This feeling is weirdly familiar to me. Not regarding Lemmy, but when I want my computer to do something and it does it imperfectly I get this weird feeling of anger I don’t usually get in any other circumstances. Like when the mouse button only works 50% of the time, or when there’s bad kerning in my LaTeX document like this program was created to do this one thing and how DARE it fail at this SIMPLE TASK LIKE IS IT SO FREAKING HARD TO SPACE THE LETTERS CORRECTLY I LEARN THE FREAKING COMMANDS ONLY TO GET THIS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE OF KERNING BETWEEN TWO LETTERS THAT I HAVE TO MANUALLY CORRECT LIKE AAARGGHAGVGAHG

I can’t contribute code because I don’t know coding

Time to learn. Then you can fix things yourself.

You could become an expert on what’s in the queue to be fixed and spreading the word to the people with questions / frustrations. Managing changes is as important as making the [code] changes!

Show me 100 users, and I will show you 100 interpretations of the “perfect” website.

There are endless annoyances and inefficiencies in every user interface. They’re unavoidable. And yes, Lemmy is still largely in it’s infancy and has a lot of irritating bugs to work out. But you just have to learn to work around them as best you can.

Lemmy just had a massive update today, give it time.

The update fixed my main gripe: Posts continuing to load while I’m reading and being unreliable. That’s now gone :)

Performance also got a big jump.
