It’s the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

    This is why I have 4 different apps to surf Lemmy. When one app is acting up I just switch to another. For example I was just barely scrolling in Jerboa but getting a bunch of network errors so I switched to Connect which is where I’m posting this comment. I’m totally down with being patient with Lemmy for the time being. Anything to get away from R*****

      I’m doing the same thing. I have no allegiance like I did with RiF. If one isn’t working, I’ll just move. Give them some time to work out the kinks.

        I still can’t figure out why I can upvote posts in Memmy but not in Liftoff. I’m Liftoff it keeps responding that I need to be logged into the server but Memmy just lets me upvote. It’s definitely something I am doing wrong but showcases the immense value of app choice.

          Have you checked that you’re browsing from your instance? Liftoff has different feeds for different instances and if you go to a post through an instance you don’t have an account on, you won’t be able to vote.

          Just go to the homepage and select the feed from the drop-down at the top on an instance you have an account in. I used to face the same problem until I realised what’s going wrong.

      Try wefwef.app (go to this website and install it as an app/add it to your homescreen), it’s simply amazing.

      As for network errors, try switching to an instance close to your house with a low ping, it’ll make a big difference. Go to https://fediverse.observer/map and select Lemmy instances.
