Rules
- Keep it civil.
- This is a forum for discussion about Mlem. We welcome a degree of general chatter, but anything not related to Mlem may be removed at moderator discretion. This is not a forum for iPhone/Android debate. Posts and comments saying nothing but "iOS bad/I use Android" will be removed as off-topic.
- We welcome constructive criticism, but ask that it be both precise and polite.
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.

I think displaying icons would be more of a crutch than a solution, different things should look different, without the need for an explicit "label".
Regarding tapping the images, there‘s probably going to be an option to have them expanded in the feed and shrunken by default (instead of being cut off), which might help with that confusion a bit.
I believe this comment is referring specifically to thumbnails in compact and headline mode--large posts already distinguish between images and links by embedding the link preview in a complex with the url and website icon.
Ahh I see what you mean, that makes sense. In that case I think an icon is fine :) I was talking about the "large post" size as you said
