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.
How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.
- Join the weekly beta
- Join the stable beta
How do I join the dev team?
- Head over to our recruitment channel, or go straight to our GitHub and read CONTRIBUTING.md to get started.

Feature Request?: Something similar to RPAN / Vertical video support (toast.ooo)

Not entirely sure how that would work, but it would be a cool idea anyhow

Maybe a hook into Peertube or Owncast? although hooking into those might be out of scope for a Lemmy client idk

Edit: RPAN was Reddit's short-lived livestreaming experiment, which ended up being killed due to the cost of running a service like that.

How i envision it working within Mlem is that it would display an in-app embed (or native support) for videos hosted via PeerTube or Owncast in the feed (possibly taking up the native resolution / aspect ratio)

To improve discoverability, mlem would (theoretically) recommend communities that are tagged (probably via a #tag in the description) or something like that

We're focusing on building the best Lemmy client possible right now, and aren't considering branching out to cover multiple platforms. If we do ever consider that, it'll be in the far future once the client is properly polished. Lemmy themselves are discussing potential video support - if that's implemented into Lemmy, we would of course try to support it.
