Hi! I joined Lemmy.zip in search of an European / non-US alternative to r/. I heard about Lemmy via one of the several Buy European / European alternatives community posts. While signing up for the .world instance it urges you to have a look at less generic instances that might match your interest. That’s when I found you. I game from time to time, work in IT (architecture) and have a broad personal interest in understanding the ‘How’ behind technology. Lemmy.zip sounds like a good match!

While getting settled and trying all the different web apps I have observed:

• All the different front-ends (a. /m. /t.) require a new login, this feels a bit strange while you are on the same domain.
• The mobile m.lemmy.zip (photon), while looking pretty has a few issues:
  • The setting to blur NSFW thumbnails does not work, they show unblurred. Other apps (e.g. Tesseract) do blur.
  • Scrolling through the feed on Firefox (Android) is very jerky with a lot of ‘hickups’ going back up for a fraction of a second while scrolling down.
• While I’m not opposed to seeing content in posts that could be considered NSFW, I’m not particularly looking for it or communities focussed on it. Turning(/leaving) visibility on however floods the ‘all’ feed with (bot)posts from porn-related communities. Is there a way to leave NSFW visibility on, without seeing those communities recommended in the feed?

So far I prefer t.lemmy.zip for mobile (Firefox) and a.lemmy.zip for desktop (Zen browser).
