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.

Seeing the current upvotes is nice, but being able to see both the upvotes and downvotes separately is also a great feature! So far, every implementation I’ve seen so far has only had one or the other. It would be awesome if it was at least an option in settings to choose or better yet, you could see both

I mean I can see that argument but imo an upvote system is worthless without a downvote system or at least it’s not as useful. It’s less of a voting system if you can’t downvote

I too can see the merits and arguments both ways, and thus can’t yet personally form an opinion on whether one is better suited to me than the other. Given it’s instance specific; I’m seeing how either strategy plays out in terms of what my feeds ends up looking like on one versus the other. Choice is a good thing IMHO, and choice is what one doesn’t have when locked into a single system. I believe lack of said choice on certain centralized platforms is what drove the furry to alternatives such as this one.
