It should be back now on the weekly TestFlight :)

Yes, we'll be adding it back in at some point 👍

I'm glad you like it :) Yes, we're re-doing almost all of the code from scratch. It's a lot of work but we're getting there!

I'm glad you're enjoying Mlem :)

I should mention that I can't get the new Testflight to work either. I use the old version, the Testflight for some reason is unavailable to me. Is it perhaps because I use an older model iPhone?

We closed the old TestFlight, as we don’t plan to release any major updates to Mlem v1 aside from critical bug fixes. The new TestFlight is for testing the upcoming Mlem v2, and requires iOS 17 or later. Mlem v1 supported iOS 16 and above. You can read more about our reasons for dropping iOS 16 support here.

Similarly, I sometimes don't see comments, eg. a post might have 5 comments but I only see 3 or none.

Yeah, this happens because the Lemmy API only returns a limited number of comments initially for large comment threads. It’s the client’s responsibility to request more comments when needed. On the Lemmy website UI, you have to click a “Load (x) more comments” button, and it’ll load the rest. Mlem v1 (and presumably Voyager) haven’t implemented this yet. We’re planning to add it to Mlem v2.

I'm glad you're looking forward to v2!

Voyager also seems to handle GIFs in comments better, is that something on the cards for Mlem?

It's something we'd like to add at some point; we're tracking the issue here. It may end up being in 2.0 or may not be.

Is there a plan to introduce swiping forward? I frequently accidentally swipe back to the community list and lose my place in the feed.

We'd love to have this feature but it is annoyingly very difficult to implement. The framework we're using doesn't natively support this, and neither does the framework that framework is built on. Apollo had this, but the code is of course closed-source so we can't get any insight into how they did it. We're tracking the issue here.

Yep, it'll be back :)

We did consider this in the past, but decided against it. Implementing this would mean that we - the Mlem developers - would have to decide who gets the flair and who doesn't. As the development teams of those projects change over time, we'd have to keep up with ensuring their current developers are correctly flaired. This would take time that could be spent developing new features for Mlem instead. There are also many Fediverse projects, and we don't want people asking "why don't the [XYZ] developers have flairs?" if we start giving out flairs to only the developers of certain projects. I hope that makes sense :)

Thanks for the bug reports! We'll look into it :)

Also if more room could be added after the bottom response in a thread. Currently the up/down vote and reply buttons are so close to the nav bar at the bottom I click the nav bar by mistake sometimes.

Sure 👍 Mlem v1 had this; we'll be adding it back in

Thanks for the feedback!

Please add more breathing room/padding to posts — it’s stressful how close posts are to each other (could mostly be solved with just a few more pixels of negative space under the interaction bar before the divider).

Yeah, I'm not happy with the padding there either and we're experimenting with some ways to improve this.

Also, some text feels like it’s cropped by the edges of my iPhone. There is more than enough room to spare on the iPhone Pro Max for that additional comfort.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Would you mind providing a screenshot?

The interaction bar customization doesn’t allow me to customize it the way I want because it doesn’t consider that I have more space for actions if I remove some readouts. Also, I’d like to reorganize readouts.

I'll look into allowing more space for actions if readouts are disabled. Reorganising readouts is planned in the future, though it may not be in v2.

Almost all settings should be specific to the account they were changed under, like settings of users on a pc. Currently, a change under one account is made to the other accounts.

We're considering applying this to certain settings, such as the "Blur NSFW" setting. We're hesitant to apply this for all settings, because we don't want the settings system to become too complicated for the user. Users might find it annoying if they have to go through all of their accounts to apply a setting change that they want to make globally.

Upon returning to my list of subscriptions (from my All feed for example), my subscribed feed may be highlighted, even though that’s not the page I’m on, coming from, or have selected.

We're looking into it 👍

We'll no longer be supporting iOS 16 from Mlem 2.0 onwards, I'm afraid. We're sorry if that means you can't use newer versions of Mlem. You can read more about our reasons for doing so here.
