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
- Join the stable 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.

Question/feature request: image upload (startrek.website)

Is there a way to upload images in a post? I couldn’t find it. I remember reading here a while ago that this was planned feature. Is it still in the works? Thanks for all your work, I’ve enjoyed using the app!

Sorry, this isn’t implemented yet but it’s still planned.

Image uploading is important us, but we have to decide how to best distribute our time and it’s not something we’re actively working on yet. Social media as a whole typically follows the 1% rule, which states that 99% of users on a typical online forum will lurk whilst only 1% create posts. It may well be slightly higher than 1% on Lemmy due to the culture here, but the fact remains that posting images is not something that the average Mlem user will do everyday. At the moment, we’re largely focusing on making improvements to the core Mlem experience that every user will benefit from on a daily basis.

Thanks for your patience!

Ahh ok, thanks for the reply! I definitely understand. A lot of my posts are image posts, so I’ve been popping into the browser version whenever I want to make one. I’ll keep doing that workaround for now!
