Please note: it may take a couple minutes for it to be available in all regions. We just pressed the button.

Mlem for Lemmy is out of beta and live on the App Store!

Thank you to everybody who tested our app and submitted feedback, whether through TestFlight or a GitHub issue or a post on the community. Your insight has been an integral part of making this app what it is, and we look forward to working with you to make it even better in the months to come.

The past month and a half of hard work has been an amazing journey, but this is just the beginning. We hope you give it a download and join us as we strive to bring you the best mobile Lemmy experience we can.

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

    Congrats! I’m excited that Mlem is built in SwiftUI instead of a cross-platform framework. Native-built apps are usually so much better.

      Me too! The differences really become apparent when more features are added. Battery life I notice. Also just the way the thing feels; I can intuit where things are in the app because I already know how to use my iPhone.

    I like the design and the layouts but there are a few things to improve. The biggest for now is the image viewer. When I click on a post it just opens the post with the title and comments, but not the image itself. I can’t zoom in or anything.

    Overall though it’s very clean and off to a good start.

      The image viewer is our #1 priority right now. To zoom you can tap the image once in the post view–we’re working on getting a hotfix out shortly to make that work the intuitive way, where tapping the image in feed opens the quick viewer.

      Longer-term, we’re working on a much more robust, fully-featured media viewer, but it’s a complex piece of code and we want to get it right–it’s slated for our next milestone (1.1, targeted Aug 5).

        Glad you’re working in the image viewer. As of this release, images don’t even open in the post view. Touching them does nothing.

    Can someone remind me again where the setting is to move the upvote arrows to the right hand side?

      That functionality has been moved into the widget customizer. You can configure the layout of your buttons in Settings -> Appearance -> Posts or Comments -> Customize Widgets

    I’m giving this app a try. Just wanted to say that within 30 seconds, I inadvertently blocked someone while trying to change the post size. Maybe the options shouldn’t be under a submenu. Blocking a user should ask for confirmation by default. Also why do you make the user enter credentials instead of ask redirect to the instance to grant permissions using oauth?

      Thanks for giving us a try! We’re constantly improving, and your feedback is invaluable–we’re working on adding confirmations to more destructive actions for the next build.

      For credentials, we don’t use oauth because Lemmy doesn’t support it–there’s an issue open on their GitHub that should resolve that, but until then it’s passwords or bust.

    Congrats! even though it has only been such a short time, It has been amazing seeing this project grow.

      Yes! We will continue using TestFlight to try out our beta features, so if you want the cutting (and maybe buggy) edge of our development, stay on there. If you just want the stable, reliable app, the App Store version is your friend.

      There are a couple smaller reasons, but the big one is that we use NavigationStack to handle our core view navigation–it’s a truly monumental improvement over the old NavigationView, and lets us do things like build an iPad version without rewriting all our nav stuff, but it is unfortunately only compatible with iOS 16+.

      I know that’s probably not a super satisfactory answer, but I’d rather be transparent than spin some PR nonsense at you.

        The less headache for the devs, the better. I fully support this decision
