I think the biggest problem with this place ever becoming active is the different instances not staying in sync. On lemmy.ml where I created it I’m seeing 28 subscribers, 3 posts and 5 comments. Other instances are showing 5 subscribers, 3 posts and 3 comments and then there’s instances where I can’t find this place at all.
I’ve also sent PMs that either never send or never get read. How or why would people want to talk here when the experience is so inconsistent?
Missing features? Sure. Replies and stuff missing? No way. People on the sh.itjust.works instance can’t see your reply to this post at the time of making this comment. That’s just silly. Especially since people on that instance have replied and are visible on lemmy.ml. As for other instances who knows? I can’t be bothered looking.
Connect on the Play Store seems alright but I can’t make it show me only communities I’ve subscribed to so I see heaps of stupid meme posts. As it is now I just don’t bother looking if Jerboa isn’t working.
Oh now everything loads today, connect still works more consistently than jerboa though. Thanks for bringing that app up.
Ah I noticed this on Jerboa as well, there isn’t an option yet to make it a default feed. I have to manually select Subscribed (Lemmy) / Home (Connect) everytime I open up the apps.
I reinstalled Connect just now and am making this post from it. There must have been an update since I tried it because now I can make it only show me communities I’m part of. I’m also able to block communities. And for some reason it shows me your deleted post whereas other things have shown it as deleted. Although I do remember something about deleting stuff not being consistent on lemmy.
