Trying it out now, seems to be smooth sailing so far. 👍

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.

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?
- The TestFlight link is here, though we can't guarantee there will be room left--Apple imposes a strict 10,000 tester limit.
- 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.
Is it entirely gone for you? Feels like it’s gotten better, but there’s still the occasional stutter for me.
I spoke to soon, seeing an occasional hiccup too.
Wow, great work. Scrolling for just a few seconds and it’s much smoother!
How’s scrolling through the comments section for ya? 👀 hope it sparks joy now lmao instead of being a jumpy long jumper 🥲
It’s been smooth so far, even in comments. :)
I love mlem and the work y’all are doing! Every update I check to see if clicking Feeds scrolls to the top and am disappointed it doesn’t and then i go back to memmy 😅 but once that’s implemented ill be making the switch to mlem
May have started on something related to this today 😏
OSS ftw

MLEM was the first I started using and I’m still using it. Will be glad to keep throwing some bones towards dev, esp in app officially too.
Not a big fan of the quick look. I’d personally like to be able to have a button right there to save the image instead of having to open the drop down at the top of the screen (don’t rly like the placement of that either, but I digress).
Currently it’s also the case that if you swipe the image up or down it doesn’t close the quick look, you have to manually press done for the bigger preview to close.
Quick look isn't our long-term image viewer--we've got a better media viewer in development for our upcoming 1.1 milestone that's going to have proper gesture control and a better UX.
In the meantime we've got an issue open to get that gesture support added to the current quicklook as an interim.
Ahh, the scrolling is significantly improved, and the grayed out read articles was a sore point for me. Really great work folks! Looking forward to gestures to dismiss opened images. I also hope link handling can be improved. Comparing just now, Avelon is handling lemmy links very smoothly, while mlem kicks out to Mail.
Plz let us (or me lmao) know if you have any issues when scrolling through comments, or just wave if it now sparks joy? 🫡
The scrolling has been my biggest issue and basically the reason why I never used it. I’m happy to see it being so much better now, thanks!
Really looking forward to the thumbnail fix. I wish the blurred images would expand to full size upon taping them without having to go into the post or opening the image link
In the feed, all usernames are now orange tinted. I get that’s because it’s OP, but is it necessary in a feed view?
Also some post display options don’t apply to certain post views, this could be a bit confusing if you try a specific setting toggle but nothing in your view changes.
The usernames are very much not supposed to be OP flaired in feed—not sure how that one snuck through but it’ll be fixed in the next build.
Thanks for the settings feedback—we’re overhauling a lot of how post customization works for our 1.2 customization update, and that’s a useful note.
Could we get the option/toggle back to collapse the post content? This could be helpful if you want to check back for new comments/replies without needing to scroll through the entire post again.
If I remember correctly, the "OG Mlem" had that feature or I confuse that with Apollo.
I think that was Apollo? It's been a little while now, but I can't remember that feature ever being in Mlem. It's a good little piece of UX, though--I'll throw it on the issue tracker
Thanks!
It could be a bit frustrating too when you accidentally collapsed a post without knowing what happened, but overall it’s a useful optional feature.
Can you fix the font size in comments? It looks way too big when compared to system font size of Apollo.
