I’m here just to say THANKS! Great app. I understand that maybe it has some issues, feels a little buggy, but man. It’s an Alpha!!!
I hope that you can keep the development.
Kudos.

Hi, I found another bug: my replies in comments are not being shown under the right parent.
Here’s how it’s shown on Liftoff (and on the web page):

And here’s what’s on Bean:

lovley app but the keyboard wont appear when i reply ( iphone 11 ios 17)
Can you try the latest build and let me know if it still persists?
A third option for “view” in the main page would be great. Right now we either have the full view with a larger photo and article preview, or a really condensed one with the thumbnail on the left and a headline.
Not sure what it would look like, but maybe something in between the 2?
Also, a full BLACK/Dark mode would be great. Right now, some of the app still has a grayer UI in some spots.
A new build (2023.7.19.22.28) is rolling out to TestFlight now.
Changelog
- Posts, Communities, and Users no longer hide the tab bar.
- Added the ability to comment on posts. Replying to comments is coming soon.
- Fixed post context menu not working.
- Fixed toasts appearing in the wrong place on non-translucent themes.
- Fixed scrolling to top offsetting incorrectly in non-translucent themes.
Posting comments will be coming in the next build. This comment was posted from Bean 😁
How do I up/downvote comments?
This will be coming in a future build. Tomorrow's build will likely feature changes to comments.
Ok great thanks! On a positive note, it looks bloody lovely. I’m very impressed with the layout and UI. A few suggestions that are on my wish list for any Lemmy app:
A darkish mode: white text on black can be quite jarring. I’d prefer a white on a dark grey option.
Swipe gestures: I’d like full page swipe to go back and turn off any comment swiping up/down vote gestures.
Communities need to be in alphabetical order
Search button, click on it, it should put the cursor into the search box so I can immediately start typing.
I’m sure the list of people’s wants/needs will be massive. Great job so far!!
This is really promising! Obviously missing some major features, but damn is it sexy. When we can comment and vote on comments, this might already be good enough to be my main Lemmy browser app. Great start!
This username appears weird
It should be like this (screen shotted from Memmy)
Closing Bean pauses any music that’s playing.
Steps to reproduce:
- Play music from the Music app (or any other app)
- Upvote a post or comment on Bean
- Exit Bean by pressing the home button or the home gesture.
The music that’s playing would now pause.
Thanks for the report, I’ll add it to the list.
Bean crashes when viewing images from image galleries.
For example, this post: https://lemmy.world/post/925265
I’ve not been able to replicate this. What device are you using and are you on the latest build?
iPhone SE 3rd generation. Bean build 2023.7.22.2.35
Does not crash if I open the first image in the gallery.
Crashes if I open any of the other images in the gallery.
Also it does not crash if I open the first image and then swipe through to the other images.
Okay, I’ll see if I can replicate this. That’s a weird one!
Don’t know if I’m being really dumb, but I can’t find any way to post to a community. I can reply to comments, but not actually make a post. Also, the search tab has no search box, but is just an empty page with the word “Search” and no way to actually search for anything.
Read the known issues in the megathread post you are replying to. It is not yet possible to create posts yet. Search is not supported either.
Since Steve is amazingly adding more features to knock out our requests, I’ll add more requests.
Can we get collapsible threads?
Thanks.

When creating a new post, for some reason it says “2m from now”.
Refreshing too fast and too frequent when filtering the read posts.
The list keeps shifting up and down when scrolling and looking at posts.
I recommend that you filter on user’s manual refresh, not do this automatically.
