    Any way to tell if it’s app or server?
  • Thanks! That does look like a server error—generally 504 is a gateway issue. I suggest bringing it up with your admins.

  • Any way to tell if it’s app or server?
  • Could you provide us with the specific error message that occurs when this happens? You can view it by tapping the error popup or in the error log (Settings -> Advanced -> Developer -> Error Log).

  • Thanks for the suggestion!

    We try to only deprecate support once a version is basically unused—beehaw was the only major instance still on 0.18, so we maintained support until they recently upgraded. There are still a few personal instances running 0.18, but that’s an extremely small fraction of the user base.

    We have an issue open to handle those cases—we’ll take your thoughts into account!

  • This happens when there isn’t enough room on the interaction bar—we have some common sense limits on how many items can be added to the bar to try to prevent this, but the emphasis on customization means that we can’t always account for every configuration and screen size. Handling this overflow elegantly is still an active topic in our design conversation.

  • I've created an issue to track this. I haven't looked deeply into the technical feasibility--SwiftUI has some powerful tools for reversing layouts to accommodate languages that scan right-to-left, but I can't promise this is a feature we can deliver without doing a bit more research.

  • We haven't changed anything, but it's possible your instance admins have made some configuration changes--there are some configuration settings that can mess with image proxying. The Voyager dev brought attention to this last week, plus put up a nice page about it--it's possible that the sopuli admins fixed their config in response to that.

  • We're also on the App Store, but every App Store release goes through TestFlight first.

    What is happening with the Github page?
  • This is correct. The GitHub releases feature doesn’t make a lot of sense for Mlem, since we primarily deliver through the App Store rather than via source downloads.

    [ App Store Update ] Mlem 2.0 is here!
  • I assume you’re using compact or tiled posts in feed. We color the little arrow in those layouts but not the headline or large post layout (used in the post page) because the upvote button in the interaction bar is already colored, and coloring both looked pretty bad.

    We didn’t consider that the upvote button might not be present when we made that choice, though—we’ll revise the design for the next build so it’s always easy to tell at a glance.

    In the meantime, if you add the upvote button to your interaction bar (settings -> posts -> interaction bar), that should provide that readability.

    Can’t login to Lemmy.ml with Mlem for iOS
  • I'm currently working with the admins to resolve this issue.

    Update: We've identified the root cause and a fix is in development. A patch will be out as soon as possible.

    Update 2: The fix is ready and just waiting on App Review to release.

    Update 3: The fix is live. Thank you for your patience!

  • [ Community Update ] Changes to TestFlight Structure

    Hi Mlem Community,

    Now that 2.0 is live, we’re simplifying the structure of our TestFlight.

    For the initial development of 2.0, we created the Stable Pre-Release group to serve as our release environment. Going forward, we plan to ship smaller, more frequent updates. Under that new system, it no longer makes sense to maintain the separate pre-release group. We will therefore be shutting down the Stable Pre-Release group on Sunday, March 16. If you are in that group and wish to remain in the beta, we still have plenty of spots in the Weekly group.

    We’re also changing the TestFlight timing: new builds to the Weekly TestFlight will go out every Saturday at 11am EDT (UTC -4).

    Cheers,

    The Mlem Group

  • The leaf indicates a new account (<30 days old). We also have an issue open for a setting to always display the age indicator, for which we'd probably need some new symbols :)

  • [ App Store Update ] Mlem 2.0 is here!
  • Mlem is written in SwiftUI, which unfortunately is not compatible with Android. There are some promising projects to port Swift apps to Android, but nothing mature enough that we could feasibly support both platforms, though we’d like to if/when the cross platform Swift ecosystem matures enough for that to be realistic.

    > After a year in development and six months in beta, we are thrilled to announce that Mlem for Lemmy 2.0 is available on the App Store! > > We've rewritten the app from the ground up--it's still the same Mlem our users know and love, but with significant performance improvements, a set of new features that were infeasible in our v1 app, and a fresh new design that feels right at home with the latest versions of iOS. There are more changes than we could list here, so the best way to see what's new is to just download the app, but some of the highlights include: > > ## Media Enhancements > > 2.0 ships with a brand new image viewer and full support for gifs, videos, and animated webps. We've even added loops.video embedding--link posts to loops.video will display the linked video directly in Mlem. > > ! > > ## Color Themes > > In addition to the standard light and dark, Mlem 2.0 offers OLED, Solarized, and Dracula color themes, with more on the way. If you'd like us to support your favorite theme, let us know! > > ## Markdown Handling > > Powered by our custom cmark fork, Mlem 2.0 supports the full range of Lemmydown syntax. > > ## Enhanced Post Composer > > You can now create crossposts directly in the post editor (+ -> Crosspost), and can even post to multiple communities from multiple accounts at once. The keyboard now also sports a comprehensive set of Markdown editing tools. > > ## French Localization > > Mlem is now available in French, thanks to pylapp. > > ## And More... > > - Guest mode: you can now browse instances without an account > - Added a new Tiled post layout > - Keep place on switch: you can now switch accounts without reloading the app. This behavior can be toggled in Settings -> Accounts or accessed by long pressing an account in the account switcher. > - You can now search for posts and comments > > Compatibility Notice: Mlem 2.0 supports iOS 17 and later. If you are on an older iOS, you won't be able to download this update but will be able to continue using the previous version of Mlem. > > Thank you to all of our beta testers, whose feedback and support has been invaluable. > > Cheers, > > The Mlem Group > > Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data.
