This is on me for sure that I’ve never seen anyone be faster using a CLI compared to a GUI especially for basic operations which is what most of us do 95% of the time. I know there are specific cases where a command just does it better/easier but for me that’s not the case for everyday stuff.

I know I’m going to get down voted for this but this would be almost impossible to fuck up with a gui. Yet people insist that writing commands manually is superior. I’m sorry for your loss.

This exists in Sync for Lemmy. I couldn’t live without it tbh.

It’s very confusing because there’s settings for it in the apps, then there settings for it in your account and finally some instances don’t even federate with NSFW content so you have to check at all 3 levels to get it working.

In that time we’ve had new people come and experience a lack of apps, many that we do have today were still in the works a month or two ago. We’ve had performance issues, shitty Active sorting that still shows week old posts no matter how many times you refresh, we’ve had instances simply disappearing over night, we’ve had ddos attacks, we’ve had horrible content spam like CSAM and issues with extremism.

All of that with the cherry on top that signing up for Lemmy, understanding how it works and using it day to day is not as easy as a place like reddit. Who knows what the future holds for Lemmy.

Potentially interesting threads are often empty. It’s more like having 50k people in a metropolis and your going door to door to try to find them. Often they cluster around particularly popular spots and that’s it. Most of them are ghosts - they don’t post anything.

Honestly, I moved away from that instance after days of issues, downtimes and timeouts. Been a smooth experience since then. It’s unfortunate that they are more focussed on grabbing as many new users as possible instead of giving the existing users a stable experience.
