I know the developers are working hard and I’m sure they’ll be coming with Mlem updates. I hope to see a notification centre being added, as well as the posts being collapsed instead of full-length. Do you wish for an Apollo type of design, or similar?

Edit: just a heads-up, I am not in any way affiliated with LemmyNet nor its devs. You can also voice your suggestions via Testflight by beta-using Mlem.

      It would be fucking amazing if Christian ports Apollo for Lemmy. But for that Lemmy needs to have enough audience.

        One could argue that the best way to do that is to port Apollo like Tweetbot did with Ivory. These third party clients hold more power than they think. If they all migrate then the users will follow. Reddit is just the hosting. Abstract that away behind clients and you have the same thing.

    Swipe to vote, Community grouping, Enhanced media viewer, Customizable themes and layout!

    That’s it! :)

    Don’t get lost implementing fancy features at the beginning, concentrate on supporting what the Lemmy web UI does and try to provide a smooth and pleasant experience on iOS.

    In case you’re looking for inspiration would highly recommend to take a look at the Ice Cubes client for Mastodon. An extremely well made app.

      That would be something, Ice Cubes is great. Maybe the devs from Ice Cubes would like to create an app for Lemmy as well.

    iPad layout, swipe to vote, font scaling for comments, not just titles

    The features I’d love to see:

    • Compact / Collapsed posts
    • List of your Subscribed Communties
    • Search for Communities
    • Multi-Communities (an equivalent to the Multireddits in Apollo)

    I use (or used to use) the Multireddit feature in Apollo all the time. My big use case is that I can put “spoiler” communities there so they don’t pop up in my main feed but I can go there once I’ve seen the relevant episode! It’s also really good for grouping regional ones… like

    UK, Chill UK, UK Casual etc

    Edit: and being able to edit your own post!

      Second this. Especially community information. What community a post is in, a user is in, subscribe to the community etc.

      Also allowing local filter on the post lists. Currently it’s subscribed or all.

        Thirding this.

        It does get confusing if there are two communities that have the same name but from different instances, but you really can’t tell which it’s from.

      Just as a side-note: Multireddits are not an Apollo feature, they are a part of Reddit itself since 2013. Although, Apollo did support them before the Redesign did (which calls them “Custom Feeds”) if I’m not mistaken.

    I feel like Jerboa for Lemmy (Android’s Lemmy App) could benefit from some of these suggestions as well, so hopefully the dev is also taking a look at this thread xd.

    Apollo is the one of the best designed apps I’ve ever used, I’d take inspiration from it in any applicable way.

    Outside of obvious UI/UX improvements I’d love to see good iPad support.

    It’s been said a few times already but I really love Apollo’s swipe to vote interaction. The app looks tidy though, thanks for your work!

      I think it has potential to get there eventually. It already follows the similar design and usage philosophies, and I imagine the development could really take off now.

      Keep in mind that Apollo has years of full-time development behind it, whereas Mlem is essentially an early beta of an open-source passion project.

        Thank you for the point about the length of development. I essentially started Mlem a year a half ago as my very first iOS project to take my mind off the pain from a major surgery I had the the time, then it sat abandoned until I revived it just a little over month ago. So the total dev time on Mlem is only around a month and a half. It’s still a little baby 😊

    I’d love to see a Dark Mode personally, but also a way to see what’s on the homepage of a instance. I like to check that (kind of like r/all) to get news or things outside my main subscribed community’s

      Just FYI, if iOS is in dark mode, so is Mlem. So it has dark mode, I guess it just needs a user setting for it when you want it different from your OS theme

    Loving the app so far. Here are some things I’d like to see implemented at some point (in no particular order):

    • Option to NOT show the entire post on the feed. Similar to Apollo, we should have option to just show the Post Title and maybe a few lines from the post itself. Then click into to expand. Right now you see the entire post which some times takes up the whole screen
    • Tap to collapse (comment section)
    • Submitting posts via the app
    • Ability to cross-post within the app
    • Swipe to vote (similar to Apollo)
    • See your Post/Comment history

    If they could almost replicate this to Apollo. Or even bring Christian aboard to help out. This app would take off instantly. Thousands of people are on his side. This would easily be a huge competition for Reddit within just a few days.
