Droppie<p>Overall my UX since opening this <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Sharkey" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sharkey</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/BlahajZone" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlahajZone</a> account has been quite lovely, but there are various papercuts & frictions all the same. In earlier posts i've mentioned various <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Antenna" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Antenna</a> hassles [wrt efficiently managing all my <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/FollowedHashtags" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FollowedHashtags</a>]. The way that Sharkey's own text formatting [<a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/MFM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MFM</a>] does not follow standard <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Markdown" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Markdown</a><span> practices in some cases, thus looking not as i intended when viewed in non-Sharky instances, is another issue. <br><br>The most recent PITA, albeit it's been present all along, only in recent days seems rather worse, is repeat failures of my two </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/List" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#List</a> timelines to load at all [see attached pic of the common result], & in between these frequent failures, i experience much <b>latency</b> trying to get posts to accept my Likes, or to invoke the [excellent] Search function, or various other commonplace UI interactions. This morning in particular it is, frankly, <i>terrible</i><span>. <br><br>Towards the end, i now recall that my old </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Firefish" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefish</a> instances also suffered this repeat failure of timelines to load, & other-while large latency, so having it now be my multiple-times-each-day experience here is pretty alarming. However even if not fatal, it poses a significant usability liability... after all, each time i retry my <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Friendica</a><span> instance i eventually keep returning to Masto coz Friendica's latency drives me batty. <br><br>Despite once again clearing the cache & doing multiple page reloads, as i am about to post this whinge, one of my timelines has still errored-out rather than loaded. This is galling, & i feel myself on the verge of returning to my Masto-Statuzer instance once again. Tis a pity. <br><br>cc: </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/@blahaj" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@blahaj</a></p>
