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.

Oh hell yeah, thanks man. I don’t suppose there’s a way to upload from my photos library?
Not currently, no. We're aware of this feature and are tracking it here.
Haven’t used Mlem much lately but no I don’t think so. Not in a comment. You’d have to upload in the new post field and copy the url or just upload to a 3rd party like https://thumbsnap.com
Yep, we don't have this functionality just yet.
To clarify - you'd have to upload the image to your instance in the browser, not within Mlem's post creator. Mlem doesn't provide a way of copying the URL of an image you attach to a post. And if you never post the image you attached, Mlem will request that your instance deletes the image.
You would need to upload the photos someplace else like Imgur or another option that allows you to directly link to the image, then use the direct link they provide (should end with the file extension).
