Totally understandable. What issues have you been facing? For me, the web sockets issue with the feed has kept me to browsing primarily on mobile. Once that is fixed I should be fine.
It’s very difficult to find content that I’m actually interested in, Any time I try to browse anything on the main feed outside of “Local” and “Active”, the site freaks out and loads a bunch of posts that have no relevancy to what I selected. I selected “All” and “Active” and it loaded a bunch of furry porn from 2 days ago.
The feed just kind of defaults to a glorified “new” feed and loads posts as soon as they’re made regardless of my sorting options, and there is no variety when I’m looking through the main feed. It’s the same 4 communities with like six posts each.
The UI is pretty user unfriendly and there aren’t really any ways to allow me to customize what I see, and it’s difficult trying to navigate around, especially when new posts keep automatically popping up, throwing what I’m trying to click on down suddenly with no warning.
The good news is that the feed freaking out will be fixed with the next release. If you haven’t already, go into your settings and you can block NSFW content from there and none of that should show up. My suggestion would be to go to “Communities” and browse through there to find what you are interested in. I’m no expert and it has definitely taken some time to get used to but I’m really starting to like it here. The communities will grow. If you’re not comfortable now, try again in a couple of weeks and see what new content has been added.
Yea, the browser based experience is just not there yet, the devs are busy sorting out some bugs that didn’t show themselves until more users jumped on board.
I recommend finding a mobile app to use, there are a lot of them for both ios and android.
I’m still on the fence. I’ve been having a lot of issues with lemmy after creating an account
