No. This is incredibly complex software run by people with little or no budget. I’m grateful that it exists at all.

Not really. I'm loving lemmy more than reddit. Reddit just feels so toxic with their algo frontpage.

One that's gotten me a few times is if you're typing a reply to someone, either in the comments or a PM, then mid-typing you upvote (or downvote) them (or anyone else), it deletes your comment-in-progress. I've lost a few comments that way, one of which took about 20 minutes to write which I just gave up on and didn't post afterward.

I also really don't like that the default language option is "Undetermined". It makes not labeling the correct language the default behavior, which makes a lot of foreign language material show up in my feed. Your own post and 2 of the 4 comments at the time of me posting are unlabeled.

I guess I have had a great experience, I’ve never encountered any glitches with the mobile app. Always worked great.

So annoyed I’m going to demand my money back, or possibly demand they take advertising so them can afford some dev-ops staff

Kbin has been having serious problems lately

Maybe you should ask your admin in !meta@lemy.nl or !chat@lemy.nl what's up with the specific errors on your instance. Maybe they had some problems operating it. You can always switch instances. My posts never disappear without reason. (They can also be removed if they violate the terms of an instance or community.)

The other issues also annoy me. Federation is somewhat broken and posts and comments often don't propagate to other instances since Lemmy version 0.19.0 (and 0.19.1 which should have fixed that.) It's the fault of the Lemmy developers to release a broken update. We'll see if they continue doing that or if they have learned something. I think they want to hire a third full-time developer. Maybe that helps.

The need to re-login and unable to login with an older client happened once. Things like that can happen if bigger changes are made. I don't think this will become a regular thing. And it's not that annoying in my eyes. Most importantly clients have to handle that correctly and give a meaningful error message and guide you to the login page. But some proper error handling is also missing here.

So: Yes. The things you mentioned also annoy me. Lemmy has still lots of room for improvement. And it's nowhere near other federated platforms. I hope the Lemmy devs aren't repeating the most annoying mistakes and fix federation soon so this can be an issue of the past...

At first, absolutely. Very frustrating, kept feeling the pull back you-know-where. But then after a while, it became kind of a zen thing, if i'm using that word properly? It gives me time to breath a bit, rather than just doom scrolling at an increasing rate.

Maybe kind of part of the Lemmy Ritual? Maybe I'm strange.

Liftoff stopped working for me two weeks ago. I had to download a new app to use Lemmy again. Still better than reddit.

No. My experience has ben once things become stable and slick is when the enshittining begins.

You are a bit unlucky now too, since federation is broken. Before that happened, everything was working fine. :)

On Lemmyworld and using boost for Lemmy, absolutely no bugs honestly. It's more stable than boost for reddit and that was head and shoulders above reddit's own cesspool of a mobile app.

The closest thing to a "bug" is poor optimization on posts with a bunch of hi res photos but that's it.

You might want to check with an admin on your instance about those issues. I haven't run into anything like that.

Edit: I guess I spoke too soon. Five days later and apparently this comment never made it out of my instance.
