work on the iPad version. Love the app overall, thanks for all your work!
Hi everyone, I hope you are well. I’m unable to login with my account in the Mlem app, it says "please check your username and password, if you made an account with email, check that you have confirmed it with the link sent". I was confused in the beginning, maybe I did misclick ? So I carefully rewrite my credentials and still got the "please check" prompt. I downloaded another client and it worked well, with the exact same username/password (which I’m currently writing this post with). It’s really annoying me I truly wanted to try Mlem, it looks like it has the best UI on iOS. My account is tied to the lemm.ee instance if it can help, my email is of course verified, and my credentials are correct.
At least recently, the hot filter only shows posts with 0 or 1 comment. These posts also get no more comments afterwards. This is poor. I moved back to Reddit because I simply thought fediverse was dead when it was the hot filter malfunctioning.
Mlem 1.3 is now live on the App Store! This version brings a suite of moderation and administration tools to Mlem, along with some other highly requested features. Cheers, [The Mlem Group](https://mlem.group/) -------- ## Mark Read on Scroll When this setting is enabled, posts are marked read as you scroll past them. Enable it under `Settings` -> `General` -> `Mark Read on Scroll`. ## Inbox Redesign  The "Inbox" tab has been redesigned to be compact and easier to use. - Replies and Mentions now use the same interaction bar as comments, which is customizable under `Settings` -> `Appearance` -> `Comments` -> `Customize Widgets`. - Each inbox tab now shows the unread count for that category. - Private messages are now labeled as "sent" or "received". ## Select Text Posts and comments now have a "select text" menu action, letting you highlight text from the post/comment and quickly copy/paste it elsewhere. ## Inline Image Uploading Images can now be uploaded inline in posts, comments, messages and reports. If you cancel before submitting, Mlem will request that your instance deletes any images that you may have uploaded. ## Save Images from Feed Images can now be saved or shared without opening the image viewer by long-pressing on the image in the feed. ## Show Website Host in Compact/Headline Mode  This replaces the thumbnail indicator for link posts, which was removed. It can be re-enabled under `Settings` -> `Accessibility` -> `Website Thumbnail Indicator`. ## Instance Uptime A new tab in the instance page lets you see the uptime of that instance. This is only available for select instances. The data is fetched from https://lemmy-status.org.  ## Better Blocking - Instances can now be blocked from the nav bar menu of the instance page - Your list of blocked users, communities, and instances can now be viewed and managed (`Settings` -> `Account` -> `Block List`). ## Performance Improvements Fixed an issue where subscribing to a large number of communities would negatively impact the app's performance. This should make the app noticeably snappier for most users, especially those subscribed to 100+ communities. ## Moderation Actions The following moderator and administrator actions are now available: - Pin a post to community or instance - Lock a post - Remove posts, comments and messages - Ban users from a community or instance - Purge posts, comments, messages, users, and communities - View votes of a post/comment. Only admins can do this right now, but as of 0.19.4 moderators will be able to do this too. - Add and remove moderators of a community You can customise how these actions are displayed in `Settings` -> `Moderation`. By default, the "remove" and "ban creator" actions are shown for posts in the feed. Other actions, such as Pin and Lock, are accessible via the ellipsis menu in the expanded post. These actions can be made available in the feed as well under `Settings` -> `Moderation` -> `Show All Actions in Feed`. `Settings` -> `Moderation` also allows moderation actions to be hidden in a disclosure group:  Or as a completely separate menu:  You can add and remove moderators from the "Moderation" section of communities you moderate. Users can also be appointed as moderators from the ellipsis menu of their profile. ## "Moderated" Feed The new "Moderated" feed shows posts from communities you moderate. ## Mod Mail Mod Mail has been integrated into the Inbox tab. It can be accessed by tapping the drop-down at the top of the Inbox page, or by tapping the "Inbox" tab icon when already viewing the tab. In the Mod Mail, you can view and act on both reports and registration applications.  By default, the unread mod mail count is included in the Inbox tab's unread badge. You can customize which types of notification are included under `Settings` -> `Appearance` -> `Tab Bar`. Swipe actions are available on all mod mail items, and the widgets can be customized under `Settings` -> `Moderation` -> `Customize Widgets` ## Modlog Added the ability to view the moderation log for a community or instance. The modlog for communities can be found under 'Moderation' in the community page, and for instances under 'Administration' in the instance details page. ## [Fediseer](https://fediseer.com/) Integration A new "Trust & Safety" tab on instance pages displays the guaranteed status of that instances, along with any endorsements, hesitations or censures it may have received.  ## Minor Changes - The Saved feed can now be filtered by posts or comments only. - The upvote, downvote, save and reply actions now display side-by-side in context menus, and the "Block User" and "Block community" are now consolidated under "Block". - The ellipsis menu in the expanded post view has moved from beside the post title to the toolbar, making it accessible from anywhere on the page. - Added the option to always open links in reader mode (`Settings` -> `Links` -> `Open in Reader`) - Added a new app icon, "Ocean". - Keyword filters no longer apply to communities you moderate. - Updated the bubble-style picker animation. - Removed the confirmation popup for "Report". - Pinned posts are now rendered compactly in the community view once read. ## Bug Fixes - Fixed the inbox tab unread badge sometimes showing "-1". - Fixed the instance pin icon not showing in compact mode. - Fixed sent messages being permanently displayed as unread. - The comment collapse animation now respects the system "Reduce Motion" setting. - Image save failure now displays an error message. - Biometric unlock now prompts for device password on failure. - Deleted and removed comments now collapse properly. -------- *Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data.

Anyone else want to be able to review the link text on hyperlinks? I appreciate how they are called out in a list below the post, but they only show the link text and not the href link. I would like to see whether the link leads to e.g. an untrusted or disliked URL [without opening it](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ).
Hello. Any plan to add support for homescreen widgets like Apollo had for reddit? Thanks
We’ve finished developing the full feature set for 1.3 and are pleased to present 1.3 Release Candidate 0, live on TestFlight, hopefully coming soon to the App Store! Cheers, [The Mlem Group](https://mlem.group/) -------- ## Customizable Mod Widgets Mod mail widgets can now be customized just like post and comment widgets (`Settings` -> `Moderation` -> `Customize Widgets`) ## Mod Mail Swipe Actions Mod mail now has swipe actions! ## Blocklist Your list of blocked users, communities, and instances can now be viewed and managed (`Settings` -> `Account` -> `Block List`). ## Minor Changes - Instances can now always be blocked from the instance details page, regardless of how you got there - Pinned posts are now rendered compactly in the community view once read ## Bug Fixes - Biometric unlock now prompts for device password on failure - Deleted and removed comments now collapse properly ## Known Issues We are aware of an issue where the iPad app crashes when closing it or switching apps. We have been trying to reproduce this in our development environment for weeks, but to no success. If you can reproduce this bug and have the technical fluency to build and run our app using Xcode, please reach out—we’d love to get this fixed, but are completely stuck until we can get detailed crash logs. -------- *Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data.

Hi Mlem community, We're putting the final touches on our 1.3 update, which means it's time to start looking to the future. **Mlem 2.0** It's been nearly a year since Mlem took off, and we've come a long way in that time. We've also learned a lot about the shortcomings of our initial architecture, but in the interests of reaching feature richness we have simply been working around them. 1.3 represents a broad enough feature set that we feel comfortable taking the time to go back and rebuild that original architecture with eight months' experience to guide us. Mlem 2.0 will look and feel just about the same, but the new architecture will let us deliver many features that are impossible under the current system, including guest mode and multi-account functionality. It should also be more performant, since we won't need all our weird workarounds we bolted on to handle cases we didn't know existed eight months ago. We'll also be taking the opportunity to clean up the non-technical side of the house. The app will be transferred from Lionel Hanners' account to my own, and we will be completely refreshing the TestFlight beta. **iOS Compatibility** Mlem 1.3 will be the final version of Mlem that is compatible with iOS 16. Mlem 2.0’s architecture is built on powerful new SwiftUI features that are only available on iOS 17 and above, and so Mlem 2.0 and beyond will only support iOS 17+. Cheers, [The Mlem Group](https://mlem.group)
We’ve fixed several bugs and made some minor tweaks to the 1.3 beta. We have one final beta build planned before we upgrade it to a Release Candidate. Cheers, [The Mlem Group](https://mlem.group/) -------- ## Minor Changes - Added the ability to block instances from the nav bar menu of the instance details page. **NOTE:** due to quirks of the Lemmy API, this is currently *only* available when navigating to the instance from a community, or from a user if you are on an instance running 0.19.4+; it is not available when navigating to an instance from search. This will be fixed in the next beta build. - Mark read on scroll no longer marks posts read while they are still visible - Added instance uptime support for toast.ooo and szmer.info ## Bug Fixes - Fixed the interaction bar widgets resetting when upgrading to 1.3 - Fixed sent messages not being filtered when “filter read” is active - Fixed the inbox tab unread badge sometimes showing "-1” (again) - Fixed user blocking not showing a confirmation dialog. It will now prompt for confirmation when blocking from profile; when blocking from a post, no additional dialog will be shown beyond the “Block” -> “Block User” flow. - Fixed incorrect padding in post report sheet - Fixed an issue where subscribing to a large number of communities would negatively impact the app’s performance. This should make the app noticeably snappier for most users, especially those subscribed to 100+ communities. -------- *Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data.

Having tried several Lemmy clients, I can safely say that Mlem is my favourite in terms of user experience, except one, even though I am sure I’ve read this is possible in Mlem I cannot find how to block an instance, which was relatively easy to do in Memmy. It doesn’t appear to be an option in any settings menu, nor an option in an instance profile. If this isn’t, in fact, possible, I guess this post is a feature request then!
**UPDATE:** Beta 1 is now available. See the patch notes [here](https://lemmy.ml/post/14664211) Mlem 1.3 is now available for beta testing!

The modlog for communities can be found under 'Moderation' in the community page, and for instances under 'Administration' in the instance details page. ## [Fediseer](https://fediseer.com/) Integration A new "Trust & Safety" tab on instance pages displays the guaranteed status of that instances, along with any endorsements, hesitations or censures it may have received.  ## Minor Changes - The Saved feed can now be filtered by posts or comments only. - The upvote, downvote, save and reply actions now display side-by-side in context menus, and the "Block User" and "Block community" are now consolidated under "Block". - The ellipsis menu in the expanded post view has moved from beside the post title to the toolbar, making it accessible from anywhere on the page. - Added the option to always open links in reader mode (`Settings` -> `Links` -> `Open in Reader`) - Added a new app icon, "Ocean". - Keyword filters no longer apply to communities you moderate. - Updated the bubble-style picker animation. - Removed the confirmation popup for "Report". ## Bug Fixes - Fixed the inbox tab unread badge sometimes showing "-1". - Fixed the instance pin icon not showing in compact mode. - Fixed sent messages being permanently displayed as unread. - The comment collapse animation now respects the system "Reduce Motion" setting. - Image save failure now displays an error message. -------- *Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data.

I have been noticing a number of posts missing from my subscribed feed. I went and looked at my community !left_handed@sopuli.xyz and in Mlem no posts are shown. However, if I visit the website, or view the community through other apps there are posts, as well as the missing posts from my subscribed feed.
I’ve seen this issue before. My All feed will only continue to load additional posts like twice, for a total of 75-ish posts and then says “I’ve found the bottom” or whatever. This was on my lemmy.world account. I haven’t investigated other instances yet. I’ve closed and restarted the app, still had the same behavior. I have yet to log out and back in.
I've noticed that the most current post here was 22 days ago. Is Mlem still being developed? BTW, I'm one of the [Beehaw](https://beehaw.org/) admins. Several users have reached out to me because they love Mlem so much. EDIT: I just noticed a few comments from one of the Mlem developers [here](https://beehaw.org/comment/2968021).
The number of new comments since last thread visit shown in your feed is great.  Would it be possible to also signify within the thread which of those comments are new?
I am new to mlem since trying out Memmy and much prefer this app. Very clean, easy to digest, and an absolutely adorable icon! However, I notice that posts do not get marked as read as I scroll through All or what have you. I don’t need to click on a meme to have read it, you know. Is there an option to mark as read on scroll that I’m missing? Also, any option to search within a community? For example, if I wanted to search “read” on the mlemapp community to see if my above question has been mentioned…
Steps to reproduce: 1. Tap on your comment and choose to edit it 2. Place the cursor somewhere in the text 3. Tap a key on the software keyboard 4. The cursor jumps to the end of the text It's a huge issue to me. I'd imagine new comers would move to another lemmy after experiencing this. mlem Version: 1.2 (847) iOS version: 17.3.1 iPhone SE Comment example: https://beehaw.org/comment/2613854
I’m trying out Mlem (looking for a replacement for Liftoff, I tried memmy already) and these silky smooth transitions are driving me nuts. I’m talking about the way text zips around when collapsing comments, or the way images slide in when clicking a thumbnail. I’d rather turn them off, is there a way to do that in the settings?
I love this app. One small room for improvement is that the browser icon in the web link thumbnail (see image) can be distracting. Any ideas? I'd, for example, place it bottom-right inside the image, as it's not a key information. > Illogical visual flow. We have seen slides that put the key information in the bottom right corner. ...Try to avoid those layouts if possible, in Western culture it’s preferable to put the most important elements at the top or center of the slide. https://www.ideasonstage.com/news/2019/04/23/2019-04-23-the-7-deadly-sins-of-slide-design/ Sorry, I couldn't find a more authentic source but the above is a support. That said, even if the icon is to be placed to the bottom-right, it'd still be distracting. Maybe increase color transparency, maybe there are better options.
If I recall correctly, current versions of iOS have a built-in translation engine. Items posted to c/All are in a variety of languages. It would be nice if the user could choose Translate from the … menu when viewing a post.
