Download the TestFlight beta for iOS 16+

This update is big, and there’s more coming later! This update includes these additions

  • New icon by the amazing clay! Stay tuned for more icons, including Pride! In the future, you will be able to choose between lots of icons, and submit your own

And these fixes:

  • A whole bunch of crashes related to loading communities
  • Some posts showing multiple times in the feed
  • (Hopefully) accounts being deleted between app launches. If this still happens, please either tag me here or add your comment to this issue: https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/74
  • A few issues logging in, namely when the server address included a capital letter, “http://”, “https://” and others

Enjoy testing, and we look forward to hearing your feedback! You can comment here or come chat with us in our recruitment channel on Matrix.

Cheers!

The Mlem Dev Team

    This is a great start to the App, but it still feels quite unfinished.

    1. Currently, I can’t select which community I want to view in my feed. Only “All” and “Subscribed”. Unless there is something I’m missing…

    Please allow a feature to be able to sort feed by specific communities.

    In the future, I’d love to have “custom feeds” available that can be a checkbox of selected communities. For example, if half of my time is spent on communities for /c/Memes, /c/asklemmy and /c/gaming - I could select “Custom 1”, label it as “Pin’s Favorites” and have it display only those.

    1. As well, I cannot search for communities that I am not a part of. I can only do that with the Desktop version at this moment.

    2. Please, please, please allow users to customize text, spacing & font options under Appearance. This will be extremely helpful with accessibility. I have vision impaired friends that would find the current sizing a little difficult. As well, for my own preferences - the standard font size is a little too large.

    3. The Accounts page should not be the parent page. It should be default login, any modifications should be through settings.

    4. Gestures for up & downvoting (like in Apollo or Narwhal) would be appreciated. Of course - this should be an option a user turns on or off in the settings.

    5. The current app icon is great! But in the spirit of things - it would be nice to be able to customize that as well.

      This is a great start to the App, but it still feels quite unfinished.

      well, it is an early beta, and, as such, is not yet feature-complete. But our team is working very hard to bring more features and fixes with every update (including a redesigned interface), and to bring 1.0 but the end of the month.

        I know nothing about swift, never developed an IOS app, so I’ll fork my own as I have wanted to learn about app development for some time now but was looking for reason / idea. Ill try to enhance, eventually I’ll contribute to the main project in a meaningful way.

        Thanks! I’ve never used a Matrix space before - looks similar to Discord.

        I’m really looking forward to seeing what you will do with the App in the coming weeks. While I’m not a developer - I’d be delighted to beta-test, and give constructive feedback about how the app looks & feels from the user perspective.

        Once things are up and running, this is something I’d love to make a donation for.
