Mlem for Lemmy

Seeing the current upvotes is nice, but being able to see both the upvotes and downvotes separately is also a great feature! So far, every implementation I’ve seen so far has only had one or the other. It would be awesome if it was at least an option in settings to choose or better yet, you could see both

Is it possible to search posts? The search tab only seems to search communities.

The recent update re-arranged the buttons and put the comment/post time in the center of the view, which is a bit distracting/unbalanced IMO.

I re-arranged the buttons and made them in a darker grey than pure white (comment text), so the comment text is more in focus. I also removed the clock-icon as it is unnecessary IMO (it adds no value since the time is already clearly visible).

I would personally remove the buttons entirely and just keep the vote count and time at the top bar, but I can see that not everyone is a fan of minimalism UI. Maybe we can get that as an optional compact comment view.

(This is just a mockup, I am a designer but not a dev. I also submitted this via TestFlight feedback.)

Hiding read posts in subscribed not working on pull to refresh.

Does work in all feed however.

Is there a way to pinch to zoom on images? If so, I’m missing it.

TIA

Just curious: are themes, maybe even custom themes, a thing on the development roadmap?

Is there a place to tap to do this? Long press doesn’t seem to bring up a context menu.

It's here: the last big update before we apply to the App Store! We've got some exciting new features and a bunch of awesome fixes for you:

NEW ADDITIONS

• Back by popular demand: the old compact mode! We've given it a little bit of a touch-up in the process. The previous not-very-compact compact mode is now called "headline," and large is still, well, large.
• New search UX: We gave community search a whole tab of its own, featuring recent search history (clearable, of course) and a much smoother UI. Keep an eye on that tab--we've got big plans for it down the road.
• Reporting Content. We added ability to report posts and comments via context or the ellipsis menu. These reports will be sent to community moderators.

BUG FIXES

• Optimized image loading to improve scroll performance significantly
• Fixed spelling mistake (thanks J0hnny007)
• Fixed bug where link posts made it hard or impossible to enter the comments
• Fixed bug where NSFW tags were sometimes missing
• Fixed bug where new posts required a link and body text
• Fixed issue where comment times could show up with incorrect times

KNOWN ISSUES

• Cross-instance subscriptions are currently not displaying. This is a server-side problem, nothing we can do about it :(
• Link posts are a little choppy in the feed--we're working on smoothing that out

Keep in mind that this is beta software (though not for much longer)--there may be bugs, and we want to hear about them!

Thanks again for using Mlem! We hope you love it as much as we do.

Hey, Mlem Community.

You might have noticed our community has been closed for the past few days and that several posts have been removed. If you're especially keen, you might have noticed that we momentarily migrated to vlemmy.net.

We recently parted ways with the team member responsible for most of our community outreach. We had hoped that he would agree to smoothly step away from the project. He did not. On his way out, he used his power as the primary (active) mod on this community to shut it down and remove several posts. He also refused to relinquish control of the Mlem Official accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon.

First and foremost we apologize deeply for his behavior. He is not, nor will he ever again be, affiliated with this project, and we have enacted greater redundancies and shared authority to prevent anything like this from happening again.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

We continue developing, of course! The core dev team is intact and as excited as ever to bring you the best Lemmy app that we can. We've got a new TestFlight build coming down the pipeline soon and an App Store application just around the corner from that. The community is open, and we look forward to hearing all your voices again.

Cheers,

The Mlem Team

I might have missed this but all I seem to be able to find is the communities list and the local or all feeds. Is there a way to search for communities in the app?

Test post

Inspired by you, we hope to carry the torch forward as a beautiful, accessible, and easy-to-use iOS app for Lemmy!

Can we get the option to block communities from our /all feed? I’m sure ich_lel is funny, but I can’t read German, so I’d like to just stop it from showing up on my feed.

Mlem is licensed under the Commons Clause, which prohibits commercial use, even though the project advertises itself as "open source".

The maintainers have refused to accept PRs that change the wording to "source-available", edited comments and locked threads about the topic:

• https://github.com/mormaer/Mlem/issues/259
• https://github.com/mormaer/Mlem/issues/170
• https://github.com/mormaer/Mlem/pull/240

Is there a way to search for new communities in mlem or am I dumb and just missing it?

Seems that the timestamp showing when a comment was posted doesn't follow the device timezone. Most of my comments immediately show up as several hours old, depending on which instance I'm currently on.

Fixed in latest beta.

~~I’ve noticed that a few communities on other instances I know I’m subscribed to don’t show up in my list. Is this an issue with federation or the app itself? I’m also reporting this in TestFlight just in case it doesn’t get seen here.~~

I just started using the app and noticed that links in the post title are not showing in the app. I added the URL to an example post.

Tried a few accounts and it says I logged in, but then a error message showed the app can’t fetch my account information.

It would be great to have a more feature packed posting tool. Where I could select local camera roll photos, or take a photo, instead of a url. Editor options for bold/italic/code/underline/makdown-ish editor style. Are there any editor-based features in pipeline? Thanks!

I don’t know if others would find it helpful, but it sounds like it may be a good feature to list local communities, and perhaps others…

Hi, is it planned to make the app fully iPad OS compatible? I mean, that the UI is scaling correctly etc. Right now the app runs as the iPhone version on the iPad.
