Hey, Mlem Community.

You might have noticed our community has been closed for the past few days and that several posts have been removed. If you’re especially keen, you might have noticed that we momentarily migrated to vlemmy.net.

We recently parted ways with the team member responsible for most of our community outreach. We had hoped that he would agree to smoothly step away from the project. He did not. On his way out, he used his power as the primary (active) mod on this community to shut it down and remove several posts. He also refused to relinquish control of the Mlem Official accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon.

First and foremost we apologize deeply for his behavior. He is not, nor will he ever again be, affiliated with this project, and we have enacted greater redundancies and shared authority to prevent anything like this from happening again.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

We continue developing, of course! The core dev team is intact and as excited as ever to bring you the best Lemmy app that we can. We’ve got a new TestFlight build coming down the pipeline soon and an App Store application just around the corner from that. The community is open, and we look forward to hearing all your voices again.

Cheers,

The Mlem Team

    So much drama… I’ll stick with Memmy, I think… Hopefully, this project can stabilize itself eventually!

      They’re doing great work over there too! We saw they just launched–congrats to them!

      For what it’s worth, we don’t like the drama either, and we’re hoping that this will be the end of it and we can focus all our energies on what matters: updates!

        Thanks for the congrats! I’m glad you guys are ironing these issues out, really hope you guys get up soon too. If you have any questions about what all Apple complained about or what you need to include to get approved, shoot me a PM or you can add me on Discord, g_k_d . Or, if you guys have a Matrix let me know.

        Edit: Just saw you guys have a Matrix link in the post. I’ll just drop in and you can message me if you have questions.

          Congrats on getting Memmy on the App Store !🖖 Been using it for a few hours and I love it, I’ll still use both memmy and Mlem till I find which one works for me. It’s great to have different choices.

      Memmy’s great. I think mlem has a lot of potential as well. I think we can do some fun stuff with it if we stick with it. There are a lot of creative things we can do once we get the core functionality built out and functioning, and then fine-tuned a bit. Once that’s good, then comes the fun part, in my opinion. But I’m a designer, so that’s where my mind goes. The little fun animations and the way the app reacts to your interactions, that we’ll be able to incorporate.

      Apollo was great, but there’s also a lot of potential to do our own things, having used and learned from Apollo, and now knowing how different the fediverse and Lemmy are from Reddit.
