The app - Baconreader was so smooth. I'm getting used to the fediverse one, but there are still a lot of decisions by the devs that I hate.
The sheer amount of queer porn - it wasn't even enough because my tastes are.... Varying. But the feed of porn on fediverse is weak as fuck, with a lot of it being really boring and aimed at boring people who are not me (cishet men). I'm confident this will eventually get remedied, but it DID also take like a decade for even Reddit to get good porn, with its own ups and downs.
That being said, there's still so much more to love on fediverse that I don't need to look back to Reddit for. It feels like going from high school to a really big, really liberal college (Reddit->fediverse). I can openly do so much stuff, like say fuck nazis, which I regularly do, and very much mean. I can even say stuff like "the only good nazi..." and people will know what I'm talking about AND agree with, thank fuck. It's just a much more grown up place here, and I'm much more comfortable being closer to being able to speak my mind without having to censor myself, and I've noticed this in other people, too, that there's far less conformity to respectability politics, and people actually say what they think, regardless of how bizarre or unhinged it is, I truly love that.
Yup, the porn is lacking. I think part of the problem is all gay porn gets downvoted on World even if it's posted on LemmyNSFW, and the one posted on World is simply not welcome. I tried but it didn't catch on so I let it be. :/
Have you used Voyager, Thunder, Summit?
https://www.lemmyapps.com/
In like 2023 and a little last year, I tried out literally a dozen of them. Most of them were in earlier stages of development and were VERY space wasteful whilst also showing very little data AND having no customizations to fix that stuff. I'm currently using Sync, and as long as I customize the shit out of it, it's bearable.
I tried: jerboa, kbin, connect, voyager, lemmotif, thunder, liftoff, summit, sync, a different voyager, tundra, and artemis.
I eventually got burnt out on trying and trying to customize each app, and settled on sync I guess.
Sync hasn't been updated for a long time, and will stop working with Lemmy 1.0, I would recommend to have a look at the 3 above when you have some time.
!summit@lemmy.world has been active lately
Son of a bitch. Gfdi seriously. Ugh. Well that sucks. Hopefully the dev either open source's the app or comes back when it breaks, because I'm getting really sick of searching for new apps and platforms right now to turn to for momentary and intermittent dopamine hits, socializing, memes, and conversations.
I just updated my summit app and I'll have to look at how it handles now and I'll need to import my multiple fediverse accounts and see if I can customize it to be functional for me, because it and every other app had ui problems like crazy. I tend to be a minimalist that hates huge previews, wasted space, waiting, and gestures. If it's foss, maybe I'll learn the platform and develop for it, because I'm seriously sick of half baked and funky designs and unintuitive ui/ux.
