Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.
- We welcome constructive criticism, but ask that it be both precise and polite.
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.

He probably wanted to do something too ambitious and feature-rich, and then could never finish it (sunk cost fallacy and all that); although many users would’ve already appreciated something simpler too, like the screenshot.
Yep he wouldn’t release it because he wanted it perfect (his words). I seriously doubt he put much work into it nor considered product plan for users.
I’m also glad Christian isn’t making a Lemmy app. This enables other apps like Memmy and Mlem to gain traction and do it better. These aren’t solo developers. They are also OSS.
Well said I agree to it all.
I agree. All the bugs I ran into plus the toxic community (how DARE you insult His Majesty with bug reports you f---ing peasant?!) drove me away.
Which is funny because his closing post says "we want to be nice people" hence the "rules"... but the constant abuse of anyone who dared to report bugs was blatantly allowed and seemingly encouraged. No lone developer can possibly catch all bugs. It's just a fact of life.
