Dev lead for Mlem, the iOS Lemmy client.
This is not possible in the current version, but our 2.0 rewrite gives us the level of granular color control required to effectively implement such a feature, so we’ll be sure to include it when that ships.
This is a known issue, and one that has us completely stumped–we don’t have a single line of code that touches anything related to audio. We’re monitoring it closely as we bring our 2.0 codebase online to try to figure out what’s causing it, and aim to have it fixed in 2.0.
Gif support is still one of our major outstanding tasks. We are currently working on a 2.0 version of the app, and are hoping to ship it with full inline gif support.
Thanks for the feedback! We’re aware that the iPad version isn’t up to the standards of the iPhone app–we’re a very small team, and so lean hard on Swift’s automatic multi-platform features to make the iPad app even feasible within our development bandwidth. We’re looking into ways we can improve the iPad experience without introducing unsustainable technical overhead as part of our ongoing 2.0 overhaul, and we’ll be sure to take your suggestions into consideration.
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.
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.
You can show/hide read posts from the ellipsis menu in the top right of your Feeds tab.
Mlem has this feature planned–we have a clear path towards implementation, but there’s a lot of groundwork and design to do first so it probably won’t be delivered for at least several months.
Thanks for the bug report! We’re looking into it.
Does this happen on all sort modes, or only specific ones?
Is it affected by toggling “show unread?”
Progressing well! We’re hoping to have the next TestFlight build out soon.
Thanks for the bug report, we’re looking into it!
