Brand new to the platform. Just wondering if I have to use my browser each time. Thanks. Ps. F reddit mods
I don’t use apps. I like the web interface (except for the fact that it doesn’t work on my PC…can’t figure out why). So I can’t help you there, BUT, seeing as you’re new this whole thing, and seeing as it can it be overwhelming, might I suggest you take a gander at !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca when you get a chance?
A couple of things you’ll take note of that are a bit different than over at reddit. First off, we don’t masturbate into shoeboxs for years on end, and then allow the semen to accumulate, thus producing disgusting horrific clumps that need radioactive gloves to dispose of.
We don’t do the whole “What’s in the safe?” posts.
We’re missing a lot of the niche communities, and we’re missing the audience to house them.
And finally, everybody has already agree’d, I am the ultimate supreme master, and everybody has to give me all their money at all times. So, be prepared to cough it up, newbie.
Fun fact, only one of my previous statements is an outright lie! Can you spot the imposter?

Speak for yourself ☢️☢️📥💦 🍆😂

Because Lemmy is open-source, the contents of the safe are available to the public, so we don’t need such posts

Tap to instantly receive all my money
Oof, tough break there

Do you happen to be running an outdated system, by chance? I’ve got a really old Chromebook that’s past its lifecycle and doesn’t get updates anymore, and it has problems displaying most Lemmy instances properly as a result.
It’s a Windows 7, that I haven’t updated in years. The browser is probably older than most people here would be comfortable with. Sometimes websites will say things like “You need to update your browser”, but then the browser works just fine on their site.
Lemmy is the only one that legitimately doesn’t work right. It just has a spinny circle that never loads. Just spins forever.
Yup, that’s probably the issue then. My Chromebook is running a version of Chrome from like 4 years ago, so most Lemmy instances have broken formatting that stops loading anything beyond a broken header.
It’s kinda weird, because Lemmy is generally a pretty low-tech platform, so I’m not sure what about the web UI causes problems with older browsers. Not my area of expertise, so I’m afraid I don’t have much in terms of a solution, lol.
