    Scroll to keep collapsed bottom-most comment in view

    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.

    Filter feed by time

    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 ❤️

    Request: Share post as image

    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.

    What is happening with the Github page?

    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.

    Longpost woes

    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?

    Can’t login to Lemmy.ml with Mlem for iOS

    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?

    Changes to TestFlight Structure

    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,

    The Mlem Group

    Notifications?

    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.

    green leaf icon

    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...

    Mlem 2.0 is here!

    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.
