FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

"Hot" Filter Bad? (beehaw.org)

At least recently, the hot filter only shows posts with 0 or 1 comment. These posts also get no more comments afterwards.

This is poor. I moved back to Reddit because I simply thought fediverse was dead when it was the hot filter malfunctioning.

Yeah, "Hot" is just short for Hot Garbage. It's basically "New" for posts with a couple of upvotes and maybe 1 post.

I think it's a divide by zero thing where posts are weighted by activity divided by age. So a tiny amount of activity on a new post is weighted the same or more than an active post that's a few hours old.

Edit to add: Top 6 Hour seems to be where it's at for a mix of fresh content that is also active.
