Search

Ahead of our App Store update tomorrow, we’ve fixed a whole lot of bugs and refined some of our new features:

Features and Improvements

• Recent searches are now stored per-account
• Optimized search view rendering

• Improved account switching screen
• Added an option to disable the “swipe up from tab bar” gesture

Bug Fixes

• Refreshing your own profile no longer causes an error
• Refreshing a profile now also refreshes the content of that profile, including things like vote counts
• Fixed certain actions being published on background threads
• Fixed inbox unread count incrementing every time you vote on a mention or reply
• Fixed search spamming the API
• Fixed home page sometimes having no items when navigating back from search
• edit Fixed info stack not aligning properly

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

It’s here: our 1.1 release candidate! This is the last set of features for our App Store update next week, and we’ve got some exciting ones for you:

Features and Improvements

• Brand new search interface, allowing you to search for users or communities (posts coming soon) and featuring a beautiful new result preview
• Image uploading. You can now upload an image when creating a post!
• New icon: “Stargazer", designed by Sjmarf
• Edited posts and comments now display the updated time

Bug Fixes

• Fixed images all appearing as squares (and, I hope, finally put our scrolling issues to bed)
• Fixed settings icons not rendering properly on iOS 17
• Fixed a bug where connecting to instances on localhost was impossible
• Smoothed out editor sheet animations
• Fixed logging in before email verification crashing the app
• Fixed opening posts from URL links crashing the app
• Fixed swipey action animation and context menu animation trying to run at the same time (ONLY on iOS 17—Apple fixed

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.

Features and Improvements

• Added a new "Classic Lemmy" icon, designed by yours truly, based on the Lemmy logo
• Refined the onboarding flow. The instance list now only shows the top 30 instances, with the others accessible via search; we've also smoothed out the navigation between pages.
• Refined the editor. Now it can be pulled down to only cover half the screen so you can see context while you're composing, and it can't be swipe-dismissed so you won't accidentally lose a half-written post.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed images not prefetching
• Fixed the first ~40 posts not showing up
• Fixed posts loading after the end of the feed
• Fixed large posts rendering incorrectly on iPad

Cheers

I'm going to start by saying we didn't actually want to release this one just yet. A couple major instances changed their API spec without updating the published build number, which led to us needing to rush out a fix, so what we've got isn't quite fully cooked yet. Anyway, we figured it would be more fun to ship what we've got then to ship a patch, so here's what's new:

Features and Improvements

• Added an option to upvote posts on save (comments still WIP)
• Added an option to show the user avatar in the tab bar instead of the generic profile
• Made profile headers more readable
• Updated the behavior of the NSFW filter. In expanded post mode, tapping anywhere on the image will dismiss the filter; in feed, the filter can still only be dismissed by tapping the warning sign.
• Added post overscroll for the jump button

Bug Fixes

• Fixed website icon not appearing in the right place on thumbnails
• Fixed the "share" button crashing the app on iPad
• Fixed the widget customizer not work

We're motoring on ahead towards our 1.0.2 RC. It's a little ways off yet, but we've just got so many new changes that we couldn't help but share them with you.

What's new:

• The Widget Wizard: fully customize your post and comment interaction widgets with a new drag-and-drop interface! Check it out in Settings -> Appearance -> Posts or Comments -> Customize Widgets
• Jump button: we've added a handy little button to jump to the next top-level comment. You can disable it in Settings -> Comments.
• Instant post feedback: we've done some major backend work on how we handle posts to make the app more stable and set up new features down the line. You'll notice that posts now apply your interactions immediately, rather than waiting for network round trip. You might also notice some new bugs, which we would love to hear about.
• Onboarding: new users now get a proper onboarding flow. You can check it out by removing all your accounts from Mlem.
• Collapse post content: in the detailed post
