The mobile app is also buggy as hell. Notifications of direct messages (when someone wants to reach you personally) work only sporadically whereas in group chats they're reliable. Then when you click one of those group ones, it opens the group chat, flashes you the message, then loads the rest of the history, scrolls you down, and marks the whole chat as read. I've eventually found that you can find it again by going out of the chat and to your in-app notifications and tapping it there again. Then iirc to reply, you need to click some "open in chat" option (while you're already literally viewing the chat) and then it seems to scroll and show you the message correctly. Or maybe that latter thing was from search results, idk

I'm also pretty sure it silently deletes old direct message chats. I'm missing some that I really thought existed. Don't fault them for deleting things btw, seeing all the (literal and figurative) shit that thousands of teenagers post in this server I was helping out on, but it shouldn't be silent
