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

The app is just getting better and better after every update! Btw, will Mlem support posting images, like Memmy and WefWef?

    The new compact mode is SO GOOD!!! Thanks for making an amazing app!

    Compact mode is still not compact. It needs to be MUCH more dense, IE 8-12 posts visible, not 4. Take a look at Memmy & wefwef for an example, they got it right

    I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I’m seeing over 8 posts per page when in compact mode. Perhaps your font is set to be larger?

    I just updated to this 147 version and the compact mode is very similar to wefwef and memmy. Only difference is the community name is on top of the post title where on wefwef the community is to the left of the post statistics on the bottom.

    In general I really like the app. Great job on the UI!

    I will admit I immediately check each update to see if an image viewer has been implemented yet though.

    Do I hallucinate or did the app feature a lemmygrad icon before?

    Solid app but it’s missing the ability to tap images and view them full screen. Hoping that’s coming soon. Cheers!

    This is the app that got me going in the verse, thank you!

    Looks and feel great! But how is opening pictures by clicking on thumbnails or from inside posts not a thing yet? Please tell me it will happen with the next update

    We have a rough build of the feature, but it's nowhere near production ready. Hopefully we can get it out in a minor patch before we go to the App Store, but it might have to wait until 1.1.

    The new headline mode is SO GOOD!!!! Thank you for making an amazing app! Is there anyway to have the image previews on the right?

    Excellent work guys. Do you think you could add the ability to reorder accounts in the accounts page?

    Just updated, last version was a bit buggy in iOS 17, hope this one fixes most issues.

    Will this come to Android?

    Thanks for the continuing updates!

    One thing that drives me nuts (in iOS in general) is accidentally tapping the top right corner and it scrolling to the top. Any way to add an option where this can be turned off? Or maybe double tap takes you back to where you were?

    I got to this community via the new search! Great work folks

    Why can’t I just copy images raw to share to my friends :(

    Amazing work!! Please consider making the number of comments be in the middle vs when it was posted. The most important thing in a lemmy thread (just like reddit) is the comments. Having the number of comments be in the middle would be much more convenient to know if I should open a thread

    Great update but the scroll bar seems to be missing in the list of posts of an instance, within the post‘s comments it’s there though.

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 3 years ago

    Will there be an option to mark opened posts as read? Something like on the web. Might be some setting I'm missing.

    Great app. However, its not as smooth runing on my 14 Pro. The 120hz display makes it look choppy when scrolling.

    And could you make the thumbnails on the right? Thanks man

  • source

    To both: it's in the works. We're constantly optimizing our image preloading, which is the primary driver of the smoothness of the feed--we've got a really nice implementation that's way smoother coming down the pipeline soon.

    As to the thumbnails, we've been getting a ton of feedback asking for various customizations like that, so we're bumping all the "easy win" customizability up--the next update we put out should have the option to swap thumbnail side, plus some other high-demand toggles

    Great update! Thanks so much for bringing back compact mode for posts. You knocked it out of the park, and I think it is pretty perfect the way that it is now with respect to text size, information density, content layout, etc.

    I think it would be great to see a compact mode for comments as well, that would change things like text size, content layout (one line for username, timestamp, vote counts instead of two), hiding certain elements (save, reply) etc. I'm not sure if you have anything in your upcoming customization update for that. :)

    Edit: Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but the options for All/Subscribed/Local that you get when you long press on the Mlem app icon do not seem to work. When selected, the app opens, but that is it.
