It’s very early. There are a lot of great ideas here, but also a lot of details yet to be worked out. Also lots of bugs.

I wasn’t on Reddit in the early days, but I expect it had problems too. I know twitter did.

If you’re a developer or have any skill in that area, I’d encourage you to contribute. If not, I’d ask for 2 things:

1. Have patience and a bit of grace with the devs, operators, and mods, especially in these early days.
2. Get active and talk about what you want and what’s not working for you.

This is your chance to help make “Thing n+1” better than “Thing n”. Chances like that don’t come around very often.

If you expected someone's fledgling project that's just getting started to be as polished and refined as something that's had thousands of dev hours over the last 5-10 years then that's just bad expectations management. It will get better.

I’m not sure if you will find much sympathy here. Many people (myself included) left Reddit because their policies and ethics now outweigh the benefits of a refined, smooth experience. Although, even that may be gone now if you’re switching from Apollo to the default Reddit app…

The communities here have made any occasional glitches worth it for me.

P.S. you can set your sorting preference under Settings.

Give it time, but don’t stop giving feedback. Every platform is buggy in the beginning.

Yup. It's buggy and the native apps are pretty rough. I'm trying to give it a chance. I suspect the original Reddit was pretty rough too.

I understand you but...

pls be patient, stay with us.

Many skilled (and less skilled) people are working hard and cooperating to make Lemmy better week are week.

(Pretty sure Aaron Swartz would have loved that)

Love the project 😎
