I’m really not happy with Lemmy so far. Its a great community and a cool concept, but the amount of bugs I am experiencing is really starting to put me off.
The site constantly updates / glitches, when I try click on something it moves just before I click so I end up clicking on something else. If I open a post, as soon as I go back the entire home feed is different and my sorting preferences have been reset.
As someone coming from the refinement from Apollo this really is offputting and makes me want to use Lemmy even less.
The people here are great, the federation is cool and I like how decentralized it is, but I think I’m going to log off now and I don’t expect to be back anytime soon.
Ps. A functioning app I can download directly from the app store would be great. I’m not interested in progressive web apps or testflight betas, I want something that just works and is well refined.
Edit: I understand its early days, I’m not faulting devs for not being able to keep up, all I am doing here is expressing my opinion. I’m also sad about losing Apollo so that definitely adds to my disappointment quite a bit if I’m being honest.
Most have been here less than a week. It will take time. The Fediverse was not created with the intention of toppling Reddit in one week. Many of the bugs that people have been complaining about are being fixed in the next release.
100% agree. I will deal with bugs today because I can see the benefits of decentralization. Yes it’s buggy, but I know that we, the community, are fixing it. And that we are making the service better as users and not in some top-down decision making way.
Also maybe it’s just me but I find people’s lack of patience to deal with a few bugs really strange. Yes I’ve come across bugs and intermittent connection issues but it’s not really the end of the world and knowing that the Devs and admins of each instance are working hard to keep things turning over is enough for me… I’ll just do something else for a bit. It was the same when Reddit would go down or what ever.
