It’s great how mlem keeps evolving and there’s some incredible work being done here, thanks :)

There‘s sadly one deal breaker for me: mlem doesn’t scroll smoothly.

It may seem like it’s not a big deal, but for an app that’s showing a feed and where 90% of the time I’m scrolling, it ruins the experience for me. Is there anything that can be done on that front? Or maybe I’m the only one who feels that way.

Again, thanks for your hard work :)

TL;DR: Mlem v1 is not fast; Mlem 2.0 (announcements coming soon!) will be.

We’re aware of a number of performance issues with the current codebase, which all together result in the app not behaving as responsively as we’d like. Unfortunately these are largely due to design choices made during the hectic sprint to App Store release last summer, and so are infeasible to fix without rewriting the app from the ground up—which is why that’s precisely what we’re doing. Our 2.0 build should be significantly faster; we’ll have some announcements about that in the near future.

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.
