Thanks everyone for all of the feedback we are getting! It’s hard to rapidly develop and push new updates while maintaining 100% usability, so your feedback is crucial to making sure things work the way they are supposed to!

If you are interested in getting the latest updates or chatting about issues and ideas, you can join the Discord server.

Please make sure that you are running the latest version of memmy as well. Changes are happening quickly and there are new features getting pushed daily. I suggest enabling automatic updates in TestFlight.

Happy scrolling!

    Some feedback: 1: I’m sure you are working on this, but adding the ability to search for communities should be a priority. IMHO, I would copy how Apollo has a dedicated tab on the bottom menu for search. Alternatively, see (7)

    2: A couple of features aren’t properly scaling when using the app in the “slide over” configuration on an iPad. The ones I’ve found so far are: it’s impossible to downvote a comment, the top UI elements smoosh into each other, and images don’t display without clicking on them

    3: Consider getting a bit more active about promoting the app. This is way more impressive than Mlem

    4: Consider adding a dedicated downvote button to comments. Currently people browsing with gestures disabled would not be able to downvote comments at all

    5: Consider copying how Apollo will report how many comments are in a collapsed thread / comment chain. This is required to implement (6)

    6: Consider automatically collapsing comment chains that are more than 5 replies deep.

    7: Consider creating a dedicated interface for selecting communities / all. Perhaps the dialog could be triggered by tapping the top bar, and would contain radio buttons for sorting by all / subscribed / local, as well as a list of subscribed communities. You could also include a redundant shortcut to search (or even put the entire search dialog) here (see (1))

    8: The menu when inside a community is currently missing the sidebar

    Overall, this app is amazing! —

      1. Should have the search done today. I wanted it done yesterday but time got short.
      2. I know that there’s a few UI issues, but I have some designs already ready to begin implementing, so things are going to change a lot on that front for the better.
      3. As far as promotion, most definitely will. I still want to make sure that I iron out a bunch of the issues before I do anything major though. However, I do want to aim to have something stable for the 30th of June that can be available on the App Store without TestFlight.
      4. The new designs include buttons for upvoting and downvoting posts on the comment item. This will be enabled/disabled via a setting.
      5. Good call on showing that.
      6. I will definitely be having them auto collapsed at some point here soon.
      7. I’m going to experiment with a better way to select those. In addition, need to have good ways to select for comment sorting and stuff too.
      8. Sidebar info will be availabe in new design.

      Thanks for all the good feedback!!

        Not the guy who made the original list, but if I could suggest something along the lines of number 5, maybe an option in settings to auto-collapse all child comments as well? Apollo had this and it was one of my favourite features of the app

        For #5, it also might be valuable to have an option to collapse all comments by default.

        As a side note, are there any plans to mark posts as read on scroll, and then auto-hide them? It was super nice being able to maintain a “history” and avoid revisiting posts over and over again.

        Thank you for all your incredible work on this!

          I’m a little late to the party, but I came here to suggest this too. One of my favorite Apollo features was being able to hide all read posts with a single button, so my feed was always clean of old posts I’d already interacted with.
