It’s here: the last big update before we apply to the App Store! We’ve got some exciting new features and a bunch of awesome fixes for you:

NEW ADDITIONS

  • Back by popular demand: the old compact mode! We’ve given it a little bit of a touch-up in the process. The previous not-very-compact compact mode is now called “headline,” and large is still, well, large.
  • New search UX: We gave community search a whole tab of its own, featuring recent search history (clearable, of course) and a much smoother UI. Keep an eye on that tab–we’ve got big plans for it down the road.
  • Reporting Content. We added ability to report posts and comments via context or the ellipsis menu. These reports will be sent to community moderators.

BUG FIXES

  • Optimized image loading to improve scroll performance significantly
  • Fixed spelling mistake (thanks J0hnny007)
  • Fixed bug where link posts made it hard or impossible to enter the comments
  • Fixed bug where NSFW tags were sometimes missing
  • Fixed bug where new posts required a link and body text
  • Fixed issue where comment times could show up with incorrect times

KNOWN ISSUES

  • Cross-instance subscriptions are currently not displaying. This is a server-side problem, nothing we can do about it :(
  • Link posts are a little choppy in the feed–we’re working on smoothing that out

Keep in mind that this is beta software (though not for much longer)–there may be bugs, and we want to hear about them!

Thanks again for using Mlem! We hope you love it as much as we do.

Cheers,

The Mlem Team

    Compact mode is still not compact. It needs to be MUCH more dense, IE 8-12 posts visible, not 4. Take a look at Memmy & wefwef for an example, they got it right

      I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I’m seeing over 8 posts per page when in compact mode. Perhaps your font is set to be larger?

        You’re right. After updating it defaults headline instead of previously selected compact. It’s much better now

        Was going to say, I love the new compact mode but I had to change it after I logged in.

      Can you try going to appearance settings and re-setting compact mode? I see 9 posts on my iPhone 14 Pro Max

      Note: We have three sizes now: Large, Headline (previously “Compact”), and Compact

      I just updated to this 147 version and the compact mode is very similar to wefwef and memmy. Only difference is the community name is on top of the post title where on wefwef the community is to the left of the post statistics on the bottom.
