I’m really not happy with Lemmy so far. Its a great community and a cool concept, but the amount of bugs I am experiencing is really starting to put me off.

The site constantly updates / glitches, when I try click on something it moves just before I click so I end up clicking on something else. If I open a post, as soon as I go back the entire home feed is different and my sorting preferences have been reset.

As someone coming from the refinement from Apollo this really is offputting and makes me want to use Lemmy even less.

The people here are great, the federation is cool and I like how decentralized it is, but I think I’m going to log off now and I don’t expect to be back anytime soon.

Ps. A functioning app I can download directly from the app store would be great. I’m not interested in progressive web apps or testflight betas, I want something that just works and is well refined.

Edit: I understand its early days, I’m not faulting devs for not being able to keep up, all I am doing here is expressing my opinion. I’m also sad about losing Apollo so that definitely adds to my disappointment quite a bit if I’m being honest.

    It is for you.

    You have an account at kbin.social. That’s a single fediverse instance. When you log in, you see content and are able to interact with users from every fediverse instance, because they all sync with each other (so to speak, I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but that’s the basic gist). There are a few exceptions, I am aware that beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.it, and that kbin.social had federation turned off for a bit while ernest was dealing with server load issues. There may be other defed choices made by instances in the future, there may be other times when all federation has to be turned off temporarily on some instance or another for technical reasons, but at the moment, those are exceptions and not the rule.
