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.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta

How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

Hi Mlem Community,

We’ve been quiet recently, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy! Our development efforts over the last few months have been primarily focused on our 2.0 build. This is a ground-up rebuild, which is no small undertaking. We’ve solidified our backend groundwork, and are now well into rebuilding the UI with a clear roadmap to an early TestFlight beta.

As we mentioned in April, We’re also taking the opportunity to move the app from Lionel Hanners’ account to mine. Doing this requires shutting down the TestFlight, and since we aren’t planning any major releases against the v1 codebase, we’re going to keep it down until 2.0 is ready for beta testing.

Roadmap

We want to get 2.0 into your hands as quickly as we can, and so we’re planning to ship a TestFlight as soon as we have a minimal working feature set for daily use. That feature set is:

All non-moderator feed options
- All (DONE)
- Local (DONE)
- Subscribed (DONE)
- Saved (DONE)
- Community (DONE)
Profile (IN PROGRESS)
Search (DONE)
Non-moderator Inbox
- View replies/mentions/messages (DONE)
- Reply to items (IN PROGRESS)
Reports (IN PROGRESS)
Account deletion (IN PROGRESS)

Bonus features:

A brand new post layout option
Full support for Lemmy’s custom Markdown dialect
Color themes
Guest mode
Sort community list by instance

We also have a few features we’re making good progress on and hope to have in the 2.0 release, but might come a little later:

Basic video handling (videos play properly, tap to play/pause) (IN PROGRESS)
Improved iPad UX (IN PROGRESS)

We’ll put out an announcement when the new TestFlight takes off with a link to join, and keep this post (roughly) up-to-date with development.

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

Update 2024-07-24 19:45 EST

The v1 TestFlight is officially shut down. A massive thanks to all our testers, and we can't wait to launch the new v2 TestFlight!
