Definitely staying on TestFlight for now. Too many updates happening too fast. App Store approval process is going to create a perpetual lag in features and fixes.
This question isn’t necessarily directed to OP, but anyone who might know. Should we download the App Store version or keep the TestFlight one?
The test flight one will have the most up to date builds and more frequent updates.
Assuming one was able to get the TestFlight version. Apple caps the number of testers and the beta is full.
I’ve been trying for days to join because I’d like to help develop a good Apollo replacement but every attempt has been rejected.
I’m trying to help with Mlem, but it’s really glitchy. I guess we’ll see in the end which one I stick with.
If you want to help contribute reach out to us in Discord, we can likely help get your dev environment set up and get you a TestFlight spot
Not much of a programmer, alas (I’ve dabbled in hobby Lua a bit) — just like poking at betas and giving feedback. I know that’s just as valuable.
Now that I finally got the store version, I like this app a lot, but not sure how best to give feedback. There’s no way to submit my screenshots that I can see for suggestions, etc.
Ahh gotchya. The best way to give us feedback is submitting issues on GitHub, we don’t really have the time to go through TestFlight screenshots, most of them end up being completely useless anyways with no description
Oh oof I’ve sent a handful of TestFlight screenshots (with descriptions), should I just stop?

Glad to see that it got approved finally. I’m going to stick with the TestFlight build until the app is no longer there just due to how rapidly it’s changing, but I’m stoked to switch over once things stabilize a bit and hope that there will be subscriptions available to support app dev straight through the app in the near future.
Currently no plans for a subscription, you can tip gk though through buy me a coffee. Maybe at most we would have to start charging a very cheap subscription for push notifications. Other than that no plans to lock any kinds of features behind a paywall
Happy to support the developer. Just hoping for a lifetime Apollo ultra equivalent onetime payment. The subscriptions are killer but I get why we need them sometimes.
I’ll do a one-time payment gladly — I did with Apollo — but not a subscription.
Congratulations @gkd@lemmy.ml and the team!
I want to give it 5* but it looks like I would need to download the app store version
It’s currently number 40-something in Social Networking apps.
Downloading instead of using Test Flight makes a difference.
#31 in australian app store. And yes I did download it, gave a 5* and an actual review, then deleted and reinstalled the test flight version. All worked perfecty
