Will there be an iPadOS version available at some time? iOS version via TestFlight is already installed, looks good. Happy to have a Lemmy app for iOS now 👍🏼👏🏼
Mlem for Lemmy
Official community for Mlem, a free and open-source iOS Lemmy client.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.
- We welcome constructive criticism, but ask that it be both precise and polite.
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, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
- How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
- How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.
We're working on making the app work on the iPad in an upcoming beta!
Reddit killed my Apollo… I killed my Reddit… I got reincarnated as a lemmy… Thank You!
you're welcome!
Nice! As far as I can tell there’s no way to browse communities in the app yet, right?
Currently, no, but we are working on it!
Awesome! If I could make one feature request it would be to be able to browse through instances on the app and then see a list of all the communities on that instance and be able to subscribe to them. Keep up the good work!
Please add the ability to automatically choose a default account to log into upon app open 🥹
Any eta on opening images in-app and allowing download? Another thing i’ve seen is long posts show almost the entire text on the home page, instead of a like a paragraph, it shows the entire 7-8 paragraphs and takes up the entire screen at once. Would be nice to have that collapsed until you actually view the post.
Both of those are being tracked as priority issues, and should be addressed soon!
thank you for all the hard work you guys are doing!
One thing i just found on the new update, clicking on a community link !wellthatsucks@lemmy.ml crashes the app
It looks like that’s getting read (by the markdown processor?) as an email address. It’s not new - I hit the same bug a couple versions ago.
Thanks! Really liking it so far, as an Apollo refugee, it feels right home :)
Will it be possible to use the app in combination wir a kbin instace?
it's currently something we're looking into.
Just dropping a thank you for developing this app, looking good as Apollo refugee!
The app crashes a lot. Other than that long term I’d like to see swipe gestures for things like upvoting, like Apollo
Love the app and constant updates. Really appreciate the hard work you are putting in to provide the community with a quality app. Experiencing more random crashes in this version however. 13 Pro Max with latest iOS. Seem to happen completely randomly, sometimes scrolling through posts, or comments, or when submitting a comment.
sorry to hear that. please make sure to submit crash reports when it happens, as that helps us track down the issue!
This is a great start to the App, but it still feels quite unfinished.
- 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
The Accounts page should not be the parent page. It should be default login, any modifications should be through settings.
-
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.
-
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.
Great work! Looking forward to browse my own/all communities (and maybe instances?)
When I’m clicking on Messages it only shows my account name and some number. Is this still in development?
Edit: I'm also not able to edit my comment inside the app
This app has really a Apollo feeling :)
Love the app so far. Just one suggestion, a way to make text or comment text bigger. For me it’s a little too small.
we're working on a number of accessibility options for an upcoming release!
Was going to suggest the same, so thank you! And thanks for working on the app - it has to be crazy stressful.
Great update so far! Seems to have fully resolved the issues with duplicates in the feed.
I’m still getting a lot of repeats. Like, every time the feed fetches a new page, at least half of the posts are the same.
Yeah same here. I think it might actually be worse than before the update.
Thank you!
This is a very good beta. Excited to see what you do with it. I was a premium Apollo user, unsure if Christian has any interest in a federated app but if so I think y’all would make a great team. Regardless this feels like the spiritual successor to Apollo I hoped for.
@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml i can't login, it says "logged in to lemmy.ml as -email-" and a second later "colud not connect to lemmy.ml". I can log fine on safari...
Downloaded and will start to provide feedback and report bugs! Looking forward to seeing the refinement and new features come over time!
Is there a list with upcoming features?
Should all instances of duplicated posts be gone? I’m still seeing this occasionally on my “All” feed (I’ve confirmed they are from the same server).
ideally, they should bee, bu if you're still seeing them, please submit a bug report! Thanks!
I can help with Swift, coding, backend in general. I am going to dive in and see how I can help. Feel free to dm me.
Glad to hear you want to contribute! Hop on over to our Matrix space and hit our team. We'd love to have a chat!
Just installed the update, keep up the great work!
Great app! Just started using it and I’m quite impressed!!!!
I am having difficulties adding my account. It appears there’s a bug when you attempt to log in with a lengthy password.
that is a known bug for we're working to resolve
