The project had gone on for 4 years without a lot of testing… old code like login form had all kinds of problems, etc. Lemmy-ui had almost no ability to cope with errors from the backend, and often error messages didn’t even exist for the API calls. There was a huge rush to fix so many areas that were outright not working.

The main dev is working on a Leptos alternative now apparently. Should be exciting when it comes out.
