Ratings and reviews

Need a way to remove unwanted followers since blocking doesn't do it (which it should), there's no way of making your account private (which there should be), and the spam accounts are really starting to roll in. Needs to stop refreshing feed and jumping to the top/most recent posts if away from the app for a bit. Should always pick up where you left off. You have the capability to refresh to the top of the feed if you want; forcing it is why I don't engage with FB and Instagram.

The latest updates made the alt text so small its genuinely unbelievable lmao what are you people doing also not a huge fan of the amount of info displayed without the option for user opt-out. I don't really need to know which of the people I follow liked a post (I can already glean that info, its in a "popular with friends" feed). The automatic thread numbering moved out of beta, which is fine, but I don't... want it? (although I figure that integration is easier on a base level). and so forth

While I like that the app is pretty similar to old Twitter, it runs very slowly and lags quite a bit. It can be quite challenging to post photos and that's what I use the app for most. I wish that more than four photos at a time could be added to a post. It's quite tedious. I get error messages every other post and I have to reboot the app and redo the post for it to send. Can't load photo/token etc. Also, I wish there were hashtag suggestions, so I don't have to retype them with each new post.

What’s new

We've added a Starter Packs tab to search, making it easier to find people to follow. Additionally, if you've been added to a Starter Pack, we've added the option to remove yourself from it.

Posts in a thread are now automatically numbered, so you don't have to do it yourself.
