I'm going to start by saying we didn't actually want to release this one just yet. A couple major instances changed their API spec without updating the published build number, which led to us needing to rush out a fix, so what we've got isn't quite fully cooked yet. Anyway, we figured it would be more fun to ship what we've got then to ship a patch, so here's what's new:
Features and Improvements
- Added an option to upvote posts on save (comments still WIP)
- Added an option to show the user avatar in the tab bar instead of the generic profile
- Made profile headers more readable
- Updated the behavior of the NSFW filter. In expanded post mode, tapping anywhere on the image will dismiss the filter; in feed, the filter can still only be dismissed by tapping the warning sign.
- Added post overscroll for the jump button
Bug Fixes
- Fixed website icon not appearing in the right place on thumbnails
- Fixed the "share" button crashing the app on iPad
- Fixed the widget customizer not working on iOS 17
- Fixed feed refresh not behaving consistently
- Fixed login not handling incorrect 2FA code properly
- Fixed instances with optional
.admin
field not loading - Added handling for inconsistent date formats across instances
- Fixed unencoded URLs breaking the feed
Known issues:
- Swipe voting in inbox has an animation hitch
- Comments don't apply interactions instantly
- It's hard to get image posts to collapse
- Putting too many widgets and too much info in the bar causes view clipping
- Onboarding flow is kinda rough. If you've got thoughts on how to make it smoother, please share!
- In Large Post mode, all images are crunched into a square. This is a temporary hack for performance reasons while we polish up some fun new changes, and will be gone in the next build.

I know the app is named Mlem and makes you think of a cat with their tongue out, but could we get a native app icon that doesn’t look like that? I’m tired of people asking why I have a furry app on my homescreen.
Yeah, we're working on it. It's unfortunately shockingly hard to find good designers who are willing to volunteer their time, but we're working on it.
I could probably help
