We've released a new update to the Stable Pre-Release beta group (and, of course, the weekly), bringing video support, more markdown options, and a bunch of bug fixes. We've also refined our design—check it out and let us know what you think!

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

The preliminary video support is exciting! Don’t forget an option to autoplay, please.

Sorry to harp on this again, but some of us really need a pure black dark mode to make the contrast ratio between text and background comfortable for reading.

Autoplay is planned--forgot to add it to the planned features. It'll likely be iOS18 only.

Pure black is also in the works.
