FAQ
- When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
- Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.

Hi Mlem Community,
Now that 2.0 is live, we’re simplifying the structure of our TestFlight.
For the initial development of 2.0, we created the Stable Pre-Release group to serve as our release environment. Going forward, we plan to ship smaller, more frequent updates. Under that new system, it no longer makes sense to maintain the separate pre-release group. We will therefore be shutting down the Stable Pre-Release group on Sunday, March 16. If you are in that group and wish to remain in the beta, we still have plenty of spots in the Weekly group.
We’re also changing the TestFlight timing: new builds to the Weekly TestFlight will go out every Saturday at 11am EDT (UTC -4).
Cheers,

After a year in development and six months in beta, we are thrilled to announce that Mlem for Lemmy 2.0 is available on the App Store!
We've rewritten the app from the ground up--it's still the same Mlem our users know and love, but with significant performance improvements, a set of new features that were infeasible in our v1 app, and a fresh new design that feels right at home with the latest versions of iOS. There are more changes than we could list here, so the best way to see what's new is to just download the app, but some of the highlights include:
Media Enhancements
2.0 ships with a brand new image viewer and full support for gifs, videos, and animated webps. We've even added loops.video embedding--link posts to loops.video will display the linked video directly in Mlem.
Color Themes
In addition to the standard light and dark, Mlem 2.0 offers OLED, Solarized, and Dracula color themes, with more on the way. If you'd like us to support your favorite theme, let us know!
Markdown Handling
Powered by our custom cmark fork, Mlem 2.0 supports the full range of Lemmydown syntax.
Enhanced Post Composer
You can now create crossposts directly in the post editor (+ -> Crosspost), and can even post to multiple communities from multiple accounts at once. The keyboard now also sports a comprehensive set of Markdown editing tools.
French Localization
Mlem is now available in French, thanks to pylapp.
And More...
- Guest mode: you can now browse instances without an account
- Added a new Tiled post layout
- Keep place on switch: you can now switch accounts without reloading the app. This behavior can be toggled in
Settings->Accountsor accessed by long pressing an account in the account switcher. - You can now search for posts and comments
Compatibility Notice: Mlem 2.0 supports iOS 17 and later. If you are on an older iOS, you won't be able to download this update but will be able to continue using the previous version of Mlem.
Thank you to all of our beta testers, whose feedback and support has been invaluable.
Cheers,
