Spoilers, subscripts and superscripts don’t work, but everything else does.

Markdown in general is unfortunately rather difficult to render. We use an open-source treesitter that parses GitHub-flavored markdown, which is similar to Lemmy’s markdown. Fully supporting the Lemmy markdown specification (spoilers, for example) would probably require us to instead use a custom implementation built directly out of cmark.

Both saved posts and saved comments are mixed in together in the "Saved" feed. This is how it worked previously when the "Saved" feed was in the profile, too. If this isn't working properly and you don't see your saved comments in the "Saved" feed, let us know.

In future, we'd obviously like to add more granularity here, such as being able to filter the saved feed by just posts or comments, or sorting the saved feed.

Yep! We fixed this in a TestFlight patch on Monday. GitHub

Yep, this isn’t possible right now. We’re tracking the issue here, and I’ll try to get it working in the next major update 👍

This isn’t supported by Lemmy yet. It would be relatively easy to let our users follow other users on the client-side, and show your followed users on the subscriptions page. However, as this isn’t supported by Lemmy, your followed users unfortunately wouldn’t sync with the web app or other clients.

It would get a little more tricky to show notifications when a user posts, or create a “followed” feed that only shows posts from users you follow. To do either of these, we’d have to make a separate API request for each user that you follow. If you follow a large number of users, this could be problematic.

One potential way to mitigate this would be to have a separate “send notifications” option for followed users, and we’d only allow you to enable this setting for ~5 users.

I think this is a cool idea. Following users isn’t on our immediate roadmap, but it’s something we could look into in future.

We're focusing on building the best Lemmy client possible right now, and aren't considering branching out to cover multiple platforms. If we do ever consider that, it'll be in the far future once the client is properly polished. Lemmy themselves are discussing potential video support - if that's implemented into Lemmy, we would of course try to support it.

Thank you for making Lemmy ❤️

I looked into the possibility of highlighting new comments when I added the indicator, but unfortunately there isn’t a support for it API-side. So we’d have to do it locally.

Mlem dev here - we've added an "Open links in Browser" option in today's TestFlight release. It'll be live on the App Store in about a week or so, hopefully.

Thanks for the feedback!

We are aware that swiping to collapse the top-level comment would be a useful feature and are tracking the issue here. The swipe action to collapse comments was added back in September, and isn't a new feature in this release.

I’ll look into the possibility of implementing this 👍

We have an update scheduled soon™️, and we’re bug-fixing that release at the moment. This is unlikely to be in that release, unfortunately.

I operate my own local instance that I use for testing, so we won't need a test instance. Thanks for offering though :)
