FAQ

When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.

Hello everyone, first post here! I’m trying to get a hang of Lemmy and Mlem at the same time. When I switch my feed to “All posts”, it looks like it’s only showing posts from my local server. Is there a way to see all posts on all servers? Thanks!

This appears to be one of the most limiting factors in Lemmy right now and is not unique to Mlem. Essentially, your instance can only “see” communities that at least one user on that instance has subscribed to.

Example: I’m on the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance. I’m not subscribed to !196@lemmy.world, but someone on lemmy.blahaj.zone IS, thus it shows up in my All feed:

lemmy.directory is trying to solve this by subscribing to as many communities as they can find, serving as an “/r/All” for Lemmy as a whole. But you can’t make an account there, so the idea is you browse the directory and subscribe to any communities you like, thus making them available to other users on your instance.

Thanks for the explainer! Looks like I was just confused about how the communities were presented. Not showing the server name alongside the community name made me think that the community was hosted locally

Also this is how Mastodon works, right?

This is confusing me as well. Where do I go for a search to uncover new sub whatever they are called and then how do I change to only see posts from that sub? Using Mlem as well and as far as it goes it seems to be ok, just missing the filter and search options for now.

Mine seems to be showing posts from other instances, but I'm not sure what I did to achieve this. Have you, while logged into your local instance, subscribed to communities on another instance yet? Maybe that has something to do with it.

[–] cablepick@lemmy.cablepick.net 1 points 1 year ago

All it takes is one person on your instance to search for a community on another and from then on your instance will track it and show in all. Only an admin could remove it after that single user triggers the search. The more users on your instance the more likely it is that at one searched for something else.

Hmm whenever I switch my feeds to “all posts” I’m pretty sure I can see everything on Mlem. I’m honestly not sure what the issue could be that makes you not able to see everything since it’s all pretty new to me too.

It's the downside of federation. It would be very hard to implement and come at humongous costs/traffic.
