If you have a Mac you can actually just clone the repository, open the project in Xcode and add iPad as a target.
It works, and some views are taking advantage of the larger display (the settings tab is split screen).
But as the devs stated, it's not really optimized for iPad yet so I can understand why they don't target iPad in their official build yet.
Yeah. Once they build for iPad OS, it’ll open the floodgates on bug reports so I get the “wait for stable” approach. I’ll keep using the web from my iPad for now.
The option to just “float” the iPhone version would be a huge improvement.
iPad user as well, one thing I have noticed is that if you are using the landscape mode and rotate / expand the view using the buttons in the lower left. As soon as you go to a link in a post the view switches back to iPhone portrait mode. I’m sure this is probably an issue with the iPad OS itself but just something to note.
I might give that a later this week, thanks.
Mostly it looks good on the iPad, but on some post the layout seemed to be broken because of huge images or previews

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.

- 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.
