The sad truth is that Lemmy is still a very buggy pile of alpha software that barely works.
I wouldn’t call it alpha, but man, does it have UI problems.

I disagree. I had to reload the page to post the previous comment. Because text box was not opening when pressing reply. And that happens regularly. And there are like shit loads of other bugs. And don’t get me started on Jerboa… You see, I have 20 years of software development experience. Lemmy as is today is great, but it’s a very very early alpha. Buggy as hell and completely unusable by anyone except for enthusiasts. It doesn’t even be publicly accessible in my opinion.
I don’t care about bugs much myself, I have my workarounds. But your average Joe will be shocked by the state of Lemmy. And that will hurt Lemmy in the long run. The dev team should focus real hard on improving end user experience and fixing bugs. Nothing else matters at the moment.
