Download Mlem 1.0.1 on the App Store
We are absolutely thrilled to announce the release of our 1.0.1 update to the App Store. New in this update:
Editing Posts and Comments
You can now edit your posts and comments using the new button in the context menu. Groundbreaking, we know.
Account Quick-Switcher
Swipe up anywhere on the tab bar or long press on the profile tab to quickly hop between your accounts. For those of you who use accessibility font sizes and rely on the tab bar info HUD, don't worry--we've made sure the long press gesture opens the HUD instead, and you can still access the quick-switcher with the swipe up.
Profile Nicknames
Do you have twelve profiles on eight instances using three names? Do you have so many accounts that you no longer know who or where you are? No longer! You can now add nicknames to your accounts and display them in the tab bar--or display the instance, or the username, or the enigmatic 'Profile.'
Compact Comments
Customizable Post and Comment Info
Only see what you care about. Just about every piece of meta-information about a post or a comment can be toggled on and off to suit your whims.
Quality of Life Improvements
- Implemented aggressive background prefetching, caching, and processing to smooth out the feed scrolling
- Image previews can be swiped down to dismiss
- Read posts are now indicated by grayed out title text. For users who use "differentiate without color," we've added two different options to indicate read posts: a gray bar on the leading edge or a checkmark by the ellipsis menu. You can configure them in the new "Accessibility" settings menu.
- Read posts can now be hidden using a new button in the navigation bar ellipsis menu
- Added an unread count on the inbox tab (it can be disabled)
- Organized and beautified settings
- Refined haptics across the app
- Added .webp image support
- Improved animations
- Fixed comments not collapsing interaction bar
Cheers, The Mlem Group
My most important feature that only Memmy offers so far is mark read on scroll. I don’t see that on Mlem yet. Are there plans to offer it?
There are! We haven't implemented it yet out of concerns around API etiquette--there is no batch mark read endpoint yet, so it's kind of a "scroll fast to spam server" feature and we really don't want to build something that's harmful to the Lemmy ecosystem. We'll run some numbers and reach out to a couple admins, see what their sense of the impact might be, and proceed from there.
Lemmy does have rate limiters, so it's probably fine, but it's still something we want to make sure isn't going to be a headache for instance owners, especially small ones.
Cool thanks! If it proves to be too burdensome, maybe keeping track locally? I believe that was how Apollo did it and Memmy does it now because if I switch devices, my read content shows back up.
Not a bad idea but it would be tricky to get to traverse multiple devices I think.
