Edit: Other features that were not on the list:
- Hide read posts (with a button)
- Collapsible posts
- Images in comments
- Default comment sort
- All of the “Top” sort options
- Fixed issues with askign for local permissions: See these commits for what caused this: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/commit/5a1ed47fd92f76c6b0931e4b2e5700584ee469d8 https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/commit/cdf9421e4955f7c93af0e750612e9db3dc4d6c61
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!
Thank you so much for all the amazing work you all do.
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.
If haptics activated when a comment is posted like Apollo. I really like haptics make the app feel more idk alive, animated, responsive, either way I like it
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.
The /c/ link handling will be fantastic!
Is that lemmy equivalent of typing r/memes and having it automatically link to the community
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.
Already in progress.
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.
Yep, we have something in progress for this.
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.
I only used it for barley under a year but Apollo had so much time to polish itself. I think we’ll get voting that in time
This! One of my favorite features from Apollo
The image viewer fade on dismiss is nice
Any plans on increasing the size of the beta group?
Unfortunately it is out of my hands. Apple only allows for 10k. Once some people start migrating away from using TestFlight, I will clear out users who have not actively used a TF build in 15 days or so.
congrats and keep up the awesome work 🤘
Loving the app and replying using Memmy right now! Keep up the great work 💪🏼
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
What do you mean by this? I’m just a user, but I am not sure I’m following your request.
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’m on it 👍
Keep up the great work. I’ve been stuck between Mlem and Memmy but Memmy is leagues ahead feature wise.
