Since Day One (spez’ fuckup) I have been trying to use and like lemmy but it just doesn’t work right at all. Like as in never did. Communities disappear randomly, posts don’t load, submissions have no comments, you name it. At this point I am considering going back to reddit just like everyone else I know that used to care is doing already. Any others out there with same experience or is it just me and my shitty ios app for lemmy?
Still using Kbin via web browser on desktop and mobile; with Kbin Enhancement Suite. Aside from some availability issues early in the migration, it's been very stable.
Yeah the comment toggling, sidebar with your magazines and a few other parts are coming up kbin as native features, it just takes a while to get them tested + pushed out for release. There's a heap of great stuff coming
The Kbin enchantment sweet is great. The developer who worked on it is actively in the Matrix chat. We're working on getting a heap of those improvements baked into the platform, but being an open source protect it takes a while to get things through
I have been very much enjoying kbin. Sure the volume isn't quite there, but I love that it's run by volunteers with no agenda other than to host their commities for free.
The software has a few hiccups here and there, but those will get improved over time.
Reddit is there for money; your experience is secondary to that.
Sometimes you break up because you’ve been cheated, and no matter how good are your next partners, you’ll always be moaning about everything that’s “not like it used to be”, because face it, you didn’t mind being cheated and just broke up because you didn’t want people to say you were a cuckold.
I have a lot of issues with Lemmy and more specifically how the fediverse will work with multiple copies of communities and the knee-jerk defederation. But, in terms of stability, content and quality, I feel like it has been getting better. I’m willing to give it some more time.
I've been using KBin for a hot minute. The only issues I still get regularly are errors when trying to vote on stuff. It's normally because I need to relogin but my Firefox browser still shows me as logged in due to I think cache issues.
I expect some problems but the community is still growing steadily so I'm staying for the general stuff and will give reddit some traffic here and there for niche shit. I'm still adblocking, using old reddit, and everything else I can to make myself useless I including deleting my content regularly.
Yeah the logout issue is pretty annoying. I've got a feeling it's got to do with the CSRF token that's on all the forms (like the upvote / downvote arrows) that if you sit idle probably don't match when you submit. Probably something we need to have a hard look into to fix up
Lemmy’s mobile app ecosystem is terrible… or rather just not very mature and needing a lot more work and contribution. I haven’t found a single Lemmy mobile app, iOS or Android. that is usable long term. I’ve just started logging into Lemmy on my mobile browser and using it that way (which works fine).
Lemmy itself however is great. I run my own instance and yeah, there’s expense and work and troubleshooting involved in that, but it’s all worth it to have the reddit experience with the Lemmy community and to be in complete control of the gateway that I use for that experience.
