Jumped to this app when Reddit came up with their API nonsense, and have tried several other Lemmy apps since. This one has just stuck with me as the one I prefer the most. The only thing I'd like is an in-app browser for opening webpages, otherwise it's pretty solid.

Used to work great, a recent update either to lemmy or to Connect has made it, so I can't post to any communities tho. Kinda defeats the purpose.

Captcha is unreadable. I tried to create an account and cannot read the captchas, their design makes them illegible. I actually hit the limit of attempts because of refreshing the captchas so many times because I couldn't find one I could make out clearly lol, so I FAILED TO REGISTER.

Search is badly broken both in terms of interface and actual results. For instance "game engine" returns 0 results even though Unity is a huge story atm. And I only searched that because "unity" returns results for "community". Lemmy is so fractured it's unusable without search.

Worked until 2 days ago. I'm getting a strange error when I try to opet the app: type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'int?' in type cast. Maybe the last update broke the app on some devices?

It worked great for a while but now no media content shows up in the posts anymore, and I miss out on the context that's being discussed in the comments because I can't see what everyone else does who are using different clients.
