warning: opinions ahead
(last updated: March 30, 2024)
here's a collection of issues i currently have with this website, as much as i love it already. everything listed is sorted by what i think is most to least important, and particularly large issues are prefixed with warning emojis ⚠️
enjoy! or don't. i'm not ur dad
- ⚠️ there's no way to delete whole accounts (without contacting support, anyway)
- ⚠️ you cannot filter posts by content
- ⚠️ edited posts/comments don't show as edited
- ⚠️ audio posts have no built-in volume control
- ⚠️ "css crimes" (aka what is usually massive, flashing images done via css as opposed to gifs) cannot be easily disabled. (this can be a serious danger to those with photosensitive epilepsy. otherwise, it's likely to give you a headache at the very least. not fun)
- ⚠️ you cannot view rechost responses (this is particularly bad for content visibility i feel)
- content filters and 18+ post visibility are account-wide settings, and cannot be set per-page. (this is particularly annoying if you have separate SFW and NSFW pages on the same account)
- there is no official API
- you cannot add transcriptions to audio posts (aside from adding to the post text content itself)
- (on larger displays) there's no way to access the settings/notifications menu while viewing a user page
- there is no way to hide notifications from a particular post you've made (this can be particularly irritating if you have a post that suddenly blows up)
- you cannot "fold" comment chains, making navigation of large comment sections pretty tedious and annoying.
- pressing the back button while viewing an image does not close the image. (this is INSANELY annoying on mobile)
- liked posts are sorted by post time, not by the time they were liked.
- you cannot re-order pinned posts without basically unpinning and repinning everything all over again
- "pinned tags" specifically require tags to be in your top 15 most used... for some reason
- there's no way to manually switch between light/dark theme outside of posts, apart from changing your entire device theme
- once you add a header image, it cannot be removed
- mobile layout shows page description text as left-aligned, while it's centered on desktop.
- you cannot use 2+ line breaks in a row in page descriptions
- pagination buttons on profiles show even if there aren't any more pages to navigate to.
