Gk is rewriting the entire app rn. I unfortunately don’t have the time to help with it atm or it would be much faster. But be a little patient and we will eventually have it back to full functionality.
If you want a stable version i recommend the App Store version, not test flight
Lesson to users: don't act all entitled when you're using a FOSS app developed in people's free time :) We work on what we want to work on, one of those things were themes. Neither of us use the hide seen posts feature so thats why it doesn't get much attention. Feel free to learn React Native and contribute a fix though, I'm sure you'll get around to that!
Nah, the image handling is just very difficult. We’re using an animation library to handle the image gestures. It’s insane that there is no good image handling library for React Native. Boggles my mind how many basic things seem to be missing in the RN ecosystem that any app would need.
As others have said, you should check out Avelon. It’s my favorite Lemmy app after ours
It’s driving me nuts too. We haven’t been able to figure it out yet, we seriously have no idea. Trust me it’s the number one issue i have as well. Stuff like that is part of the motivation for a rewrite.
Sorry neither of us have looked at it, haven’t been in the habit of checking recently. I made a note to review it tomorrow
Mostly the stuff with lemmy.world banning the piracy community. (FWIW I think they have every right to ban whatever community they want on their server)
Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.
Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.
But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.
We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!
That would be pretty easy to implement actually. But at least for comments we wanted it to be a short press like in Apollo. I use it all the time that way and would rather not have to long press. I think with some tweaking it can be improved, unfortunately we both just aren't react native experts so we're learning as we go.
I’ve made it so that you can also hold the Feed button to open the drawer while in the feed. I don’t remember if this is deployed to test flight or App Store though. If it’s not then eventually you will be able to do that.
I’m trying to make the link clickable area bigger to avoid this problem in general with posts and comments. So that should partially resolve it. Maybe we can also add an option to disable collapsing posts
Uhhh... Can you please show me a video of this happening? Long pressing a link isn't supported so it should just count as long pressing the comment which is what happens when I try to reproduce
Copying a previous comment:
It’s been on our todo list but we have been a little burnt out from Memmy development and lemmy in general so things have been slow. Plus I’ve been addicted to baldurs gate.
It’s been on our todo list but we have been a little burnt out from Memmy development and lemmy in general so things have been slow. Plus I’ve been addicted to baldurs gate. We have a ticket for it in github
Link isn’t working i assume bc of the period but removing the period still doesn’t make it work

Hi everyone,
We are aware that the TestFlight version is pretty unstable at the moment, with a lot of bugs and crashing. This is because we are in the middle of rewriting our entire state management. We appreciate the testers who let us know what issues there, are but please be respectful when doing so.
If you don't wish to deal with the current instability of the TestFlight version, please download the App Store version as that is meant to be stable. When using TestFlight, you get all the latest features, but that also means you get the latest bugs too :D
As another reminder, creating bug reports in GitHub is still the best way to have your issue addressed.
Thank you to everyone who helps us test Memmy!
