Mlem for Lemmy 1.3: Moderation

Mlem 1.3 is now live on the App Store! This version brings a suite of moderation and administration tools to Mlem, along with some other highly requested features.

Cheers,

--------

Mark Read on Scroll

When this setting is enabled, posts are marked read as you scroll past them. Enable it under Settings -> General -> Mark Read on Scroll.

Inbox Redesign

!

The "Inbox" tab has been redesigned to be compact and easier to use.

Replies and Mentions now use the same interaction bar as comments, which is customizable under Settings -> Appearance -> Comments -> Customize Widgets.
Each inbox tab now shows the unread count for that category.
Private messages are now labeled as "sent" or "received".

Select Text

Posts and comments now have a "select text" menu action, letting you highlight text from the post/comment and quickly copy/paste it elsewhere.

Inline Image Uploading

Images can now be uploaded inline in posts, comments, messages and reports. If you cancel before submitting, Mlem will request that your instance deletes any images that you may have uploaded.

Save Images from Feed

Images can now be saved or shared without opening the image viewer by long-pressing on the image in the feed.

Show Website Host in Compact/Headline Mode

!

This replaces the thumbnail indicator for link posts, which was removed. It can be re-enabled under Settings -> Accessibility -> Website Thumbnail Indicator.

Instance Uptime

A new tab in the instance page lets you see the uptime of that instance. This is only available for select instances. The data is fetched from https://lemmy-status.org.

!

Better Blocking

Instances can now be blocked from the nav bar menu of the instance page
Your list of blocked users, communities, and instances can now be viewed and managed (Settings -> Account -> Block List).

Performance Improvements

Fixed an issue where subscribing to a large number of communities would negatively impact the app's performance. This should make the app noticeably snappier for most users, especially those subscribed to 100+ communities.

Moderation Actions

The following moderator and administrator actions are now available:

Pin a post to community or instance
Lock a post
Remove posts, comments and messages
Ban users from a community or instance
Purge posts, comments, messages, users, and communities
View votes of a post/comment. Only admins can do this right now, but as of 0.19.4 moderators will be able to do this too.
Add and remove moderators of a community

You can customise how these actions are displayed in Settings -> Moderation. By default, the "remove" and "ban creator" actions are shown for posts in the feed.

Other actions, such as Pin and Lock, are accessible via the ellipsis menu in the expanded post. These actions can be made available in the feed as well under Settings -> Moderation -> Show All Actions in Feed.

Settings -> Moderation also allows moderation actions to be hidden in a disclosure group:

!

Or as a completely separate menu:

!

You can add and remove moderators from the "Moderation" section of communities you moderate. Users can also be appointed as moderators from the ellipsis menu of their profile.

"Moderated" Feed

The new "Moderated" feed shows posts from communities you moderate.

Mod Mail

Mod Mail has been integrated into the Inbox tab. It can be accessed by tapping the drop-down at the top of the Inbox page, or by tapping the "Inbox" tab icon when already viewing the tab. In the Mod Mail, you can view and act on both reports and registration applications.

!

By default, the unread mod mail count is included in the Inbox tab's unread badge. You can customize which types of notification are included under Settings -> Appearance -> Tab Bar.

Swipe actions are available on all mod mail items, and the widgets can be customized under Settings -> Moderation -> Customize Widgets

Modlog

Added the ability to view the moderation log for a community or instance. The modlog for communities can be found under 'Moderation' in the community page, and for instances under 'Administration' in the instance details page.

Fediseer Integration

A new "Trust & Safety" tab on instance pages displays the guaranteed status of that instances, along with any endorsements, hesitations or censures it may have received.

!

Minor Changes

The Saved feed can now be filtered by posts or comments only.
The upvote, downvote, save and reply actions now display side-by-side in context menus, and the "Block User" and "Block community" are now consolidated under "Block".
The ellipsis menu in the expanded post view has moved from beside the post title to the toolbar, making it accessible from anywhere on the page.
Added the option to always open links in reader mode (Settings -> Links -> Open in Reader)
Added a new app icon, "Ocean".
Keyword filters no longer apply to communities you moderate.
Updated the bubble-style picker animation.
Removed the confirmation popup for "Report".
Pinned posts are now rendered compactly in the community view once read.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the inbox tab unread badge sometimes showing "-1".
Fixed the instance pin icon not showing in compact mode.
Fixed sent messages being permanently displayed as unread.
The comment collapse animation now respects the system "Reduce Motion" setting.
Image save failure now displays an error message.
Biometric unlock now prompts for device password on failure.
Deleted and removed comments now collapse properly.

Mlem for Lemmy 1.2

Mlem 1.2 is out of beta and live on the App Store! We’ve got loads of new features big and small for you to enjoy.

Major Features

Profile editor: you can now change your display name, biography, avatar and banner image, and matrix ID. Check it out in Settings -> Account.
Easy-tap links: links detected in posts and comments now get a nice big tappable button at the bottom of the post. You can copy and share these links via long-press on the link button, and customize their behavior in Settings -> General.
Tab bar navigation: tapping the currently selected tab while at the top of the feed will navigate back. Reselecting the search tab from the top of the feed will focus the search bar.
Upgraded post composer: we’ve made the post composer prettier, added the ability to upload images from files and clipboard, and made it show the account you're posting from. It also now displays a warning if your post runs afoul of your instance’s slur filter.
Instance page: you can now view detailed instance information, accessible from a community or profile via the ellipsis menu in the navigation bar.
Saved content feed: saved content has moved! It’s now listed under Feeds along with all the other feeds, and you can also open it from the app shortcuts.

Minor Features

Voting icons are now colorized in compact mode
“Report” and “Block” items in context menus are now colored red and ask for confirmation
Fixed some inconsistent wording and incorrect capitalization
Improved performance of markdown rendering
Redesigned the account switcher and tweaked the behavior of long press/swipe up: long press on profile now swaps accounts immediately if you have two accounts and opens the switcher if you have more, while swipe up always opens the switcher. Both of these gestures can be enabled and disabled in Settings -> Accounts -> Quick Switcher
Added an indicator to posts from subscribed communities in All and Local feeds
Added headers to feed pages
Redesigned app icon selector
Added more app icons
Added a new comments indicator to posts you’ve already viewed
Added the option to open links in the system browser, rather than in-app
Added support for image links and shields.io badges
Added options for how your accounts are sorted in the account view and quick switcher
Tidied the settings page
Added the option to disable tap-to-collapse on comments
Refined the swipe action activation angle, so it should be harder to accidentally trigger it while scrolling
Added the option to require biometric unlocking when opening the app
Added the option to automatically collapse child comments
Redesigned the profile page

Bug Fixes

Disabled swipe actions on items embedded within the post/comment composer
Fixed a bug where favoriting a community from the ellipsis menu would cause the subscription status to display incorrectly
Fixed a bug where adding an account while already logged in would fail on instances running 0.19
Fixed a bug where account details were not being loaded in the user view
Fixed “failed to determine site version” error
Saved content now loads dynamically on scroll, rather than all at once
Fixed /u/user@instance and /c/community@instance links not behaving properly

As always, a huge thanks to our TestFlight for all their bug reports and feedback.

Mlem for Lemmy 1.1.1: 0.19 Compatibility

Mlem 1.1.1 is now available on the App Store, bringing 0.19 compatibility, new icons, and some highly-requested features!

Major Features

0.19 compatibility. Mlem is now up to date with the latest Lemmy (0.19.0-rc.12, as of this posting), meaning that users on lemmy.ml, lemmy.sdf.org, and other instances running bleeding-edge beta builds can once again use Mlem!
New default app icon designed by our very own Sjmarf. The classic Clay/s icons are still available in Settings > Appearance > App Icon, where you will find another new icon (Alien) and a neater icon organization system.
Tapping the Feeds, Inbox, and Profile icon now scrolls to the top if you are already in that tab

Minor Features

Updated the image viewer. It now appears much faster, and allows saving and sharing the image via context menu (long press).
Jump button can now be placed in the center
User labels can now display multiple flairs, including a new "banned” flair
Added top 3/6/9 months sort modes
Rewrote inbox backend. It should still behave the same, but it’s much more efficient now.
Added context menus to search results
Search bar is now always shown in the search tab
Improved “no posts found” message
Added a reset button to the Widget Wizard
Adjusted haptic feedback
Improved account deletion page

Bug Fixes

Fixed compact comments not appropriately displaying vote status when net votes are displayed
Fixed crashes and state loss when moving to the background on iPad

Mlem for Lemmy 1.1

At long last, Mlem 1.1 is ready! We’ve been working on this one for a while and are super excited to bring what we’ve been working on to the App Store:

Major Features

Fully Customizable Interaction Bar

All the buttons you want, exactly where you want them. Want to be able to upvote from both sides of the post? You can do that. Instance doesn’t support downvotes? You can remove the downvote button. Want six separate upvote buttons? Yup, you can do that too. Check it out in Settings -> Appearance - Posts or Comments -> Customize Widgets.

Enhanced Search

Search has been given a major facelift, and we’ve added the ability to search for both users and communities. You can also now subscribe directly from search results.

New Icons

We have two all-new icons for the app:

Classic Lemmy, designed by Eric Andrews, based on the Lemmy icon
Stargazer, designed by Sjmarf

Jump Button

We’ve added a button to the comments view to let you jump to the next comment, because scrolling is just too much work sometimes.

Image Uploading

Our team is never afraid to push the envelope. After countless hours of groundbreaking development, we give you the ability to upload an image while creating a post. Revolutionary, we know.

Onboarding

We now have a proper onboarding flow for new Lemmy users. If you already have an account but want to see it anyway, you can remove all your accounts from Mlem.

Minor Features

Collapse comments. Swipe all the way to the left to collapse a comment.
Collapse post content. Posts are overrated—comments are where it’s at. In the detailed post view, you can tap a post to collapse it and get straight into the comments.
Adjustable haptic levels. You can disable some or all of the haptic feedback in Settings -> General -> Haptic Level.
Opaque insets. If you think material design is just a silly fad and solid colors are the one true path, you can make your navigation and tab bars fully opaque in Settings -> Accessibility -> Translucent Insets.'
Added an option to upvote posts on save. You can find it in Settings -> General -> Upvote on Save.
Added an option to show the user avatar in the tab bar instead of the generic profile picture. You can find it in Settings -> Appearance -> Tab Bar -> Show User Avatar.
Edited posts and comments now display the updated time.

Quality-of-life and Other Improvements

Instant vote feedback. Voting on posts and comments now displays the vote instantaneously, rather than waiting for that sluggish speed-of-light roundtrip to the server.
Link posts now have an indicator on their thumbnail in Compact and Headline mode.
You can now block communities directly from posts.
Various actions have been flagged as destructive and given a nice little warning popup.
Fixed some issues with images embedded in links displaying poorly.
Fixed nav bar disappearing on device rotation.
Haptic feedback no longer causes an animation hitch on first play.
Made profile headers more readable.
Updated the behavior of the NSFW filter. In expanded post mode, tapping anywhere on the image will dismiss the filter; in feed, the filter can still only be dismissed by tapping the warning sign.
Very tall images now shrink to a max height. You can make them display in their full, glorious height in Settings -> Appearance -> Posts -> Limit Image Height In Feed.
Smoothed out editor sheet animations.
Clarified error message when trying to log into a private instance.

Bug Fixes

Addressed scrolling jumpiness. Again. I really think I’ve got it beat this time, though. Please?
Fixed a problem where the account switcher would be open when re-opening the app.
Inbox now persists unread status.
Search no longer has auto-correct or auto-capitalization.
Fixed the “share” button crashing the app on iPad.
Fixed feed refresh not behaving consistently
Fixed login not handling incorrect 2FA code properly
Added handling for inconsistent date formats across instances
Fixed unencoded URLs breaking the feed
Fixed instances with optional .admin field not loading
Fixed large posts rendering incorrectly on iPad.
Fixed the first ~40 posts not showing up
Fixed posts loading after the end of the feed
Fixed settings icons not rendering properly on iOS 17
Fixed a bug where connecting to instances on localhost was impossible
Fixed logging in before email verification crashing the app
Fixed opening posts from URL links crashing the app
Fixed swipey action animation and context menu animation trying to run at the same time (ONLY on iOS 17—some of the changes made in iOS 17 gave us the tools to disable this behavior, but there’s unfortunately nothing we can do about it in iOS 16).

Cheers,
