Beehaw is considering other alternatives to Lemmy due to its immaturity as software and their attempts at improvements being blocked/ignored by Lemmy developers. That feels ominous to me.
It seems like Lemmy is not close to being a practical Reddit alternative. To be fair, Reddit's enshittification forced a lot on Lemmy all at once. It didn't have a chance to grow organically.
Just chiming in to say I’m having the same issues, split second of interface shows on launch and then black screen (Android, dark mode).
This is true for both my Native app and the web app.
One thing top add that nobody seems to have mentioned yet - both apps are (most likely) logged into #Beehaw. None of my other apps will load Beehaw, either, but Liftoff at least works with my lemmy.world account, but won’t load anything from the Beehaw feed.
So could this be an issue with some instances (beehaw, in my case) combined with some Lemmy update, in combination with something in Voyagerapp?
Voyager is my favorite Lemmy client so this is a very annoying situation 😅
Guess I could try web app in Incognito, see if that works, maybe log into lemmy.world from there. Will update if anything changes 👍
Privacy reasons. When a comment is "deleted" on Lemmy, the comment is actually only hidden to all except instance administrators. The comment remains on the post and continues to display the poster's username. kbin is also not a beacon of privacy, but it at least removes deleted comments from threads. This is also why I try to interact more on kbin magazines than Lemmy communities.
kbin has a sweet community search tool that not only searches kbin magazines, but also Lemmy communities and even Mastodon groups. This means you can easily find communities all across the #Fediverse for any of your interests.
kbin has a much nicer/more modern UI. It's got some quirks, but it's easier to read and navigate than Lemmy by default.
Customization options! Lemmy has themes, which is cool, but kbin has themes and lots of fun toggles to change your experience.
Last but certainly not least, Lemmy devs have a pretty shit stance on human rights. (See here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379). There are communities like #Beehaw, which are super friendly and non-problematic instances separate from the Lemmy devs, but it's worth noting that instances like Lemmy's flagship instance and Lemmygrad are run by folks with some grossly misguided views.
Native iOS Voyager screen goes black
Just today, when I start Voyager the interface appears and then disappears leaving a black screen....
Tech issue: the profile image and community images aren't loading, at least for me
Returning “operation timed out” right away. Thought you would want to know. Take care.
Why Kbin insead Lemmy? (kbin.social)
Just that
