Mlem for Lemmy 1.1.1 RC 0: Lemmy 0.19 Support

We have released our first release candidate for 1.1.1 to TestFlight. This is a backend-focused update that adds compatibility with Lemmy 0.19 and cleans up some of our backend logic.

Features

Rewrote inbox backend. This is the biggest thing to test in this release, since we’ve implemented a completely new approach to displaying feeds that we hope to roll out across the app. There shouldn’t be any new behavior (although swipe actions should feel a tiny bit smoother), but it’s way more computationally efficient and should be easier to work with moving forwards.
Added Lemmy 0.19 compatibility and features (note that these features are only available on the few instances currently running 0.19 pre-release software):
- Added option to delete posts and comments when deleting your account
- Added cursor-based pagination, which should result in slightly more efficient page loading
Added context menus to search results
Improved “no posts found” message
Search bar is now always shown in the search tab
Added a reset button to the Widget Wizard
Organized app icons by creator
Added a new icon, “Alien Mlem,"" by Sjmarf
Adjusted haptic feedback
Improved account deletion page

Bug Fixes

Fixed compact comments not appropriately displaying vote status when net votes are displayed

Cheers,

The Mlem Group

Thanks for the big update. Just noticed that links to communities using the !xxx@xxx format are not loading, and actually opening the email client. So I guess they are somehow being interpreted as email addresses. The initial exclamation mark is not the same color as the link.
- Thanks for the bug report! We've got an update to make links easier to tap coming down the line, I'll be sure to fix this along with it

After marking inbox messages read the badge in the menu bar said “-1”
- Hmm, that's odd. Do you happen to have a message from yourself somewhere in your inbox? Those can cause some very strange behavior around read status
  
  No though I haven’t been able to recreate it. I was able to get another bug where the badge was +1 but I had no unread messages. I was marking messages unread by swiping on the reports and then swapping between the tabs up the top, it was rather fast and rapid so not really normal use and then after closing and reopening the number reset and was calculated correctly

0.19 RC.4 was working with Mlem but RC.5 broke it.
I’m getting ‘incorrect login’ and ‘Unable to decode’ errors on previously logged accounts.
I wish I could provide more info but I don’t have 🫤
- We've got the fix almost through development, hoping to have it in TestFlight very soon. Thanks for your patience!

I updated but still couldn’t log in to my 0.19.0-rc.4 instance.
- You probably need to remove old record and login again.
  
  i tried deleting and reinstalling with testflight. Still no dice.
- Thanks for the report! I've sent a sign up request to them so hopefully I can troubleshoot this soon.
