To add a little more insight on the gifs side: video handling is the next major item I'm working on. In theory, the media framework we use should make gifs free once video handling is working, so hopefully they'll be coming soon.
We don't have a preference--we monitor both pretty actively so whatever is easiest.
Thanks for the bug report! It looks like this is due to the antique backend Beehaw is still running--we'll have a compatibility patch out soon.
Thanks for the bug report! We're working on it.
Thank you!
Haptic feedback settings aren't in the current build, but we'll have them in the next! That build should ship tomorrow.
Is there a way to preserve settings from the old version to the new?
Not right now. We've rewritten and reorganized the entire infrastructure that handles settings and configuration, and the new and old schemas are more or less alien. We've got an issue open to build a settings import/export tool which will allow things like easily migrating settings across platforms that should also make this possible.
Hmm, that's strange. Have you tried manually opting out of testing ("Stop Testing" in the TestFlight app) and clicking the link again?
Welcome to the Mlem 2.0 Feedback Megathread! This is where we will be posting changelogs for the Weekly TestFlight (the Stable Pre-Release changelogs will get full posts), so check back here to see what's new!
This is also the place to post feedback on the Weekly beta (or you can just open an issue on our GitHub if that's your style).
Please be aware that this is an early beta build, may be missing features you consider essential. See the "Roadmap" section of our 2.0 release post for more details.

We’ve got a lot more in the works, so if you commented yesterday with a bug or feature request that isn’t mentioned here, stay tuned! We expect to be releasing builds fairly rapidly over the next few days.
2024-08-28
This is the initial beta release. We're still bringing 2.0 up to feature parity with 1.0--this build should have everything you need to browse and interact with Lemmy. Please note that post creation and moderation tools are not currently supported in the 2.0 build--post creation is in active development and moderator tools are a high-priority item, so if you want to join the beta but those are important to you, check back in a week or two!
We've also got some new features:
- Markdown support
- Tiled post layout
- Keep place on account switch (allows you to switch accounts without fully reloading the app)
- Guest accounts
- Color themes
Check out our 2.0 release post for more details on the new release.
Hi Mlem Community,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our 2.0 public beta!
Please be aware that this is an early beta build, may be missing features you consider essential. See the "Roadmap" section further down for a full list.
We’re trying out a new TestFlight structure with two groups:
- Weekly: this group gets a weekly build with the latest state of our development branch. Changelogs for these builds will be posted to the new Beta Feedback Megathread
- Stable Pre-Release: this group receives curated manual releases that have been tested by the bleeding edge group. Each release represents a coherent development scope, and changelogs for these builds will get their own “New Beta Release” posts.
If you prefer the most stable, feature-rich Mlem experience, we encourage you to stay on our v1 until 2.0 is ready for the App Store.
What’s New
Markdown Support
- Full Markdown rendering powered by our custom cmark-gfm fork
- Rich Markdown editing tools built right into the keyboard
Tiled Posts
The new “Tiled” post layout renders posts in a 2-column grid, giving you the content density of Compact mode with much larger thumbnails.
Keep Place on Account Switch
You can now switch accounts without losing your place in feed, perfect for saving a post to a different account. This behavior can be toggled in Settings -> Accounts; you can also long press an account in the quick switcher to choose your refresh behavior.
Updated Middleware
We rebuilt how we communicate with and manage instances from the ground up to address the challenges of a federated platform and give us a clean, strong base to build future updates on. Backend changes aren’t very visible (for now--we’ve got some very exciting features planned to take full advantage of the new architecture), but they support a lot of the new features in this list.
Guest Accounts
You can now add guest accounts to any instance and browse its content without creating an account!
Performance Improvements
We’ve also refactored our entire UI structure to cut out a lot of inefficiencies present in the v1 codebase. The result is a noticeably snappier app.
Color Themes
Or, properly, a framework to support color themes. Right now you can choose between Default and Monochrome, but more are on the way!
UI Upgrades
We’ve kept the majority of our v1 UI/UX, but taken the opportunity to spruce some things up. See if you can spot what’s new!
Misc
- Improved cross-instance resolution—opening content not accessible from your instance now opens the content in-app using a guest session on the host instance, rather than in the browser
- The subscription list can now be sorted alphabetically or by instance
- Post creator is now hidden by default in aggregate feeds. This behavior can be changed in Settings -> Posts.
Roadmap
This is by no means a complete list of everything we have planned, but it’s the major outstanding items we have mapped out. If there are v1 features missing from this list that you’d like to see prioritized, let us know and we’ll work that into our development plan!
- Post/comment improvements
- Inline image uploads in comments
- Create posts
- Crossposts
- Moderation/administration tools
- Mod mail
- Moderator, administrator actions
- Moderated feed
- Media improvements
- Improved image handling (all backend work, but should improve performance)
- Proper video handling
- Post and comment searching
- iPad support
- Keyword filtering
- Settings icons
- Mark read on scroll
Known Issues
- You will need to sign back into your accounts. This is an unfortunate consequence of migrating the app from Lionel Hanners' account to my own. We apologize for the inconvenience.
- The tile layout can be a little stuttery. We’re working on a fix with the “Improved image handling” item.
- Navigation and tab bar accents remain gray after closing the composer sheet
- Tall images in website previews don’t get appropriately cropped

It's looking like we'll have the public 2.0 TestFlight launched within the next couple of weeks, though the error bars on that timeline are pretty wide because development speed is dependent on our free time. You can also check our roadmap post for a feature-by-feature list of what's left; we're expecting to merge a couple of the outstanding items in the next few days.

[ Community Update ] State of the Mlem 2023-07-22: TestFlight Closing (for now!), 2.0 Roadmap
(lemmy.ml)
Hi Mlem Community,
We’ve been quiet recently, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy! Our development efforts over the last few months have been primarily focused on our 2.0 build. This is a ground-up rebuild, which is no small undertaking. We’ve solidified our backend groundwork, and are now well into rebuilding the UI with a clear roadmap to an early TestFlight beta.
As we mentioned in April, We’re also taking the opportunity to move the app from Lionel Hanners’ account to mine. Doing this requires shutting down the TestFlight, and since we aren’t planning any major releases against the v1 codebase, we’re going to keep it down until 2.0 is ready for beta testing.
Roadmap
We want to get 2.0 into your hands as quickly as we can, and so we’re planning to ship a TestFlight as soon as we have a minimal working feature set for daily use. That feature set is:
- All non-moderator feed options
- All (DONE)
- Local (DONE)
- Subscribed (DONE)
- Saved (DONE)
- Community (DONE)
- Profile (DONE)
- Search (DONE)
- Non-moderator Inbox
- View replies/mentions/messages (DONE)
- Reply to items (IN PROGRESS)
- Reports
- Posts (DONE)
- Comments (DONE)
- Messages (DONE)
- Account deletion (IN PROGRESS)
- Persist favorite communities (IN PROGRESS)
Bonus features:
- A brand new post layout option
- Full support for Lemmy’s custom Markdown dialect
- Color themes
- Guest mode
- Sort community list by instance
We also have a few features we’re making good progress on and hope to have in the 2.0 release, but might come a little later:
- Basic video handling (videos play properly, tap to play/pause) (IN PROGRESS)
- Improved iPad UX (IN PROGRESS)
We’ll put out an announcement when the new TestFlight takes off with a link to join, and keep this post (roughly) up-to-date with development.
Cheers,
Update 2024-07-24 19:45 EST
The v1 TestFlight is officially shut down. A massive thanks to all our testers, and we can't wait to launch the new v2 TestFlight!
Mlem 1.3.3 is live!
Changes in this patch:
- Added a Paste Link from Clipboard button to the Search tab. If the pasted link is a valid Lemmy URL, Mlem will attempt to open it on your home instance.
- Fixed an issue where certain menu actions were erroneously displayed
- Added compatibility logic for the upcoming 2.0 build
This update has been rolled out to both the TestFlight and App Store environments.

Known Issues
We are aware of an issue where the iPad app crashes when closing it or switching apps. We have been trying to reproduce this in our development environment for weeks, but to no success. If you can reproduce this bug and have the technical fluency to build and run our app using Xcode, please reach out—we’d love to get this fixed, but are completely stuck until we can get detailed crash logs.

Hi Mlem community,
We're putting the final touches on our 1.3 update, which means it's time to start looking to the future.
Mlem 2.0
It's been nearly a year since Mlem took off, and we've come a long way in that time. We've also learned a lot about the shortcomings of our initial architecture, but in the interests of reaching feature richness we have simply been working around them. 1.3 represents a broad enough feature set that we feel comfortable taking the time to go back and rebuild that original architecture with eight months' experience to guide us.
Mlem 2.0 will look and feel just about the same, but the new architecture will let us deliver many features that are impossible under the current system, including guest mode and multi-account functionality. It should also be more performant, since we won't need all our weird workarounds we bolted on to handle cases we didn't know existed eight months ago.
We'll also be taking the opportunity to clean up the non-technical side of the house. The app will be transferred from Lionel Hanners' account to my own, and we will be completely refreshing the TestFlight beta.
iOS Compatibility
Mlem 1.3 will be the final version of Mlem that is compatible with iOS 16. Mlem 2.0’s architecture is built on powerful new SwiftUI features that are only available on iOS 17 and above, and so Mlem 2.0 and beyond will only support iOS 17+.
Cheers,
We’ve fixed several bugs and made some minor tweaks to the 1.3 beta. We have one final beta build planned before we upgrade it to a Release Candidate.
Cheers,
Minor Changes
- Added the ability to block instances from the nav bar menu of the instance details page. NOTE: due to quirks of the Lemmy API, this is currently only available when navigating to the instance from a community, or from a user if you are on an instance running 0.19.4+; it is not available when navigating to an instance from search. This will be fixed in the next beta build.
- Mark read on scroll no longer marks posts read while they are still visible
- Added instance uptime support for toast.ooo and szmer.info
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the interaction bar widgets resetting when upgrading to 1.3
- Fixed sent messages not being filtered when “filter read” is active
- Fixed the inbox tab unread badge sometimes showing "-1” (again)
- Fixed user blocking not showing a confirmation dialog. It will now prompt for confirmation when blocking from profile; when blocking from a post, no additional dialog will be shown beyond the “Block” -> “Block User” flow.
- Fixed incorrect padding in post report sheet
- Fixed an issue where subscribing to a large number of communities would negatively impact the app’s performance. This should make the app noticeably snappier for most users, especially those subscribed to 100+ communities.

Upcoming planned TestFlight releases will further improve Mod Mail by adding swipe actions to moderator items and a setting for customizing the report interaction bar widgets the same way as for posts and comments.
