• Images in comments
• Default comment sort
• All of the "Top" sort options
• Fixed issues with askign for local permissions: See these commits for what caused this: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/commit/5a1ed47fd92f76c6b0931e4b2e5700584ee469d8 https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/commit/cdf9421e4955f7c93af0e750612e9db3dc4d6c61

Hey all!

For all of the testers, we have submitted a 0.1 build to TestFlight that needs to get approved. These usually only take a few hours unlike a full store release which usually takes 12-24 hours, so expect that here soon.

First, let me detail what is already fixed in the current TestFlight version and will be in the next store release:

• Sharing images inside of the image viewer will now download the image to be shared as an image, not as a link
• Link helper respects the theme and uses the URL keyboard for the link
• The post viewport should respect keyboard height and fill the remainder of the space
• Read icon now uses the correct theme/accent color (thanks ktgd)
• All /c/community links should now work (thanks ktgd)
• The last account you used is now remembered (thanks jderose)
• Search will automatically take you to the community or user if you include the @instance
• All refresh controls will respect the theme (no longer invisible)
• Added top hour, top six hours, and top twelve hours (I need to add them to defaults, I’ll do that here in a bit)
• Fixed image save/share not being present in compact mode
• Made sure that images that are both present in the URL and in the body of the post don’t show up twice
• Profile reload issues (i.e. if it fails to load) should be fixed
• Link info not displaying in posts is now fixed
• Blur respects the current theme
• Voting on a post in search now reflects that vote
• Modifications to the profile screen. This will help with load times when all you’re doing is looking at someone’s profile
• Performance improvements in the feed
• Performance improvements in comments
• Collapsing large comment chains no longer causes freeze/crash
• Performance improvements in profile
• Performance improvements in inbox

Here are the things being addressed that will be making their way into 0.1 TestFlight builds and should be available on the store either on Friday or Saturday:

• New swipe animation. Much improved, more performant, and without the visual bugs we have right now
• Error reporting. You'll get actual error messages now instead of the generic error codes Lemmy sends
• Markdown enhancements. Pictures in comments should be there, and more than one image in a post will be shown
• Editing or deleting a post
• Improvements to image viewer. I cannot PROMISE that swiping through images (like a gallery) will be there but I CAN promise that there shouldn't be any further issues with swipe to dismiss or issues with swiping to close some images
• Also, iPad users shouldn't have issues with viewing images in landscape mode anymore
• Other improvements (I'll list them as we add them)
• Other bug fixes (Same thing, I will list them as I add them)

Things to note:

I've seen some issues with subscriptions not showing up in the Traverse screen. I think this is a server issue, but I will verify that to be sure. I am experiencing this on Lemmy.ml and I think others are experiencing it on Lemm.ee. I wonder if a recent update (lemmy.ml seems to have updated) caused this. I also noticed that my upvote count on the profile has changed, not sure what that might be because of...

For issues, I strongly suggest reporting them on GitHub: https://github.com/memmy-app/memmy

While Sean and I do try to go through posts here, it's MUCH more difficult than it is on GitHub. We have an internal issue tracker that syncs with GitHub that we use to triage and develop roadmaps. It's hard to do that with posts here.

Thanks for all of the INCREDIBLE support over the past day from you guys!

Using latest version from App Store on iPhone 12 Max Pro

I’m not sure if that’s what it’s called but is there a way to make the saved posts show up like they do in the feed, with images expanded and such? Thanks!

Basically title. I’m finding the last day or so that sometimes comments will only partially collapse leaving several children behind.

Will we be getting mod tools to help mod our communities we may be modding?

Such as editing or removing posts if needed, warning users by dm etc

Unless I’m mistaken, currently it’s only possible to upload images from the photos app, but most of the time I want to upload files from the files app so that feature would be nice.

The app store says memmy hasn’t received enough reviews to “display a summary”. Let’s change that!

What the title says. In Apollo, you were able to configure that if you swipe a comment left, it collapses the entire comment tree from the current top level comment.

That made it easy to jump to the next top level comment after reading responses a few levels deep, if you know what I mean.

My Memmy feed is comprised of posts from my subscribed communities but most of the posts are sub 100 votes and have at most a few dozen comments.

I log into Lemmy on my laptop however and the posts in my feed have thousands of votes and dozens or hundreds of comments. Is there something I’m doing wrong? New to the fediverse

I’ve submitted the logs via email report as well.

Version 0.0.2 (17)

Reproduce -

1. From app bottom bar select Search
2. Type a string ending with @ (for example lemmy@)
3. Click Search Communities
4. Hard crash

For some reason all the community goes are gone but in another app, it is still there.

Hi guys quick question about memmy's push notifications. Is the backened relying on polling the lemmy api (at a call rate of one api call per second)?~~ Or is it connecting to lemmy instances via ~~websockets and relaying incoming websocket pushes?~~ (lemmy uses long polling not web sockets 🤦 )

https://www.pubnub.com/blog/http-long-polling/

Looking at the code I'm guessing its relying on a polling based solution (but I might be wrong).

https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy-push/blob/1e698a8bdb5a8c7b5e96f96d328fd6235094a006/app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php#L5

Just curious 😉

When I logged into Memmy this morning I read my feed then went to look at my subscribed communities and it says I have no subscriptions. Im thinking this might be a Memmy issue as all the other things work (I.e. profile, search and feed) but traverse isn’t working on the app.

I checked on the browser version on my computer no I can bring up my subscribed communities show up fine.

When searching for communities, it’s often hard to tell which are the most popular or active, especially with multiple similar names across instances.

Showing the subscriber count is a simple way to solve this.

After clicking on a notification that there is a reply to a comment, how do you then see all comments and/or see parent comment? Also notifications do not appear to clear on their own after clicking on them, only clicking the envelope icon which clears all notifications. I am on the newest TestFlight version.

That's really it lol.

I just don't have the best eyesight so I use a dark theme cause it helps me strain less, but it would feel even more fluid scrolling through my feed if I could easily tell which communities I'm seeing at a glance.

Right now I have to pause and scan for a minute to figure it out.

You ever realize that you’re scrolling through Memmy and completely lose track of time? 🥲

Memmy app is looking to hire an Icon Designer if you know anyone, tag them here!

After Apollo for Reddit was wiped from the face of the earth together with most third party reddit clients, there has been an empty void as Apollo was pretty much the only social media app I used.

Downloaded and played around in Memmy for a bit and OMG this app is beautiful.

PS: Thank you so much for also being back the swipe to Upvote/Downvote feature. I discovered it on accident by muscle memory from Apollo 😏👌🏻

As someone who spends a lot of time switching between the two styles of viewing, I think it’d be nice to have an easily accessible toggle option for compact posts, a la Mlem. Also, congrats on getting into the AppStore!

Would it be possible to better distinguish if a post or comment is a minute old or a month old?

Right now for both you use "1m" (where 1 can be any other digit).

This is somewhat confusing. Especially when you sort your timeline by active.
