Hey mlem folx! I’m using mlem on iOS.

I’m noticing that comment chains don’t always show up in the app. This happens one of two ways, from what I can tell:

the top level comment appears as normal, and there is an icon for however many replies, but none of them appear unless I share and open it with a browser; or,
I become eventually unable to see comments in comment chains, even if it’s a thread I am participating in.

I don’t know if this is a known thing or not, I admit I didn’t do too much looking through the history here. I hope it’s not a repost.

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.

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.
