There were some issues over the past week with logins.

I migrated from storing JWTs in the app’s file system to using the iOS Keychain to store them. This prevents - mainly for users with jailbreaks - other applications being able to access tokens.

The issue was caused by the iOS Keychain not being updated whenever the JWT was changed. So, if you signed into an account that already had an existing but invalid JWT, it would have not removed and overwritten the old one. This is fixed now along with ensuring that Memmy operates fine with 0.19. (Version 1.1.4, still waiting on Apple to approve the App Store release).

Now, this isn’t for 99 percent of you, but yet it still needs to be said. I have said before and will continue to say: I am a single person (Sean has his own obligations) working on this right now. It has consumed a lot of time, and that is fine to me. However I also have life commitments.

I totally understand that if the app is not functioning that you are going to migrate - at least temporarily - to another app. That’s fine. I would do the same. What is not helpful is rude comments or store. You’re more than welcome to bring up issues or leave reviews on the store (I do get notified of them) but doing so with “doesn’t work, devs can’t even be bothered to….” provides me with absolutely nothing to work off of.

This issue is a perfect example of that. There have been a handful of people who were unable to sign in for a few days now (more than I know of, I am sure). Of those people, a number either made comments here (and I do apologize for not reading those, please read below) or have left negative reviews without information. I was left to speculate about the issue and assume it was fixed and the user was just using an old version. It was not until today that someone reached out to me over email with details about the issue that I was able to pin it down and fix it.

I am extremely grateful for the people who have either created GitHub issues or emailed me directly with logs and information. I’ve had interactions with a number of you over the past few weeks that have been great, and that is what open source software is all about.

It should be noted too that - as of right now - this community is mainly used for me being able to make an announcement easily. I do not have the time to monitor this community however. If you directly reply to me or message me I’ll get the notification, but I do not pay attention to posts. If you have a question, it is much more helpful to send me an email (along with the debug log) or open an issue on GitHub.

Know that this isn’t just a request for myself. I’m asking you to treat every developer working on Lemmy. related projects, or frankly any open source software with the same respect. I’ve seen numerous times on this site (and frankly this was something that made me want to take a step away for a moment) rude remarks and negativity made towards developers. It isn’t constructive at all and is the opposite of the energy that we as a community should be putting out.

Please, all I ask is that we be respectful in both directions. As long as the community continues to be great I have no issue at all putting time into this. And outside of just myself and Memmy, the only way this community will continue to thrive and grow is if everyone is treated with that respect.

Remember, too, that Lemmy in terms of size and Memmy in terms of existence have only been around for mere months. Nothing comes perfect out of the box. Lemmy is still - I think we can agree - in its early stages. So is Memmy and the rest of the applications out there. What should be remembered is that the next wave of people is bound to come at some point. Your help in development can make that transition easier than it was for you, whether it be help toward me, toward Voyager or Avelon or the other available options, to the instances, or to the Lemmy devs themselves.

Thank you all. Long live Lemmy 💪(fuck /u/spez)

Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.

Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.

But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.

We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!

It doesn’t seem to exist anymore, on the App Store at least. I can see this community is basically dead. Does anyone know the story?

I started seeing cakes appear on people’s usernames, and I realized that it’s been a full year now since the great debacle through which many of us discovered lemmy.

Seeing them all start to pop up at once has made me a bit nostalgic. Memmy was such an exciting and important project during that time, I believe for many people it is the reason they stuck with lemmy in the long term.

So, cheers to the devs, and to anyone who still checks on this community from time to time when memmy crosses their mind.

@memmy When will Memmy be available in the AppStore in The Netherlands?

Broke timestamps. Everywhere. New replies will show "10 hrs" while the original comment will show "18 mins".

When viewing posts I see tons of phantom comments that seemingly have nothing to do with the post or are replying to something when they appear at the top level. Navigating to the post in a web browser shows dozens more comments (not from users I've blocked or anything).

Formatting of content across posts and comments doesn't match what the site does when I view it in the browser.

Thanks to the Memmy dev and any contributors, but broken software is broken software.

So, what's the best alternative these days?

I added links to three images in a comment and it only renders one, has an infinite scroll of black, and crashes the app.

I can submit on GitHub if preferred.

<3 y'all and the magic you're doing here

Beta stopped working, I guess it’s time to uninstall and go to Voyager full time. Too bad - Memmy was a gem. RIP

It’s not moving, is it dead?

Just the title, if I’m looking at “All” I have to scroll past a lot of posts in other languages that I can’t read and I have t been able to find language as a filter option. Thanks!

Just out of pure curiosity, is the Memmy app still in development?

I haven’t used the app for a month or so due to “an unknown error has occurred!”

But haven’t seen a single update from the app nor a single post about the app lately.

It is quite sad to see that decent amount of semi-developed apps are stopping. Artemis is an example of this.

Memmy now opens an off centered (placed out of frame, in the upper right of the screen), tiny, version of any image I open.

I have to pull every image over to the left and down, see it fully.

Help?

I use Memmy daily and I was checking if Memmy is still under development. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the respective community. The app is well-designed that I doubt it was never updated since month.

I also want to support the developer(s). :)

Is Memmy still being worked on? Haven't heard much in the last couple months...

I’ve been having a weird problem recently where when I sort by Top in a comments section, often times a few top-level comments don’t show up, and the replies to that comment are shown as top-level instead. It seems to happen more with comments that have a negative score.

It’s fixed when I sort by Old. I’m not sure if it’s some weird setting I have or a bug. I’d be appreciative for any help!

I’m not a fan of swipe to upvote and downvote gestures; I use the buttons instead. The option to disable these gestures and enable full width swipe gestures to back is great! Glad to see I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I often find my self swiping in the other direction to go ‘forward’ as well.

Swiping from left to right, takes users up a context. So naturally, swiping from right to left should take users ‘down’ a context (or back to where they were).

Similar to webpages in Safari (and other browsers).

Ideally, swipe to go forward should take users back to the same place within the post / comments section. But I’d settle for at least going back to the post.

Thanks for the continued support for memmy! And thanks to all the contributors as well!

Sorry if this has been asked, but ernest has been on fire lately with kbin and it looks like he is getting pretty close to releasing the formal API soon.

I have played around with memmy and really liked it’s interface; it really reminds me of Apollo (RIP). I would love to be able to use it with kbin!

I know there are some differences between lemmy and kbin (the microblog and boosts, for example) and I am sure there are under-the-hood differences as well, so I know it is not as easy as flipping a switch.

Anyways I figured I would ask to see if there is any interest.

Thanks!

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the search feature over the last few weeks? For me it started out with searches randomly failing to load then working when I retry but now nothing I search for loads. I’ve had to start using the web version of my instance to search for communities and it’s super inconvenient on mobile.

I’d like to be able to use the iOS text recognition in images that way I can easily translate memes that are in different languages.

Other than that, just want to say thanks for the amazing app. I really do not miss Apollo at all. Memmy has come a long way so quickly.

In addition, I love the purple space icon. It’s so great!

I have added filters for lemmynsfw.com but posts keep apearing.

I keep checking and it is in the instance filter list, am I doing something wrong?

How should I go about blocking entrie instances?

After first trying Mlem, Memmy was my main Lemmy app for a good while, until I have been trying out some other ones. Coming back to using Memmy, I am pretty happy how well-rounded it is.

For me, the most important things are functionality and readability. The customization and font options are very nice. I especially like having a theme like the Golden Hour that is easier on the eyes, and still get to pick a theme color! With the red, it gives me a chocolate factory vibe that I enjoy.

The automatic reader mode for links is great for minimizing distractions on links, ability for switching feed link icons to the right is nice for being a lefty phone user, and the icon options are nice to have. The actual communities’ pages having the banner makes it feel more complete. The markdown editor seems well done and the Jump button is great for reading efficiently. The concise UI is very pleasant. And most importantly, the function of the things that are implemented are seemingly all working and are pretty snappy.

Having the post click first before the going directly to the link is actually really nice, because half of the time I try to click a post on other apps and end up clicking a link to somewhere. Also, the saving of a post draft is nice, although I wish there would be some pop up message or small banner that would say so.

Some things that could be improved: the favorite icon on the left list of communities does not seem to work, the Moderates feed does not load (but is a great idea), adding a Mark above as read button for the Feed would be very welcomed, the read messages do not appear in the Inbox, and lastly I tried to post this using the app and it only blinked and did not post.

All of that said, I’m really happy about the balance of features and functionality and will stick with Memmy for a good bit.

Some of the posts from my feed won’t load images. Any plans on a fix?

I really like the night owl theme but i wish there was a way to increase contrast

Is there an easy way to hide read posts? Ideally something like the feature in Thunder that lets you auto filter out any of the read posts.

Edit: on a related note, I’d love to see a swipe gesture option of “Mark as Read”.

Seems that when I read messages or replies the notifications don’t register it and I have “unread” messages I have already read. How might I fix this?

After update they’re too big, and bold, readable from five feet away.

They also limit the visible posts from 8 or more before, to four or five now.

How do I fix this?

Is this happening for anyone else?

The main feed page doesn’t load and I’m getting error messages on the other pages. However my profile page looks like I’m no logged in or I’m looking at someone else page

I deleted and re-downloaded the app.

Not sure what else I can do. Please help.

I’m on the latest iOS update and using an iPhone 15.

I can respond to messages in other posts, but I can’t reply to messages that are in my inbox from the app.

I have to problem replying from my desktop.

I’m wondering if anyone else is having issues loading the feed lately? It could be an incompatibility with the instance I’m on but I’ve tried with a few different instances and the feed page just spins and the account page shows an error.

*edit: looks like it’s specific to build 1.1.78

Latest update installed - feed is just circle wheel of death. :(

Anybody else notice this? When I load a post or its picture, there’s no indication that the post has been read. For the record, I view in compact mode.

After the recent update the compact view is unusable for reading news boards, where nearly every post has more than two lines of text and the new memmy app cuts them off with a […] in the end. Can we please get the option to allow multi line titles in the compact view again? I am now only able to read the full headlines with deactivated coompact view which is annoying as I want to read the headlines not have a small preview image for every news.

Thank you.

Can’t swipe back to get to selection of subs, can’t find my saved posts, favourites not sorted at the top. Really loved everything about memmy pre-update but feels like some key features have just disappeared overnight :(

Anyone know where the patch notes are and where I can give feedback?

Cheers!

edit: appears to be fixed with a recent update!

—

If I use the right-arrow reply button next to the vote buttons at the bottom of the comment, it opens a reply to the main post instead.

If I use the “Reply” option under the three dot button, it opens a reply to the comment as expected.

I’ll try to get this on github at some point.

edit: observed on iOS 16.7.2, iPhone SE (latest model)

I’ll try to remember to log an issue report on github later, but for now, under the user profile (middle nav button) comments appear as expected, but the Posts tab is empty for me.

I just read a post that said “don’t worry, we haven’t just abandoned Memmy”, which is great…but that post is two months old. What’s going on?
