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.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

[Feature request] Share a picture and an URL directly from the "share..." menu (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi!

We all try to make the lemmy fediverse active by posting interesting content! It's currently painful to share a picture I just took. I would love to share it easily.

Currently :

I take a picture
I select "share..." in the iOS menu
I send it to myself as an email to resize it (otherwise it will be rejected because it's too heavy)
I save the picture in my photos
I launch a lemmy app
I go to the right community
I create a new post
I browse the photo library to get the picture

What I would love :

I take a picture
I select "share..." in the iOS menu, I find a lemmy app
I am ready to select the community
(The lemmy app resizes the picture for me)

I know that it is not an easy feature to implement. However, the lemmy fediverse would gain activity from it.

Also : it's less painful, but sharing an URL directly from the browser would also be a must.

I've tossed it onto the backlog--I like the idea, but there are a lot of different moving pieces involved to make that happen. Many of them are already scoped, but I can't give a concrete timeline right now.

Thanks! I can wait!

Have you tried holding images to Imgur? I share all of my images from there. I have never needed to resize or anything, while it is not perfect it does cut down on steps.
