Mlem scroll issue in 1.3.5 [resolved with update 1.3.6] by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

Are you on iOS 18? There is a known issue where swipe gestures and scroll gestures conflict on iOS 18, which causes the behavior you describe. We have a fix currently in app review that should be live shortly.

[ Community Update ] State of the Mlem 2023-07-22: TestFlight Closing (for now!), 2.0 Roadmap by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

If you want to keep using Mlem while the TestFlight is down, you can just download it from the App Store--the current release build is identical to the TestFlight, and should keep all your preferences.

Is it possible to add a tab on instances to see their local communities? by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

Should be pretty straightforward, we'll look into it for 2.0

[ App Store Update ] Mlem for Lemmy 1.3.3 by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

Sure! One of the big things we’re reworking for 2.0 is how we handle accounts, which includes changing the format of how we persist account information. The compatibility changes in this build add extra decoding logic to the account persistence system so that both v1 and v2 can load a saved account regardless of which version saved it.

[ NEW BETA RELEASE ] Mlem for Lemmy 1.2 by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 9 points 9 months ago

Hmm, that's odd--App Store Connect reports 1.2 as live for all of our testing groups. It might just be a little slow to propagate the build out to all the servers.

Toolbar buttons should scroll to top on second tap by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

We've been working on it. A simple tap to jump to the top is pretty easy--things get tricky when you start adding complications like "jump back into the feed" or "navigate up a level," which require a more sophisticated architecture from the ground up. It is in active development, though, so we hope to have a prototype out soon enough.

Thank you! It means a ton to us.

Hide read posts. by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Posts are marked as read when you interact with them (vote/save/reply/etc) or tap them to view the comments.

We have an issue open for marking read on scroll. The trouble with that feature is that the API only supports marking a single post as read at a time, so we either have to fake it locally or spam the API. The former is problematic because it either introduces what amounts to a memory leak as we track every read post or results in posts being displayed as read and then popping back up when the cache evicts that info. The latter is obviously unacceptable and constitutes extremely poor API citizenship.

We're currently working with the Lemmy devs to get a batch mark read endpoint, which will let us implement this feature without either of those problems.

I accidentally deleted my entire lemmy accout! by ericbandrews in c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

The App Store requirements are extremely clear that if you have an option to create an account in-app, you need to also offer the option to delete it. According to our app reviewer (and, I reluctantly admit, the text of the requirements), even just linking to a sign-up site like join-lemmy is sufficient to require in-app deletion.

It's here: the last big update before we apply to the App Store! We've got some exciting new features and a bunch of awesome fixes for you:

NEW ADDITIONS

Back by popular demand: the old compact mode! We've given it a little bit of a touch-up in the process. The previous not-very-compact compact mode is now called "headline," and large is still, well, large.
New search UX: We gave community search a whole tab of its own, featuring recent search history (clearable, of course) and a much smoother UI. Keep an eye on that tab--we've got big plans for it down the road.
Reporting Content. We added ability to report posts and comments via context or the ellipsis menu. These reports will be sent to community moderators.

BUG FIXES

Optimized image loading to improve scroll performance significantly
Fixed spelling mistake (thanks J0hnny007)
Fixed bug where link posts made it hard or impossible to enter the comments
Fixed bug where NSFW tags were sometimes missing
Fixed bug where new posts required a link and body text
Fixed issue where comment times could show up with incorrect times

KNOWN ISSUES

Cross-instance subscriptions are currently not displaying. This is a server-side problem, nothing we can do about it :(
Link posts are a little choppy in the feed--we're working on smoothing that out

Keep in mind that this is beta software (though not for much longer)--there may be bugs, and we want to hear about them!

Thanks again for using Mlem! We hope you love it as much as we do.

Cheers,

The Mlem Team

Gone but not forgotten! I can read all the deleted posts with my Mod Powers, and I've made sure to go through and catalog all the feature requests. IIRC yours was customizing swipe actions--we've got that scheduled for 1.2, though it's too far out to give a precise timeline.

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

The app was originally created as a solo project. When Lemmy suddenly took off, the founder started looking for devs to help out, and several of us showed up; for personal reasons, the founder chose to back out shortly thereafter. The dev team has remained largely consistent since then, though we've gained a couple new contributors.

Hey, Mlem Community.

You might have noticed our community has been closed for the past few days and that several posts have been removed. If you're especially keen, you might have noticed that we momentarily migrated to vlemmy.net.

We recently parted ways with the team member responsible for most of our community outreach. We had hoped that he would agree to smoothly step away from the project. He did not. On his way out, he used his power as the primary (active) mod on this community to shut it down and remove several posts. He also refused to relinquish control of the Mlem Official accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon.

First and foremost we apologize deeply for his behavior. He is not, nor will he ever again be, affiliated with this project, and we have enacted greater redundancies and shared authority to prevent anything like this from happening again.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

We continue developing, of course! The core dev team is intact and as excited as ever to bring you the best Lemmy app that we can. We've got a new TestFlight build coming down the pipeline soon and an App Store application just around the corner from that. The community is open, and we look forward to hearing all your voices again.

Cheers,

The Mlem Team
