OnePlus 5T + Brave Asus ROG Phone 6 + Brave

Brave blocks ads without any annoying plugin, it's chromium based (I've always been a bit of a fan of chrome), and it allows me to use duckduckgo for search.

Do you use your cell connection on the 6T + PMOS? I've got an old 5T I'd love to flash Linux onto as a primary phone but not sure how support is on the OnePlus phones

"we notice everyone is having trouble getting our previous model due to scalpers, so we released a new version at double the price!"

This sounds awesome, how did you get into it?

Pages not loading or error'ing out, general usability stuff, like pictures in the feed snapping back to small/icon size causing the feed to jump around, posts opening in the same window and going back takes me all the way to the top/start of my feed, the confusion around interoperability between instances (can I just log in with my account on another instance? Do i need a new account?), etc.

I'm on mobile, so maybe that's a large part of my complaint, but when ya come from Reddit, it's hard to not see things Reddit does well that you miss.

It's also very likely some of this is simply user error, I am not an expert, but I feel like if it's confusing or not intuitive for me, then it's probably room for improvement.

Edit: Idk what changes were made in the most recent update to Lemmy but a lot of my complaints here no longer appear to me occurring, so that's great news!!

I don't mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it's problems/quirks. I don't think it'll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that's how I feel. I hope it gets better
