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.

Hey mlem folx! I’m using mlem on iOS.

I’m noticing that comment chains don’t always show up in the app. This happens one of two ways, from what I can tell:

the top level comment appears as normal, and there is an icon for however many replies, but none of them appear unless I share and open it with a browser; or,
I become eventually unable to see comments in comment chains, even if it’s a thread I am participating in.

I don’t know if this is a known thing or not, I admit I didn’t do too much looking through the history here. I hope it’s not a repost.

Yep, this is a known issue. When a comment chain gets too long, Lemmy doesn't send all of the comments in the initial API response. When this happens, the web UI displays a "show n more replies" button that can be tapped to load the remaining comments:

We just haven't got around to adding this button to Mlem yet, but it's something we will certainly look into in future. We're tracking the issue here.

Sorry I didn't see your comment until now; your post didn't federate to lemmy.ml properly for some reason so I only just saw it whilst using my alt account.
