Long time Arctic user making the switch to Mlem hopefully. I’ve noticed a few things I really miss from Arctic, and a glitch or two in the last few days of using Mlem exclusively. Just wondering whether it’s preferred to post those here or in GitHub?
It has been a while since Arctic worked for me, having been on the TestFlight, but I do not recall it being any better than mlem's image handling.
Edit: was able to install Arctic from the App Store. In this post I think Arctic absolutely fails at the image thumbnails.
I intended for the boondocks image to be visible as the thread thumbnail and the oops image seen within the post. But Arctic takes two landscape images, crops them to portrait making both unreadable without tapping to view the image.
I do like, however, that after tapping on one image I can swipe to see the next.
Yes it’s more the image viewer I was referring to not the feed view. I worked a bit with the Arctic developer to get it just how I like it, so I guess I’m a bit biased :) But I’ll write it up and see what others think.

FAQ
When will insert feature here be implemented?
Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
