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,
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
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.
Requirements There are no existing issues for this feature. This is a request for a single feature (create multiple issues for multiple feature requests). Description This feature would help newcom...
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.
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
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?
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

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.
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).
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.
