This behavior can be customized under Settings -> Links -> Tappable Links. By default it uses "contextual," which will display the full link in large contexts and just the title in compact contexts (e.g., comments if you have comment display set to "compact"). Setting it to "large" will always display the full link regardless of context.

It is our policy not to make features-for-donations transactions, as we feel that would compromise the spirit of the project and set a dangerous precedent that could lead to development becoming beholden to the wealthiest donors. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and your generosity, though--we're going to be busy for a little while getting 2.0 up and running, but we can tentatively scope widgets for 2.1!

It's currently live on the TestFlight beta! We're planning to roll it out to the App Store in the next few days.

Yes! We aren't happy with the current state of our media viewer. 2.0 is a backend-focused rewrite, so probably won't have a new media viewer on launch, but it's without a doubt high on our list of important features.
Hard to say. Our iOS compatibility policy guarantees compatibility until iOS18 reaches 75% market share; after that, I can't make any promises. We take the decision to drop compatibility very seriously, and try to only do so when the features offered by the newer iOS are valuable enough that we would be compromising the potential quality of the app by ignoring them.
Yes. We're still working out some UX concerns stemming from the fact that it's very slow to search posts and comments compared to communities, but it's in the plans.

We're reluctant to give concrete time estimates since our development time is constrained by our day jobs and other responsibilities, but we hope to have 2.0 in early TestFlight on a schedule roughly in line with our release cadence (~2mo).

We don't plan to release any new features to the 1.x codebase after 1.3, but we will continue to fix major bugs and maintain compatibility against changes to the Lemmy API while we bring 2.0 up.

We maintain a client-side list of instances supported by lemmy-status.org. Looks like we just forgot to add toast.ooo--should be fixed in the next build.

Update to Sjmarf's earlier comment: I have finally tracked down the source of the slowdown, and the fix should be out in the next TestFlight build.

It was not, nice catch! Should be fixed in the next build.

We plan to completely overhaul our markdown handling for the next major release, which will include both properly handling Lemmy's dialect quirks and integrating markdown editing tools into the composer.

App Store Connect reports there are a couple hundred empty spots, but we've had issues in the past with it reporting empty spots on the dev side but not letting more users join.

It wasn't, sorry about that! We've merged the fix for the next build, so hopefully that won't happen again.

[ NEW BETA RELEASE ] | Mlem for Lemmy TestFlight | 0.1.0(147) - 2023-07-07 (lemmy.ml)

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

[ COMMUNITY UPDATE ] - Community Open Again! - 2023-07-06 (lemmy.ml)

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
