Asklemmy

Currently:

• Option to upload media from within the app
• A button to write a new post, rather than having to navigate to the community and use the box
• A notification centre
• Improvements to viewing user profiles
• Better link handling
• More colour contrast between posts and the app background
• Edit buttons on posts
• Option to view images fullscreen and save them to gallery
• Improvements to the search bar
• bUg FiXeS aNd PeRfOrMaNcE iMpRoVeMeNtS

Ideas for the future:

• Custom icons
• Customisable UI
• Profile editor
• Inline video playback
• Easter eggs?

Good luck, and great job so far!

I'd love to have the top and bottom panels pop in and out when scrolling through comments similar to how Apollo does.

A way to edit posts lol.

The ability to hide upvoted posts.

It's been said a few times already but I really love Apollo's swipe to vote interaction. The app looks tidy though, thanks for your work!

My biggest gripe is the inability to make the home screen/post view compact. Right now, it shows the entire post when someone creates one, which means youre scrolling for a long time to get past a single post in many instances.

I feel like Jerboa for Lemmy (Android's Lemmy App) could benefit from some of these suggestions as well, so hopefully the dev is also taking a look at this thread xd.

Finally registered and found mlem. It’s pretty nice so far, but would definitely like to have a way to search for communities.

Improved scrolling performance should be a high priority. Currently scrolling a feed results in tons of dropped frames and poor performance and then the feed jumps around as images load and pop in. It’s even worse when you try to scroll back up. I’m guessing some kind of static size for posts and moving certain tasks off the main thread will help here but my SwiftUI experience is limited

I would pay again for an iOS app that is like Apollo!

• searching for and sorting communities by some metric (like most subscribers)
• ability to acknowledge pinned posts and fold them up or remove them from view (tired of scrolling past them)
• a Share feature of a sort? I'd like to be able to "Share with..." and open a post (say, from a web browser) in Mlem.
• more descriptive error messages when trying to log in (did the login fail because u/p is wrong or the server is fubar?)
• filtering (blocking) communities should allow me to show either posts with those word(s) or posts without those word(s). As of now I think it's just posts with the defined words. Regex would be super!

Save to Photos, and other options for images

iPad support!

I like how Apollo will show trending subreddits. Not sure if mlem can support that given the federated design of lemmy but it was super useful in finding new subreddits.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but interaction with other servers is not as seamless as the experience on the web frontend. Yes, I can add multiple accounts, but I am yet to find a way to browse posts from across all of the linked communities.

An improved comment editor for sure. Better navigation around the app itself and around communities.

I can’t seem to find Mlem on the App Store. Am I missing something?

Just had a crash (and submitted a report). So fewer crashes please 🤣

Also, when I relaunched the app, it had forgotten the two accounts I had previously configured.

I was gonna ask this of mlem, but now I'm seeing...is there really no save feature on Lemmy?

I just installed it and started using it. So far it’s pretty nice I love that adding a comment is so easy. Coming from Apollo anything that behaves like that would be a big win
