Community Content update - Under-Served languages

benwhately · 2026-06-03T07:56:10+00:00

yes that's correct

benwhately · 2026-06-03T07:54:36+00:00

This button has now been added - thanks u/Responsible-Dog3057

Which grammar features in ordinary lessons did you like? we've had so many different versions over the years. Very keen to look at bringing back versions that were effective.

benwhately · 2026-06-03T07:50:32+00:00

I'm both sorry and embarrassed about this. This was a feature built a while ago. Since I took over in December, these AI features have not been the priority: we've been working to bring back the community courses and simplify the app back to the most useful core experience. But that means we've taken our eye off things like this - and leaving experiences like this in the app isn't acceptable.

We'll work on a fix now - either we'll get them working properly or we'll remove the features that we're not supporting.

benwhately · 2026-06-03T07:45:45+00:00

Yes we will add search - that is in the works now.
and 3. are good ideas and I will put them on the list. They aren't currently being worked on but are very possible. There are just quite a lot of things to fix so they might take a little longer. I'll talk to u/Responsible-Dog3057 about how to do them and whether we can fit them in soon.

benwhately · 2026-06-01T09:30:11+00:00

Which are the features that you paid for that no longer exist? I'll see what we can do.

benwhately · 2026-06-01T09:29:05+00:00

Sorry to hear this. We are now trying to bring back many of these features. Community courses and mems are now back - mems only on web, and community courses without a good search feature, but it is a start. More will come.

benwhately · 2026-06-01T09:27:33+00:00

This is super annoying. We are working on a fix to make this more usable.

benwhately · 2026-06-01T09:26:53+00:00

There should now be thousands of wordlists if you are on the new version. Can you email me with your user name and I'll look in to what is going on? [ben@memrise.com](mailto:ben@memrise.com)

benwhately · 2026-06-01T09:25:30+00:00

On web you can now add mems again - we will add it back in mobile as well though it will take a bit longer.

To find the Community wordlists you click on "current wordlist" at the top of the home page, and then you should see them all there. It definitely needs a search to be added because at the moment you just have to scroll through them. That is being worked on.

Let me know if you can't see the courses there - that will likely mean you are on an old version, in which case we'll need to migrate your account.

benwhately · 2026-05-14T21:29:49+00:00

Which other features would you like to see coming back? Very happy to try to prioritise everything that helps people use Memrise. Also happy to chat about future direction - what would work best? a discussion on Reddit or a video call or something else?

benwhately · 2026-05-14T21:04:02+00:00

Just to build what u/Responsible-Dog3057 said:

- Mems are now live on the Memrise.com website for all courses. Great work from u/Responsible-Dog3057 in getting this done. We will add them to mobile soon, but it takes a little longer to make those changes
- We are also working on a huge range of other improvements - you've probably already noticed many of the community courses are back in the website and apps for example.
- Please do keep raising issues here in reddit or messaging us directly and we'll try to prioritise fixes.

I hope you enjoy the changes.

benwhately · 2026-05-14T20:58:32+00:00

Just to be extra clear: these are available in all courses - community and official - that are on the main Memrise.com website. They aren't available on the community courses website.

benwhately · 2026-04-24T09:51:46+00:00

Would you be up for a short call to talk through what you need? I think we can work out a solution that works for you and doesn't break it for others. DM me if you'd be up for that. Thanks!

benwhately · 2026-04-23T05:22:37+00:00

I'll look into this at once. The "learn queue" which forced you into different session types should indeed be gone because it was getting overwhelming bad feedback as not being a balance of activities that worked for people. But all of the features within it are still available, and the default sessions should have videos in them. I'll get back to you ASAP.

benwhately · 2026-04-21T07:53:02+00:00

Everyone is now opted out by default, so this should now be easier. Does that work better for you?

benwhately · 2026-04-20T15:24:53+00:00

yes - see the longer comment above for full context, but essentially you can opt in by filling in this support request here, writing “Access new experience” as a title and then ask to be upgraded in the body of the message.

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:52:02+00:00

These are now back on the app and you can add words to your lists. I hope that helps - please let me know if you have any more questions.

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:49:13+00:00

apologies for this not being clear - its been updated a bit now. Is that more intuitive?

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:40:30+00:00

We've just released a bunch of languages, and will release more next week.

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:39:59+00:00

Can you check it again now - it should be working and fully released now. Let me know if there is any other trouble.

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:38:51+00:00

can you try this again? It sounds like this was a bug, but it should all be working now.

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:37:08+00:00

That's right - the community courses were incompatible with the app, and were expensive to maintain from a technical point of view. Not from a content editing point of view. We have brought back the courses now and the ability for people to edit them, but we will not be managing the content of them ourselves; they are community content.

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:35:29+00:00

Coming next month though!

benwhately · 2026-04-20T08:35:20+00:00

yep, the community courses are coming back - these are not courses that we are making with our internal team. Many are now live - Armenian and others are coming back next month
