Hey, Mlem Community.

You might have noticed our community has been closed for the past few days and that several posts have been removed. If you’re especially keen, you might have noticed that we momentarily migrated to vlemmy.net.

We recently parted ways with the team member responsible for most of our community outreach. We had hoped that he would agree to smoothly step away from the project. He did not. On his way out, he used his power as the primary (active) mod on this community to shut it down and remove several posts. He also refused to relinquish control of the Mlem Official accounts on Lemmy and Mastodon.

First and foremost we apologize deeply for his behavior. He is not, nor will he ever again be, affiliated with this project, and we have enacted greater redundancies and shared authority to prevent anything like this from happening again.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

We continue developing, of course! The core dev team is intact and as excited as ever to bring you the best Lemmy app that we can. We’ve got a new TestFlight build coming down the pipeline soon and an App Store application just around the corner from that. The community is open, and we look forward to hearing all your voices again.

Cheers,

The Mlem Team

    Ah, so that’s what happened! A few days ago, I was trying to respond to Eric’s reply to my comment in the post for the prior TestFlight build, and was wondering why it seemed to be deleted. I thought I was going crazy for a minute!

    Anyway, good luck to the team going forward! I hope everything is smooth, drama free, and most importantly, enjoyable leading up to your first stable release. 😀
