  • As Eric said, if you tap on the error it’ll give you more info. Have you tried a different image? Some instances impose a maximum file size on the images you can upload. If that happens, it’ll show the “error” toast. We’d like to make that error case show a more obvious warning in future.





  • Hi! Mlem v1 requires iOS 16 or later and Mlem v2 requires iOS 17 or later. Supporting a wider range of versions would take up significantly more development time, and prevent us from using newer APIs. For that reason we choose to support only the two most recent iOS versions, which most of our users fall under.

    We’re sorry that you can’t use Mlem on your old iPad. You could try Voyager instead, which supports any iOS version (I think).

    Hey! We haven’t implemented post searching yet, though we’ll be implementing it in the next version of Mlem (2.0).

    To block an instance, you need to go to the instance page. You can do this by searching for the instance in the “Search” tab, or by tapping the (…) button in the top-right of a community page or profile page and tapping the instance name. In the instance page, you can tap the (…) button in the top-right and then choose “block” to block the instance.

    To view blocked instances go to the Settings tab, then tap the button at the top of the page (your username), then tap “Blocklist”.


  • I should mention that I can’t get the new Testflight to work either. I use the old version, the Testflight for some reason is unavailable to me. Is it perhaps because I use an older model iPhone?

    We closed the old TestFlight, as we don’t plan to release any major updates to Mlem v1 aside from critical bug fixes. The new TestFlight is for testing the upcoming Mlem v2, and requires iOS 17 or later. Mlem v1 supported iOS 16 and above. You can read more about our reasons for dropping iOS 16 support here.

    Similarly, I sometimes don’t see comments, eg. a post might have 5 comments but I only see 3 or none.

    Yeah, this happens because the Lemmy API only returns a limited number of comments initially for large comment threads. It’s the client’s responsibility to request more comments when needed. On the Lemmy website UI, you have to click a “Load (x) more comments” button, and it’ll load the rest. Mlem v1 (and presumably Voyager) haven’t implemented this yet. We’re planning to add it to Mlem v2.
