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

    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

      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

    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.

    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.

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

      How’s it broken? Does it not launch at all, or does it launch behave weirdly/poorly?

        I’m logged in but can’t see anything in Subscribed or All. When I go to my profile it comes up with the something went wrong error

          Hmm, that’s peculiar. Have you tried reinstalling the app? We recently changed how profile information gets stored, so it might be trying to read files that are written in an old format.

            Actually how do I go about doing that? It tells me the beta is full. (New to this sorry)

                So it’s deleted now and I can’t reinstall it due to the beta being full 👍🏻

                  Weird i thought it would still leave you in. Sorry about that. Consider using the memmy app since its in the official app store now

                  So sorry about that, I thought you could reinstall without losing beta access–my bad! We’ll be on the store soon, though (hopefully, if Apple is quick to review), so

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

      We sure will! That’s currently slated as a 1.1 feature, so it should be coming shortly after our App Store release

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

    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

      Can you try going to appearance settings and re-setting compact mode? I see 9 posts on my iPhone 14 Pro Max

      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.

      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?

        Was going to say, I love the new compact mode but I had to change it after I logged in.

        You’re right. After updating it defaults headline instead of previously selected compact. It’s much better now

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