I’m not the guy you replied to but I just wanted to say thanks for mentioning wefwef. I hadn’t heard of it before but I just looked it up and gave it a try. This app (well, mobile web app) looks amazing! The UI is very similar to Apollo and I think it will help me through this painful transition from Reddit to Lemmy. Thanks again :)

Well that’s strange.

If you happen to have another iPhone, you could use it to rule out your theory that the issue is caused by the caching.

So if you download the Mlem app on a separate iPhone, then it shouldn’t be affected by the cache, which I assume is stored locally on your current iPhone (although I’m also not a iOS dev, so I wouldn’t know if that’s true).

Hmm I didn’t think it was possible for cached app data to remain after the app has been deleted, but I could be wrong.

I was going to suggest that maybe your Lemmy server was busy so you should try again later, but I see on your GitHub issue that you’ve tried two different instances, so that’s probably not the issue.

I assume you’ve already tried restarting your phone, and I assume you are already using the latest version of iOS. I’m not sure if there’s any benefit to deleting and reinstalling the TestFlight app as well?

Sorry, I think you’ve done all you can do :( I hope the Mlem devs are able to fix the issue soon.

Oh no, sorry to hear that. Yeah I feel better about only losing my favourites now lol. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app?

I don’t know if this is expected behaviour or a bug, but I lost all my favourite subs too, so you’re not the only one who has been affected.

I was only using the favourites feature because I wanted a way to list all the communities that I’m subscribed to. As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a way to view your subs list yet (though please correct me if I’m wrong).

Great work. Thanks for your hard work.

I’d like to make a couple of points if that’s ok:

  • I had marked some subs as favourites within the Mlem app, but they have been removed from my favourites since the update to version 0.0.7 Beta (I’m not complaining btw, just wanted to make you aware in case it affects other users too).

  • I noticed that the posts themselves support Dynamic Text (a feature that enables users to choose the size of onscreen text in iOS) as well as the text box to leave a reply…. But the actual comments on the posts are always at a fixed size. It makes it difficult for people with visual impairments because they can’t increase the size of the font in the comments. I can’t find this issue mentioned on the Github board. Am I allowed to request the feature there even though I’m not a dev?

Again, thanks for your hard work.

Nice. Thanks for sharing the link to the project board. It’s good to see that the hide post feature (#36) has the “now” priority.
