I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.
Sorry but i have to rant.
Yes we were put just aside because the feature we recommended was “pictrs” stuff.
Thats true and so far many instances ( i dont want to say who, because they should come out if they want to be known ) i and the lemmy.world team have many reports from users, admins that they want a better replacement for lemmy. ( e.g. Sublinks ).
The moderation is TERRIBLE after 0.19, the sorting totally wrong unchangeable, every “resolve” leads to page refresh ( have fun finding your report you left on ). New reports are just never seen again, because you cant sort by new. The “All” view is terrible in reports and private messages. Marking Private Messages as “read” just refreshes the page and on the ui doesnt change anything, but after refresh it is marked as read.
On 0.19 there are some occasions of untested things, like “Remove an admin” is not correctly translated. Something THAT primitive.
We / Jgrim never opened a feature request because we already got enough by seeing in the history of feature requests of others.
The ui gets just worse and worse, untested features goes to prod and not getting even a “Warning Untested feature” flag.
We know you are just some guys in their free time. But then why not take your time, test it, make sure everything works, then release it.
Quality is the key for a thriving software, not pushing versions like its a tournament on how many versions can someone push to prod.
You are not a big corpo that can deploy fast fixes that fix any issues that could block instances, so quality is here even a higher priority.
