How can I open federated links in my home instance?
  • Hey! At the moment this isn't (easily) possible. We'll add a way to do this in the next update 👍

  • Comment chains not appearing.
  • Yep, this is a known issue. When a comment chain gets too long, Lemmy doesn't send all of the comments in the initial API response. When this happens, the web UI displays a "show n more replies" button that can be tapped to load the remaining comments:

    We just haven't got around to adding this button to Mlem yet, but it's something we will certainly look into in future. We're tracking the issue here.

    Sorry I didn't see your comment until now; your post didn't federate to lemmy.ml properly for some reason so I only just saw it whilst using my alt account.

  • Can somebody explain how to add a picture to a comment on Avelon?
  • Nope; we haven't got one yet. We hope to add one sometime in the future though.

  • Can somebody explain how to add a picture to a comment on Avelon?
  • That’s what I use in mlem.

    Mlem dev here - we added a button for this to both the post editor and comment editor in our 1.3 update.

  • Constant unknown error
  • This is related to a change in Lemmy v0.19.4. We've fixed this issue; it'll be live in a day or two.

  • Issue with login in Mlem
  • I'm glad it's working now :)

  • Issue with login in Mlem
  • Hey there! We're sorry this isn't working for you. Just to be clear, you should be typing "lemm.ee" in the "Instance" field and "chimera" in the "username" field.

    If that doesn't work, there's unfortunately something wrong with our login system. I'm currently unable to find the root cause - I've tried creating an account on lemm.ee, and am able to login without any problems. I've created an issue on our GitHub repository here and will let you know if we make any progress.

  • Homescreen widgets?
  • Adding widgets is something we're interested in; we're keeping track of the feature here. Right now, it's not high on our priority list as it doesn't directly impact the core functionality of the app. Therefore, it's unlikely to happen in the next few updates, though we do plan to explore it in future.

  • [ New Beta Release ] Mlem for Lemmy 1.3 Beta 0
  • Not yet, I'm afraid. We're tracking the issue here. The next major update will include a complete rewrite of large sections of backend the app, in which we aim to solve this issue.

  • How does one block instances using Mlem?
  • This isn't possible in Mlem right now, but we can add it to the next beta 👍

  • [ New Beta Release ] Mlem for Lemmy 1.3 Beta 0
  • We're aware of a bug in which Mlem sometimes crashes when moving into the background on iPad when "Lock with Face ID" is on. Do you have that setting enabled? We've looked into that issue and now know why it happens, but it's unfortunately rather tricky to fix with our current architecture. In the next major update we're rewriting a large part of our codebase, which should allow us to fix this.

  • History of (extremely predictable) failures catching up to you? Quick, write a book!
  • Mlem dev here! Admin features aren't live quite yet, but they should be available as part of an upcoming beta in a couple of weeks or so.

  • Sync has no link reader mode?
  • Mlem doesn't have this option just yet, but we're adding it the next beta. Memmy and Arctic have had it for a while.

    Adding such an option is very easy to do for iOS apps - Apple provides a simple API for it, so we just have to add a settings toggle. I'm not familiar with how it works in Android development, but it may be more complicated.

  • Love this
  • It bothers me that they put 3 ‘L’s in “stroll”

  • Daily Discussion Thread: 🔔 Tue 12 Mar 2024
  • Mlem dev here! I can't reproduce this issue at the moment. Do you mind sharing the model of iPad you are using, and iOS version? Does the crash happen with every comment, or seemingly randomly, or only under some condition? Thanks!

  • Is there a way to turn animations off?
  • Hey there! We're aware that the comment-collapse animation is a little jarring; this is something we want to improve in future.

    You can simplify the animations used when switching pages and when opening the image viewer by going into System Settings -> Accessibility -> Per-App Settings (right at the bottom) and enabling "Reduce Motion" and "Prefer cross-fade transitions" for Mlem.

    Disabling the comment-collapsing animation isn't yet possible. I've opened an issue for this on our GitHub, and will look into disabling it when "Reduce Motion" is enabled 👍

  • Feature request: built in translation
  • Yep, that's another way it could be done. We're hoping to add a text-selecting popup in the next major update, which will make this possible. However, it's not quite as seamless as having a dedicated "Translate" button that replaces the post/comment content inline, which I'd prefer to use if implementing it proves to be feasible.

  • Feature request: built in translation
  • This would certainly be a useful feature. Unfortunately, Apple does not make their translation API available for us to use, so we'd have to use someone else's API instead. I haven't looked too deeply into potential options just yet, but have created an issue here to keep track of the suggestion 👍

  • Android privacy ROM >> iOS
  • Yeah, the average iPhone user probably doesn’t use Files at all. Photos stores all of your photos and videos, so it’s really just PDFs that go in there for me. And a lot people don’t ever download PDFs anyways, since you can view them directly in a browser.
