Really well implemented, thanks so much. I love Mlem.
I wonder, though, what do the Mlem devs think of Apple's new design language?

Hi Mlem Community,
Mlem 2.3 is now available on the App Store, featuring a new design with Liquid Glass, improved PieFed support, and several smaller features and bug fixes.
Cheers,
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. If you'd like to help support Mlem, you can donate here.
Features
- Adopted the iOS 26 Liquid Glass design language
- Improved PieFed support
- Added the Popular feed
- Added support for editing profile
- Added the option to view votes
- Added support for editing and deleting private messages
- Updated the design of the Search tab
- Moved the Saved feed from Feeds to Search
- Added the Upvoted feed
- The Instance view now also shows the instance's short description
- Added "mark all as read" action to a context menu on the crosspost list
- Code blocks now highlight syntax
- Added basic compatibility with Lemmy 1.0. Please note that support for many 1.0 features are still in-development and may not work as expected.
Bug Fixes
- Tapping "hide links" no longer causes unintended scrolling
- PieFed comment links now resolve correctly

- User profiles now load slightly faster in some cases
Patch 2.3.1
Bug Fixes
- The keyboard no longer obscures the "select text" sheet in the message chat view
- The instance page community list no longer refreshes when navigating back to it
- Fixed the modlog not loading
- Fixed the subscription status indicator clearing when opening posts on PieFed
- The instance block button is no longer shown on PieFed (the PieFed API does not support this feature)
Speaking personally, I like it. I loved the skeuomorphic design of the old OS X and classic iOS, and am glad to see the design language return to something fun and grounded in physicality without sacrificing too much of the ultra clean style of later iOS versions. I do have some concerns about accessibility, as the contrast on glass is much lower, and the new language brings some interesting challenges, but overall I think it’s a pleasing change and I’m excited to see how it matures.
Top work! Thanks for your continued support and for making Mlem an amazing app.
it’s looking so good! WOOOO 🙌
That liquid glass update was so quick!! Thanks for all your hard work!
HANDS DOWN best app on the market. Beautiful AND functional. Thanks for your work folks
I no longer can view my saved posts. It’s not on the Feeds page nor my profile tab.
Was this intended?
Hi, we've moved the Saved posts to the top of the "Search" tab.
Thanks!
So, I’ve been struggling to get used to the liquid aesthetic, much less like it.
But this… this is the first app that’s actually made it make sense. Absolutely beautiful!
For me on Mlem 2.3 (515) the feature to view the modlog seems to be broken. Tested both on my feddit.org user and on lemmy.ca. The log seems to be loading, but never actually finishes and thus shows nothing.
Thanks for the bug report! We’re working on this one and will have a patch out soon to fix it.
Thank you 🙏
This is fixed in the latest App Store patch (2.3.1)
Thank you, I do confirm that with the update the modlog works fine again!
