I cannot put into words how profoundly stupid this “feature” is. AOL and Geocities pages were genuinely more user friendly. Whoever added it, refreshed the page and said “yeah, this works well” and left it in should be fired! …out of a cannon and into the Sun!
Happy someone caught the reference!
Also, if you are impatient like I am, consider giving kbin.social a try. It doesn’t seem to have the issues that lemmy does, but still has all the same content! (as far as I can tell, anyway)
Hooray!
I looked at kbin but it doesn’t have an app. Mastodon comes up but I don’t know what that is yet. I’m not terribly impatient though, so I can handle the growing pains at the moment.
