In order to get up to speed with the people that are coming here without TestFlight, I’ve submitted a build to Apple with all of the current features and fixes.
I’d anticipate this to take about 24 hours, but it’s possible it will be reviewed today. Apple is weird. I’ve had things get approved in like 8 hours on Saturdays before, so there’s a chance it will happen today. I’ll update you all when that happens.
Improvements and additions:
- New icon and options for changing icon color
- New and improved swipe animation (by the way, this is better than the last update wink)
- Improvements to image viewer (double tap works now too)
- Performance enhancments throughout the app
- Hide read posts
- Images in comments
- Collapsible posts
- Default comment sort
- All of the “Top” sort options
- Show a loading modal while downloading images
- Added a manage accounts button to accounts dropdown
- Add option for reader in webview
- Settings improvements
- Added embark theme
- Added buttons in comments for upvoting and replying
- Adjustments to splashscreen
- Username doesn’t link to user profile in compact mode now
- Add option to use the default browser instead of in-app browser
Fixes:
- Fix issues with toast not changing color or disappearing
- Fix cake day showing the wrong year
- Fix issue where links with an internal IP address would ask for permission to local network
- Fix issues with account disappearing after app launch
- Read icon now uses the correct color
- Fix crash caused when pressing Matrix links
- Fix crash when searching for a community with an @ at the end
If any of these issues are bothering you now, rest assured they will be fixed for you quite soon.
Swipe to dissmiss on pictures have issue now after last update Before it was so smooth and fast

Oh yeah I’m surprised I was even able to sign up for lemmy lol. I love the new swipe animation. Of the features that were present I would commonly see the wrong color but not only did they fix that they made it look nicer
All Memmy needs for me to happy is the ability to customize gestures cus the amount of times I’ve opened a comment section when I wanted my gesture to save or share a post is too many

Please give us a link in the app so we can toss you some money. Some of us want to support your hard work and don’t want to be loaded down by ads in the future.
You can send the developer a donation here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gavink
Rest assured ads is something that will never be in this. No feature lockdowns, ads, any of that.
I can’t link anything in app for payments or donations unfortunately. Eventually there might be a tip jar though. For now if you really want, there’s a buy me a coffee.
Oddly I can’t click the buy you a coffee link in the app. It keeps collapsing the comment?
That’s awkward isn’t it 🤣
We are going to overhaul markdown for the 0.2 release hopefully, so links will have a bigger hit box. I’ve noticed this too.
You should be able to try pressing slightly below the link to get it to work though.
I went to the GitHub link and clicked from there. Hope you like coffee!!
❤️
Sent $5

Sent 3 cups! Enjoy!
No feature lockdowns
What about for notifications? Surely those will start costing you something if growth continues as it has been lately.
No feature lockdowns, ads, any of that.
I thought you were going for an Apollo clone
jk
Hope I really don’t need to screenshot this to post in a few years… 😊 anyways, awesome app you’ve made! Can’t wait for the update to hit the AppStore, I deleted my flight test copy by mistake… 😭
The code is open sourced under a public license. The developer doesn’t own the code any more than you do. If they added ads someone could just fork it and remove them.
That said, running a large open source project is difficult and frustrating. Any donations they receive will likely be a pittance compared to what they would make spending that time coasting in a corporate dev job. Send them a few bucks as a thank you: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gavink
Support link still shows your Twitter account. Not sure if you’ve moved on to mastodon or not.
Oh and a huge thank you for creating an amazing app in very little time. That’s some seriously consistent hard work. Doesn’t go unappreciated. ❤️
Hmm where is that at? I don’t even use Twitter, I think I only had the account for SEO purposes. I don’t really use mastodon either, not my type of social media (twitter, bluesky, mastodon, etc.) but I do have an account there.
Given gestures vaguely I definitely don’t have any interest in using it lol
After payment, it’s on the thank you page.
Ohh ok cool. Thanks for pointing that out! I had no idea lol
It’s coffee time!
❤️
I would say as much love as the app has received, definitely consider adding a tip jar. You’ve made a rather good app that is giving people a lot of value, so people would be more than happy to compensate you for your time. Given you can’t provide links in the app to third party payment services, this would provide the easiest route for people to do so.
agreed. i subscribed to apollo for 99c a month, i’d be more than happy to keep doing that if it helps memmy flourish
fuck reddit, there need to be viable alternatives and memmy is creating a wonderful experience
Ooh the new swipe thing is so cool. Great work!
What’s the new swipe functionality? I’m not on the TestFlight but the swipe I have now seems pretty smooth to me.
The key thing I noticed was when you swipe further to downvote, it’s a cool animation of the arrow turning upside down.
Can’t take the credit for that one. We have an amazing contributor who made that happen. Completely overhauled it for us. Super grateful for that.
Still waiting patiently for the update to show in the App Store. And by patiently I mean checking 3 times a day lmao. But I can’t believe the devs for this app. So impressed with how it’s been mostly flawless for the week I’ve used it. Will be donating soon!
Glad i´m not the only one! Apple must be busy, tiny bit over the the expected 8-24hours by now heh
Update is out now
not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, but it doesn’t appear there is a way to view the users bio in memmy?
viewing a profile is fine, but anything you set in the bio on the web interface is not viewable anywhere in the app that i can find

I am in absolute awe of this app, tysm
btw setting up microsoft appcenter codepush is really quick and you can avoid slow update turn around.
I’ve been releasing my react native apps for years instantly to beta and alpha in-app update channels. Testflight is slow, the app store is slow, codepush is fast af.
Sent you a DM about this
OP doing lord’s work right there
Awesome update notes! Literally refreshing the App Store hourly for this!
Is there currently no way to save an image from a post? Like an add to photos button when viewing a pic?
Or am I just really missing it?
If you open up the image in the viewer, there should be a save button on the lower left.
Weird, it doesn’t absolutely nothing on my app.
It’s unbelievable that you can make an app this great in this short amount of time, and that other site can’t get it right after years. Thank you for all you do, I just did the “Buy me a Coffee”!
I have two requests if possible. The first is probably the easiest - orange is my favorite color, so I’d love an orange color of the icon to rock on my home screen!
The second is probably harder. I miss the small button on the bottom right that jumps to the next parent comment. It doesn’t have to be a button, it could be a swipe or tap. When I’m in the middle of a long comment chain, sometimes I just want to bail on the thread and move to the next parent comment, but I can’t find an easy way to do that other than just scroll and look.
Again, thank you for the great app! Make sure you get that tip jar in here, you deserve to get some payment for your great work!
Our icon designer already made an orange one today, possibly from seeing this comment lol
That’s awesome, thanks! I’m gonna need to buy you guys more coffee! ☕️
We can get both of those done :)
As a matter of fact I’m going to start working on the jump button this week.
Dude, you are awesome!
You have done amazing! Honestly the speed at which you release is phenomenal and pretty intimidating for someone who works in software, it sets a new benchmark in my opinion.
One thing that would be handy is the ability to share to Memmy from other apps via the share sheet
The ability to follow topics via a saved search or similar would also be handy.
Also the ability to bookmark a community but not have it appear in my feed would also be useful
Just feedback, overall this is such a polished app, I’m super impressed
Would love to see few features:
Ability to filter/block a community directly from feed, without having to go to that community.
A keyword filter list that hides post with those words in their title.
Ability to hide posts from feed.
Keep up the great work!
