Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this, please do advise

I have been very patient with some of the nuances / learning curves of lemmy. I think that In time these will be ironed out and we’ll have a thriving user base. However, I do feel that these issues need to be resolved at the earliest because right now is the time many users are leaving reddit or looking for an alternative. If the situation arises that the issues that the community faces while using lemmy are not fixed in timely manner, then new users might simply decide to not stay here very long.

There are a couple of things that are bothering me, but among them are few that cause me to stop using lemmy after a while. I’ll try to list them here simply for the fact that I couldn’t find any space which felt suited for this. If any one of you knows where this will be better suited please let me know, or post it there.

Anyway, here’s my list:

  • I’m unable to subscribe to some communities. With some of them I was successful after I k interacted with them, but others like technology or android communities are still pending.
  • after viewing a post, when I click back it often takes me back to the top. Facing the issue on both the web page and jerboa app
  • sometimes, mander.xyz is unaccessible. The webpage gives an error that such a page doesn’t exist while other communities still show up. Not sure why this is
  • the main feed is still a mess. I have to visit the subscribed communities to get any real content from them, but the subscribed feed either shows old content or just spams from a few of them.

Other issues also exist, but I feel these are the ones that really need to be addressed.

    I’m not sure if this is related, but back when Twitter did it’s thing and I started an account at Mastodon, I did the same on my Android, and had wacky results after using it a few times. I ended up going the browser route instead as well. With Lemmy, though, I found Jerboa early on. It’s worked well enough for me to drop a couple hard earned dollars to support that project.
