I see a lot of comments pointing out bugs and saying something along the lines like "they need to fix this ASAP, otherwise... something something".

As a software developer myself (not in the fediverse), I can tell you one thing:

Keep in mind that all of this literally escalated pretty quickly, and no one was prepared for that. What started out as a hobby project of some enthausiasts, quickly turned into a high demand over the course of a few days.

Having hundreds of enthusiasts use a software is different than having thousends of "average" people using it. 100 users won't detect many bugs, and if they do, they're more tolerant since they know it's all volunteering. But thousands of users will detect even more bugs that no one bothered to deal before.

Once the userbase grows and the demands are clear enough, this should be tackled, eventually.

So yeah, hang in there.

I've been on this part of the fediverse for years (via lotide rather than lemmy or kbin, but I've been here), and kbin itself is incredibly new. I'd never heard of it more than about 3 months ago, and I'm constantly on the watch for new stuff because I always believed this part of the fediverse had huge potential.

Honestly, considering how new it is, kbin is shockingly good. Go back and look at reddit 3 months into development!
