We're reluctant to give concrete time estimates since our development time is constrained by our day jobs and other responsibilities, but we hope to have 2.0 in early TestFlight on a schedule roughly in line with our release cadence (~2mo).
We don't plan to release any new features to the 1.x codebase after 1.3, but we will continue to fix major bugs and maintain compatibility against changes to the Lemmy API while we bring 2.0 up.
We maintain a client-side list of instances supported by lemmy-status.org. Looks like we just forgot to add toast.ooo--should be fixed in the next build.
Update to Sjmarf's earlier comment: I have finally tracked down the source of the slowdown, and the fix should be out in the next TestFlight build.
It was not, nice catch! Should be fixed in the next build.
We plan to completely overhaul our markdown handling for the next major release, which will include both properly handling Lemmy's dialect quirks and integrating markdown editing tools into the composer.
App Store Connect reports there are a couple hundred empty spots, but we've had issues in the past with it reporting empty spots on the dev side but not letting more users join.
It wasn't, sorry about that! We've merged the fix for the next build, so hopefully that won't happen again.
You can show/hide read posts from the ellipsis menu in the top right of your Feeds tab.
Mlem has this feature planned--we have a clear path towards implementation, but there's a lot of groundwork and design to do first so it probably won't be delivered for at least several months.
Thanks for the bug report! We're looking into it.
Does this happen on all sort modes, or only specific ones?
Is it affected by toggling "show unread?"
Hi Mlem Community,
We have released an update fixing the issue where feeds from instances running 0.19 would prematurely display "end of feed" messages.
The build is currently awaiting review for TestFlight, and once that goes through will be available there as well.
Cheers,
Hi Mlem community,
UPDATE: the fix is now live on the App Store
We are aware of a bug in Mlem 1.1.1 that causes feeds on instances running Lemmy 0.19 to prematurely end. We have developed a fix, and it is currently awaiting App Store review. Thank you for your patience.
Cheers,
Mlem 1.1.1 is now available on the App Store, bringing 0.19 compatibility, new icons, and some highly-requested features!
Cheers,
Mlem is a free and open source project. 100% of our funding, which pays for things like server time, comes from our generous donors; we do not, and will never, run ads or sell data. If you'd like to help support Mlem, you can donate here.
Tiny update that adds a prompt to reauthenticate when logging into a 0.19 server for the first time. This should fix the incorrect_login errors that users have been reporting.
Thanks to the feedback from our wonderful TestFlight users, we’ve fixed a number of bugs with the 1.1.1 RC.
We have achieved (hopefully) full 0.19 compatibility, and added a couple new features while we’re at it!
We have released our first release candidate for 1.1.1 to TestFlight. This is a backend-focused update that adds compatibility with Lemmy 0.19 and cleans up some of our backend logic.
Cheers,
Hi Mlem Community,
It’s been a bit quiet here recently, so I just wanted to let you all know what we’ve been up to in the last couple weeks.
The current development cycle has been very backend-focused, so there hasn’t been much shiny new stuff to push to the TestFlight. We’ve instead been developing stable long-term solutions to thorny problems that we didn’t have time to address while we were racing towards core features. There should be a TestFlight coming out soon-ish with some major backend rework that will make the app more stable and robust.
We are extremely excited to announce that you can now donate to the project!
Where do I donate?
What will the money be used for?
100% of the money that you donate goes directly towards the project. It will be used to cover operating expenses (e.g., Xcode cloud server time), dev tools, and new features like push notifications that cost some money to operate.
Our donations are run through Open Collective, which means that all of our income and expenses are fully transparent so you can donate with confidence.
What do I get for donating?
The eternal gratitude of the development team, a bright future for Mlem, and some cool updates down the line. Due to App Store restrictions, we cannot currently offer perks as a reward for donation; see below for more details.
Can I donate in-app?
Not yet. In-app purchases must go through the App Store, which requires a whole bunch of additional setup that we are currently still working on. The App Store also prohibits us from selling “content or functionality” through any market but the App Store (App Store review guidelines §3.1.1), which is why we can’t offer tangible rewards right now.
Will functionality ever be paywalled?
Absolutely not, and nor will we ever run ads. Ads and paywalled functionality violate the fundamental philosophy of the Fediverse: social media created by and for the community, free of corporate influence, supported by nothing more than the community’s desire for the platform. When we do get our in-app purchases up and running, we will never restrict the functionality of the app; every feature will be available to every user. Rewards will be in the form of digital bling (e.g., a custom flair visible to all Mlem users), wholly cosmetic perks (e.g., special icons or color themes), or bragging rights (e.g., a shoutout on our info page).
If you have any questions, drop them below and we’ll do our very best to answer them.
Cheers,
At long last, Mlem 1.1 is ready! We’ve been working on this one for a while and are super excited to bring what we’ve been working on to the App Store:
Fully Customizable Interaction Bar
All the buttons you want, exactly where you want them. Want to be able to upvote from both sides of the post? You can do that. Instance doesn’t support downvotes? You can remove the downvote button. Want six separate upvote buttons? Yup, you can do that too. Check it out in Settings -> Appearance - Posts or Comments -> Customize Widgets.
Enhanced Search
Search has been given a major facelift, and we’ve added the ability to search for both users and communities. You can also now subscribe directly from search results.
New Icons
We have two all-new icons for the app:
Jump Button
We’ve added a button to the comments view to let you jump to the next comment, because scrolling is just too much work sometimes.
Image Uploading
Our team is never afraid to push the envelope. After countless hours of groundbreaking development, we give you the ability to upload an image while creating a post. Revolutionary, we know.
Onboarding
We now have a proper onboarding flow for new Lemmy users. If you already have an account but want to see it anyway, you can remove all your accounts from Mlem.

We're back with bugfixes, bugfixes, a new icon, and more bugfixes! Thanks to all of our wonderful TestFlight members for finding and reporting bugs--we really couldn't do it without you.
Small patch today, but we figured that the fixes are important enough to be worth releasing ahead of our regular cadence.
