3 days agoWhen I click to post the comment, I get a loading circle gif that just spins forever. Tried waiting it out for a few minutes but nothing happens.
And to my knowledge lemmy doesnt do shadow bans so I would at keast know if I had been banned there.
Edit: previously I cleared cache, tried different browsers and devices, logged out and in again, nothing worked. I also just tested and I can’t create posts from lemmy.world account either.
Edit2: looks like it was related to VPN use and some flagging of my session/connection, maybe cloudflare on lemmy.world
As a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn’t there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).
Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.
