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.

An icon designed with input from the developers. What do we think? (lemmy.ml)

Main takeaway: I like it a lot, greatly prefer it over the current one.

Minor suggestions:

Perhaps scale down the tongue. It’s a bit overwhelming.

I think the eyes should be a different colour, they’re a bit close to the background which with them them so big makes the eyes blend in. Typically you want eyes to be …well… eyecatching! Though I’m not sure what to suggest as you don’t want too many colours on the icon.

Personally I prefer flatter designs, but I don’t really mind a more skeuomorphic design.

Also I am not a designer, so ignore me with my blessing haha

I really do not like the tongue out.

It gives me clown vibes. But it’s better than the current one.

Some feedback intended to be constructive, thanks for contributing to the process!

The gradient on the mouse is a bit too much for me. I would prefer it to look flatter. Compared to the look of most modern app icons, it’s just too 3D for my brain.
I like the tongue sticking out and the eyes, but my suggestion would be to slightly tone them down. Maybe make them smaller in size (eyes in particular)?
My personal preference is that the mouse take up a little more space in the icon, but that’s just nitpicking.

FYI it’s a Lemming

Ah, a that makes sense. That being said though, I would personally recommend drastically scaling down the ears for a more lemming like look.
