Mlem for Lemmy

Is there a way to cross post a post to a different community? Also, how does one gain access to the TestFlight beta version?

Features

• Added settings to control when account ages are shown (Settings → General → Show Account Age)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed scrubbing from the playback bar behaving inconsistently
• Fixed inbox pull-to-refresh spinning for longer than intended
• Fixed some performance issues when panning the image viewer on devices with ProMotion displays
• Fixed mark read on scroll sometimes not persisting read status
• Fixed image saving sometimes failing on lemmy.ml

Am I the only one that hits the story link when trying to tap reply or bookmark buttons? Feels like it could use a couple more blank horizontal pixel rows between the content and the toolbar.

How do I turn off the green leaf icon?

noticed that posts on my local instance that i can see in the web browser arent getting loaded by the app for some reason. this was easy to tell for low-traffic communities where i could account for every post

This is our 2.1 RC build; we are targeting an App Store release next week.

Features

• Improved scroll behavior when collapsing and expanding comments
• The swipe action editor now supports drag-and-drop rearranging
• Vote and saved readouts in the interaction bar are now colored if there is no widget in the bar displaying the same information

Bug Fixes

• Fixed inbox swipe action configuration not persisting
• Fixed interaction bar configurations, swipe actions, and keyword filters not being included in import/export settings

Has anyone else seen this error when trying to submit a report

Optional(Response error: ApiErrorResponse(error: "couldnt_create_report") with status 400)

When I collapse a long comment at or near the bottom of the thread, the viewer is blank and i have to scroll far upwards to find the comment i collapsed. I'd suggest to scroll to keep the collapsed comment handle somewhere in view.

I’d like to limit my feed to a rolling 1 week window so that I don’t run into the same old posts at the “end” of my feed.

I browse my feed by “new” and usually scroll until I’m caught up. I notice that I’m caught up once the posts are a week old.

Instead of reading older posts, I’d love to just have a hard end to the feed where there are no more posts.

Not sure if this makes sense? Or if this is the correct channel for feature requests.

Big fan ❤️

I know this sounds arbitrary and pointless, but I love sharing screenshots from Lemmy to other platforms.

If this is too difficult to implement, please disregard, but I’d love to see it.

Features

• Swipe actions can now be customized (Settings -> Posts -> Swipe Actions, Settings -> Comments -> Swipe Actions, Settings -> Inbox -> Swipe Actions)
• Added a TestFlight update notification banner with a link to the update post. This only appears on TestFlight builds.
• Added a slight fade effect to scrollable edges of the Markdown toolbar
• Updated the design of comments in mixed feeds

Bug Fixes

• Fixed slight visual stutter when scrolling to the top of some views
• Fixed incorrect background color being visible when opening keyboard
• Fixed certain animated media shaking when zooming out
• Fixed NSFW images not being blurred in the expanded post view
• Fixed multi-word keyword filters not applying correctly
• Improved error handling in post and comment pages
• Fixed "jump back to position" button appearing when when it shouldn't

Features

• Added a "jump to last position" button to the post view, which scrolls to the last position you viewed on that post.
• Tweaked jump button design

It seems like the versioning on the GitHub page is getting further and further away from the releases on the Apple Store. Right now it shows version 2.0.1 in the Apple Store, but the latest release posted on the GitHub is 1.3, dated May of 2024.

Apologies in advance if I missed an announcement that explains this.

Features

• Media Improvements
  • Added a progress bar to the media viewer
  • The media viewer now supports scrubbing. Swipe left or right in the image viewer to scrub; drag your finger up or down while scrubbing to increase or decrease the scrubbing speed. Swipe on the progress bar to directly move the playback head.
  • Added support for animated avatars. Avatar animation can be disabled in Settings -> General -> Animated Avatars.
• Added a setting to toggle post tap-to-collapse behavior (Settings -> Posts -> Tap to Collapse)
• Updated the design of comments in mixed feeds
• Refined the post editor to make attaching media and links easier
• Added a lemmyverse.link option to the share menu
• Added a "Blur NSFW" toggle to the ellipsis menu in the feed

Bug Fixes

• Community links formatted as Markdown links now open correctly when tapped
• Fixed custom emoji sometimes rendering as full size images
• Fixed comments sometimes not appearing immediately when posted
• Disabled autocorrect when searching communities, users, and instances

When reading longposts I often lose my place by either a) accidentally tapping the Feeds button in the corner of the screen with the heel of my palm, which scrolls to the top, or b) accidentally tapping the article body (either while actively scrolling or just holding my phone), which collapses the post.

Anyone have advice for avoiding these on longposts? Skill issue?

Features

• Links can now be shared from your local instance or the original instance; the default is now to share from your instance. This behavior can be toggled in Settings -> Links -> Share Links.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some images not loading correctly from lemmy.ml
• Fixed rendering issues with transparent gifs

Since today I’m getting errors refreshing my Lemmy.ml feed. Tried a bunch of things, including logging out of my account, and now I can no longer login.

When I try to login and enter the lemmy.ml domain, I get a red error text saying “Failed to connect to lemmy.ml”.

Tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling from the Apple App Store. Didn’t work. Looked for updates, didn’t seem to be one.

I can access Lemmy.ml in the browser and my account seems to be fine as wel.

I can use Mlem to visit Lemmy.world just fine. Can even refresh the feed and browse posts.

Is it just me? Or anyone else with this issue?

Hi Mlem Community,

Now that 2.0 is live, we’re simplifying the structure of our TestFlight.

For the initial development of 2.0, we created the Stable Pre-Release group to serve as our release environment. Going forward, we plan to ship smaller, more frequent updates. Under that new system, it no longer makes sense to maintain the separate pre-release group. We will therefore be shutting down the Stable Pre-Release group on Sunday, March 16. If you are in that group and wish to remain in the beta, we still have plenty of spots in the Weekly group.

We’re also changing the TestFlight timing: new builds to the Weekly TestFlight will go out every Saturday at 11am EDT (UTC -4).

Cheers,

Are push notifications as a whole not possible because of something Lemmy related? Or is it developer related? I haven’t seen any 3rd-party apps tout push notifications.

I just noticed the newish green leaf icon by some posts. But I didn't intuit the meaning -- does it indicate the age of the account? Old dry oak leaf emoji for accounts over a decade old? 😏 Acorn emoji for accounts opened today? Might be interesting to be able to filter based on these criteria...

After a year in development and six months in beta, we are thrilled to announce that Mlem for Lemmy 2.0 is available on the App Store!

We've rewritten the app from the ground up--it's still the same Mlem our users know and love, but with significant performance improvements, a set of new features that were infeasible in our v1 app, and a fresh new design that feels right at home with the latest versions of iOS. There are more changes than we could list here, so the best way to see what's new is to just download the app, but some of the highlights include:

Media Enhancements

2.0 ships with a brand new image viewer and full support for gifs, videos, and animated webps. We've even added loops.video embedding--link posts to loops.video will display the linked video directly in Mlem.

Color Themes

In addition to the standard light and dark, Mlem 2.0 offers OLED, Solarized, and Dracula color themes, with more on the way. If you'd like us to support your favorite theme, let us know!

Markdown Handling

Powered by our custom cmark fork, Mlem 2.0 supports the full range of Lemmydown syntax.

Enhanced Post Composer

You can now create crossposts directly in the post editor (+ -> Crosspost), and can even post to multiple communities from multiple accounts at once. The keyboard now also sports a comprehensive set of Markdown editing tools.

French Localization

Mlem is now available in French, thanks to pylapp.

And More...

• Guest mode: you can now browse instances without an account
• Added a new Tiled post layout
• Keep place on switch: you can now switch accounts without reloading the app. This behavior can be toggled in Settings -> Accounts or accessed by long pressing an account in the account switcher.
• You can now search for posts and comments

Compatibility Notice: Mlem 2.0 supports iOS 17 and later. If you are on an older iOS, you won't be able to download this update but will be able to continue using the previous version of Mlem.

Thank you to all of our beta testers, whose feedback and support has been invaluable.
