Yes, we can see them! When Mlem crashes on the TestFlight, you will get an option to share crash logs with us. In some cases this is very useful for us because it shows us the entire traceback of the error, which can help us to reproduce the problem.

If you can reproduce an issue consistently we prefer you submit it via GitHub too if possible. GitHub allows us to keep track of which issues we’ve resolved or not resolved, we’re able to ask follow up questions, and you as the reporter are able to see when we’ve fixed it. If you mention in the GitHub that you’ve submitted a crash log (and roughly what time you submitted it at, if the crash log was anonymous) then we can find the relevant crash log which is super helpful for us.

We don’t really have a notification system set up for TestFlight feedback. I go through it whenever I remember to, but I frequently forget 😅 A lot of people submitted similar crash reports to the one you submitted feedback on, but that particular issue is difficult to reproduce consistently so make take some time to fix.

As Eric said, if you tap on the error it’ll give you more info. Have you tried a different image? Some instances impose a maximum file size on the images you can upload. If that happens, it’ll show the “error” toast. We’d like to make that error case show a more obvious warning in future.

Thanks. It looks like this only happens on beehaw.org so it’s possibly related to older Lemmy versions. We’ll look into fixing it 👍

Thanks for the bug report. Do you have a link to a comment chain where this happens?

Hi! In the Mlem v2 beta there’s a setting for this at General -> Swipe Actions. In Mlem v1 this isn’t possible.

Hi! Mlem v1 requires iOS 16 or later and Mlem v2 requires iOS 17 or later. Supporting a wider range of versions would take up significantly more development time, and prevent us from using newer APIs. For that reason we choose to support only the two most recent iOS versions, which most of our users fall under.

We’re sorry that you can’t use Mlem on your old iPad. You could try Voyager instead, which supports any iOS version (I think).

Thanks for the info. That’s not the intended behavior; we’ll make sure it works properly in Mlem v2. Sorry about that!

Hey! In Mlem v1 there’s a setting for this at General > Confirm Image Uploads. We haven’t added this to the beta version yet but will be doing so.

I’m glad you’re enjoying Mlem :)

Hey! We haven’t implemented post searching yet, though we’ll be implementing it in the next version of Mlem (2.0).

To block an instance, you need to go to the instance page. You can do this by searching for the instance in the “Search” tab, or by tapping the (…) button in the top-right of a community page or profile page and tapping the instance name. In the instance page, you can tap the (…) button in the top-right and then choose “block” to block the instance.

To view blocked instances go to the Settings tab, then tap the button at the top of the page (your username), then tap “Blocklist”.

I should mention that I can’t get the new Testflight to work either. I use the old version, the Testflight for some reason is unavailable to me. Is it perhaps because I use an older model iPhone?

We closed the old TestFlight, as we don’t plan to release any major updates to Mlem v1 aside from critical bug fixes. The new TestFlight is for testing the upcoming Mlem v2, and requires iOS 17 or later. Mlem v1 supported iOS 16 and above. You can read more about our reasons for dropping iOS 16 support here.

Similarly, I sometimes don’t see comments, eg. a post might have 5 comments but I only see 3 or none.

Yeah, this happens because the Lemmy API only returns a limited number of comments initially for large comment threads. It’s the client’s responsibility to request more comments when needed. On the Lemmy website UI, you have to click a “Load (x) more comments” button, and it’ll load the rest. Mlem v1 (and presumably Voyager) haven’t implemented this yet. We’re planning to add it to Mlem v2.

We’re glad you like it 😄

Thanks for the report 👍 We’re tracking the issue here and will look into fixing it.

I’m glad you’re enjoying Mlem!

Voyager also seems to handle GIFs in comments better, is that something on the cards for Mlem?

It’s something we’d like to add at some point; we’re tracking the issue here. It may end up being in 2.0 or may not be.

Is there a plan to introduce swiping forward? I frequently accidentally swipe back to the community list and lose my place in the feed.

We’d love to have this feature but it is annoyingly very difficult to implement. The framework we’re using doesn’t natively support this, and neither does the framework that framework is built on. Apollo had this, but the code is of course closed-source so we can’t get any insight into how they did it. We’re tracking the issue here.

Are you using the beta or the App Store build?

We shut down the old TestFlight for Mlem v1, which you can read about here. You can find links to join the new TestFlight in this post.

Yep, it’ll be back :)

We’ll no longer be supporting iOS 16 from Mlem 2.0 onwards, I’m afraid. We’re sorry if that means you can’t use newer versions of Mlem. You can read more about our reasons for doing so here.
