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.

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?
- 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.

Were any AI agents used to make this? Or to run the translation feature?
I can only speak to my own workflow, but I build this app for the love of the craft. Everything I’ve contributed has been my own original work.
We have been fortunate to dodge, at least for now, the flood of slop contributions other open source projects have been subjected to, so we do not have a formalized AI policy in place as of right now. We are currently discussing the details of what such a policy would look like, since clearly there is community interest, but we are aligned in the belief that Mlem should be architected, designed, and implemented by humans.
The translation feature uses Apple’s native translation API, which uses on-device translation models. Apple is, unsurprisingly, tight-lipped about the internals of those.
That's great, thank you for the response!
