  • Yep, this is a known issue. When a comment chain gets too long, Lemmy doesn’t send all of the comments in the initial API response. When this happens, the web UI displays a “show n more replies” button that can be tapped to load the remaining comments:

    We just haven’t got around to adding this button to Mlem yet, but it’s something we will certainly look into in future. We’re tracking the issue here.

    Sorry I didn’t see your comment until now; your post didn’t federate to lemmy.ml properly for some reason so I only just saw it whilst using my alt account.

    Hey there! We’re sorry this isn’t working for you. Just to be clear, you should be typing “lemm.ee” in the “Instance” field and “chimera” in the “username” field.

    If that doesn’t work, there’s unfortunately something wrong with our login system. I’m currently unable to find the root cause - I’ve tried creating an account on lemm.ee, and am able to login without any problems. I’ve created an issue on our GitHub repository here and will let you know if we make any progress.

    Hey there! Mlem doesn’t control the way that posts are sorted when using the “Hot” sort mode - that’s something that Lemmy does. The mechanism of the “Hot” sorting algorithm is described in detail here.

    You may prefer to use one of the “Top of…” sort modes instead, if you’d like to see more popular posts. In Mlem, you can change the default sort mode under Settings -> Sorting -> Posts.

    Adding widgets is something we’re interested in; we’re keeping track of the feature here. Right now, it’s not high on our priority list as it doesn’t directly impact the core functionality of the app. Therefore, it’s unlikely to happen in the next few updates, though we do plan to explore it in future.




  • We’re aware of a bug in which Mlem sometimes crashes when moving into the background on iPad when “Lock with Face ID” is on. Do you have that setting enabled? We’ve looked into that issue and now know why it happens, but it’s unfortunately rather tricky to fix with our current architecture. In the next major update we’re rewriting a large part of our codebase, which should allow us to fix this.



  • Mlem doesn’t have this option just yet, but we’re adding it the next beta. Memmy and Arctic have had it for a while.

    Adding such an option is very easy to do for iOS apps - Apple provides a simple API for it, so we just have to add a settings toggle. I’m not familiar with how it works in Android development, but it may be more complicated.



  • Uploading images in comments will be in the next update, along with a fix for the inbox count bug! We’re also working on a Mark Read on Scroll option, a Modlog page and support for moderator actions (which have all been highly requested features).

    Unfortunately, full markdown support is rather tricky to do. We’ve done some deeper research into how we might implement this since the last time it was suggested; it’s a large undertaking that would require some significant time input, but it should be possible. It’s not something we’re scoping for the upcoming update, but it’s something we hope to dedicate time to further down the line.
