In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I’ve submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.
I’d anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it’s possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I’ve had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there’s a chance it will happen today. I’ll update you all when that happens.
Improvements and additions:
- New icon and options for changing icon color
- New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
- Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
- Performance enhancments throughout the app
- Hide read posts
- Images in comments
- Collapsible posts
- Default comment sort
- All of the “Top” sort options
- Show a loading modal while downloading images
- Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
- Add option for reader in webview
- Settings improvements
- Added embark theme
- Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
- Adjustments to splashscreen
- Username doesn’t link to user profile in compact mode now
- Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser
Fixes:
- Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
- Fix cake day showing the wrong year
- Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
- Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
- Read icon now uses the correct color
- Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
- Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end
If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.
I didn’t get into the test flight. I downloaded as soon as it was available in the App Store. I’m loving it but anxiously awaiting the update to fix profile not loading. I’ve never had my profile load successfully
Are you using your email to sign in? If so, can you try signing in with your username?
I was. Changing to my username worked. Thanks!
Not going to lie, I miss the old memmy app logo but happy with the progress
i like that its not a damn mouse lol. it was kinda ugly.
I’m going to throw it in the next update. I actually was going to do it now but it was a headache like you couldn’t imagine getting the icon switching to work. Had a list of things to do that just never materialized because of how long it took me to get that done.
No problem, I respect the work 👍
I really like the new logo and colour, but giving people the choice is a great idea.
I appreciate the option to have different app icons! I personally love the Saturn.
And the latest testflight version is absolutely mint, it’s insane how fast you’re implementing improvements
Same. I prefer the little lemmy mouse to the planet. The new colours are dope tho. I’d love to see the lemmy mouse in a different style. Maybe we can get Apollo-style designer submissions for icons? 😍
I don’t think we’ll really iterate on the mouse, we’ll put the existing icon in there but i wouldn’t really expect new ones. We will definitely accept submissions for icons though and put the ones we like best in. Probably will want to set up a formal process for that.
That will be amazing. You guys are awesome when it comes to feedback 🙏🙌
Fantastic launch! Looking forward to following the development
Would the option to swipe back from anywhere be possible for people that don’t use the voting gestures?
Second this, probably my most missed feature from Apollo.
We plan on adding this eventually
I must say, I’m using the TestFlight build and the app is as smooth as ever. Night and day difference from the version of like a week ago.
Thank you for all your hard work I can’t wait to see what you do with the app moving forward
You have done amazing! Honestly the speed at which you release is phenomenal and pretty intimidating for someone who works in software, it sets a new benchmark in my opinion.
One thing that would be handy is the ability to share to Memmy from other apps via the share sheet
The ability to follow topics via a saved search or similar would also be handy.
Also the ability to bookmark a community but not have it appear in my feed would also be useful
Just feedback, overall this is such a polished app, I’m super impressed

Would love to see few features:
Ability to filter/block a community directly from feed, without having to go to that community.
A keyword filter list that hides post with those words in their title.
Ability to hide posts from feed.
Keep up the great work!
It seems minor, but having community icons show next to the name is really important to me. I’d also love for the community name to be on the left side or closer to the title of the post (like it was in Apollo).
If you’re not on TestFlight, just know this is already done.
I’m not (it said it was full) — perfect!
Ok, that swipe animation do be nice tho.
One of the things I remember back from Alien Blue (I think) was that when you had a picture full screen, you could kinda grab it and “toss” if any direction to go back to the post. I think the official Reddit app may do this, but 🤷♂️
Also, scrubbing in Apollo was amazing. I noticed “wefwef” may have implemented if already.
(First time trying your app, so I will correct any inaccuracies if someone will kindly correct me)
Still waiting patiently for the update to show in the App Store. And by patiently I mean checking 3 times a day lmao. But I can’t believe the devs for this app. So impressed with how it’s been mostly flawless for the week I’ve used it. Will be donating soon!
Glad i´m not the only one! Apple must be busy, tiny bit over the the expected 8-24hours by now heh
Update is out now
Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
Please let me hide them :-(
You can already hide them! Go to settings -> content -> hide comment actions. (I think actions) I added this when i implemented the buttons but forgot to tell gk that part lol. We’ve gotten some complaints about people not knowing how to vote on a comment so i made it shown by default instead.
Yeah, someone tipped me off about this in another thread, thanks :-)
We’ve gotten some complaints
I noticed! I found this very surprising tbh, but hey, at least it’s a decent option to have.
No please keep them
I’m asking for a way to hide them. I’m not asking for this feature to be removed, I just want a way to toggle this option off.
👍🏻
Don’t worry it will be there today :)
Thanks, appreciate it!
Memmy has a perfect 5.0 rating on the App Store. Well done!
Swipe to dissmiss on pictures have issue now after last update Before it was so smooth and fast
Is there a way to get the community icon to show up in the main page instead of the planet? Can’t wait for the AppStore version to come out!
