<![CDATA[I can't work this app.]]>I can't work this app. I've gotten old. Can't keep up with the photos/people as much as I would like to. Everything is so fast and cluttered here!!

Watch my sorry butt come crawling back to Pixelfed in a few days... (I will only accept being called an idiot if it's in the form of a meme.)

Anyway, please for the love of all that is (insert your own here), update the damn thing! It needs it!

This page from @FediTips might be helpful:

https://fedi.tips/what-are-the-local-federated-home-timelines-how-do-i-stop-them-scrolling-too-quickly/

If you scroll down there’s a section called β€œThe timelines are scrolling way too quickly, I can’t keep up with them! How do I slow them down or pause them?” with some quick steps to take. I should probably do that myself. πŸ€”

You can also mute conversations you no longer want to follow, hide boosts from an account, etc. Hang in there!

You can migrate your Pixelfed account now (it will keep who you follow and your followers I think, not the posts, unfortunately)

Pixelfed - to me - is a totally different story. I am not here every day, this account is not locked, I don't (usually πŸ˜‰) engage in conversations, I am followed by an (to me) unbelievable amount of people. This is my haven when all I want to do is look at beautiful photos and keep it light.

The Fediverse is so big. It caters to every need, but it takes getting used to and finding the right instance, app, software/platform.

So, don't give up, try things out and maybe learn to accept that this is not run by one giant company with tons of money and therefore things aren't perfect or may take longer.

In the end, it's worth it 😊

I love the freedom and diversity of the Fediverse and am very grateful to Dan and Eugen and all the others who developed all of this ❀

Like don't get me wrong - here definitely has some pros. It's easy to follow text threads. Alt text works. You're more connected and aware of what's happening. You can see reposts etc.

Cons - you're more connected and aware of what's happening and there's a lot happening all the time and it's hard to keep up with anything πŸ˜‚. The UI of Pixelfed is so much more accessible and aesthetically pleasing! It just needs some GD fixes!! 😭
