Edit: Other features that were not on the list:

Hey all!

For all of the testers, we have submitted a 0.1 build to TestFlight that needs to get approved. These usually only take a few hours unlike a full store release which usually takes 12-24 hours, so expect that here soon.

First, let me detail what is already fixed in the current TestFlight version and will be in the next store release:

  • Sharing images inside of the image viewer will now download the image to be shared as an image, not as a link
  • Link helper respects the theme and uses the URL keyboard for the link
  • The post viewport should respect keyboard height and fill the remainder of the space
  • Read icon now uses the correct theme/accent color (thanks ktgd)
  • All /c/community links should now work (thanks ktgd)
  • The last account you used is now remembered (thanks jderose)
  • Search will automatically take you to the community or user if you include the @instance
  • All refresh controls will respect the theme (no longer invisible)
  • Added top hour, top six hours, and top twelve hours (I need to add them to defaults, I’ll do that here in a bit)
  • Fixed image save/share not being present in compact mode
  • Made sure that images that are both present in the URL and in the body of the post don’t show up twice
  • Profile reload issues (i.e. if it fails to load) should be fixed
  • Link info not displaying in posts is now fixed
  • Blur respects the current theme
  • Voting on a post in search now reflects that vote
  • Modifications to the profile screen. This will help with load times when all you’re doing is looking at someone’s profile
  • Performance improvements in the feed
  • Performance improvements in comments
  • Collapsing large comment chains no longer causes freeze/crash
  • Performance improvements in profile
  • Performance improvements in inbox

Here are the things being addressed that will be making their way into 0.1 TestFlight builds and should be available on the store either on Friday or Saturday:

  • New swipe animation. Much improved, more performant, and without the visual bugs we have right now
  • Error reporting. You’ll get actual error messages now instead of the generic error codes Lemmy sends
  • Markdown enhancements. Pictures in comments should be there, and more than one image in a post will be shown
  • Editing or deleting a post
  • Improvements to image viewer. I cannot PROMISE that swiping through images (like a gallery) will be there but I CAN promise that there shouldn’t be any further issues with swipe to dismiss or issues with swiping to close some images
  • Also, iPad users shouldn’t have issues with viewing images in landscape mode anymore
  • Other improvements (I’ll list them as we add them)
  • Other bug fixes (Same thing, I will list them as I add them)

Things to note:

I’ve seen some issues with subscriptions not showing up in the Traverse screen. I think this is a server issue, but I will verify that to be sure. I am experiencing this on Lemmy.ml and I think others are experiencing it on Lemm.ee. I wonder if a recent update (lemmy.ml seems to have updated) caused this. I also noticed that my upvote count on the profile has changed, not sure what that might be because of…

For issues, I strongly suggest reporting them on GitHub: https://github.com/memmy-app/memmy

While Sean and I do try to go through posts here, it’s MUCH more difficult than it is on GitHub. We have an internal issue tracker that syncs with GitHub that we use to triage and develop roadmaps. It’s hard to do that with posts here.

Thanks for all of the INCREDIBLE support over the past day from you guys!

    Tried Memmy today and you’ve created a love triangle between myself and wefwef. Now I’m not sure what to use.

      Same, the haptics in Memmy make a big difference. I love it.

        Only thing wefwef has is the far left swipe to hide a post and the collapse comment and go down one.

      For now, use them all. I’m using Memmy, mlem, liftoff, wefwef, lemmy.world as a PWA, and thunder. So far it seems Memmy, mlem and wefwef are the most “iOS” of the bunch, but several variants have their ups and downs. For example, when I want a link to a community in the cleanest form, I go to mlem (three dots in top level of community provides a share button). Memmy is my main daily driver and does my notifications. Wefwef is just amazing that it is a web app. Thunder and liftoff feel like what I expect android to feel like (material design).

      I expect I will settle into Memmy, mlem and wefwef with some occasional web app and website usage of lemmy.world, it is great to try them all right now.

      We have options with servers, and options with apps, and we have no need for monogamy among these fine options.

    Hi Gavin. Super impressed by your work on Memmy. I was an avid ApolloApp user myself, as you and many many others. And being frank, Memmy makes the transition from reddit to lemmy so much easier and enjoyable. Forgot reddit’s existence almost.

    Are there any plans for more app icon options? I’d prefer something a little less…loud…than the current icon.

    Love it so far, would like to be able to have account specific settings, such as showing and hiding NSFW on one account but not the other if possible.

    Amazing work! Hopefully a button to go to the next to comment like Apollo had will come soon:)

      Piggybacking on this, I loved being able to tap the top of the screen to go to the top of the page and then tap it again to return to where I was at. That and being able to tap the upvote icon/count under a username to upvote it instead of swiping or using the larger upvote buttons.

        My favorite Apollo features I hope to see is a button to skip to the next comment or hold it down to go up. I also hope to see customizable gestures because I used gestures to save and share when swiping from left to right.

        What Christian called the new comment highlightenator which displayed how many comments have popped up since last time you clicked the post. It would say the amount of comments then +x for how many are new

        It was cool but it’s something I can live without out

          Hopefully all things that will come in time. I also miss customizable swipe actions so I can put what I want where I want.

    For some reason TestFlight is still at 0.0.2. Guess apple is taking their sweet time for some reason.

      Should have one version now. Since it got approved I’ll push a new version here in about an hour.

    Thanks for the great work! Any way we can have the content be center justified, like Apollo/wefwef? It’s odd seeing photos/memes centered, as they should and seeing text at the very left edge, especially on landscape iPad

        We need margins… I realized I wasn’t identifying the issue accurately. We need space on the left and right between screen edge, keeping images and text vertically uniform, and flowing, while scrolling. It’s more jarring the bigger the device.

      Such a minor thing, but it drives me bonkers. Also hate when my Kindle left-justifies text even though I have it set to use the entire line width. (It overrides my font settings sometimes, too, which I hate. I selected my thirdparty font for a reason – much easier on my eyes).

    Would it be possible to add a sort function in the search results list? As of right now, it’s hard to tell which communities are the most active. (I am currently using the iOS app, if this support was already added to beta branches disregard.)

    i have been loving the app! tried a handful and will stick with Memmy for sure.

    Also experiencing the same traverse bug you mentioned with my own instance, fully updated to the latest RC’s. Not seeing the issue with lemmy.world though. tried to see if there was an open issue on github but couldnt see any for it under traverse or subscriptions.

    thanks once again for such a beautiful app!

      Oh cool. Do you know if this was fine before the upgrade? I need to do some actual network debugging today to see if maybe it’s something I was doing wrong to begin with and it was just fixed by them or if they broke something.

      It seems other apps have the same issue, but WefWef and jerboa both are reported to not. So I’m thinking there’s a few different ways we can get the info. I’ll make adjustments to fix this if necessary.

        I actually dont remember, I only just noticed when you mentioned it. Still wrapping my head around everything so havent used subscriptions much. I can easily downgrade in a few hours and let you know if that would help!

        Just hopped on the discord:)
