There are several lacks eg. when you want to post sth, there’s an inline-popup generated, which doesn’t get focus, so i’m forced to click twice instead of once.
The biggest concern, which will be surely fixed soon is imho: no notification of stream updates and no visual way – or i’m blind – to trigger an update.
I’m not appreciating having to click on two things to plus someone’s comment. And I’m especially not appreciating the thing where I go to my profile page & each post displays a single comment at random, rather than just the last comment that was made, which used to make it obvious whether it there were new comments on any given post.
1- User can only access top 6 circles after enabling circles from settings! (disabled by default!!). I heavily use circles and have spent so much time building them
2- I am no longer able to hover over a user in order to change circle, or add to a circle!
3- After clicking on a user, it’s not obvious where the about section is. Took me ages to figure out the i button.
4- Collections is not practical, I already am following many Android and Tech collections… It’s a lot easier to have one Android circle (full of android bloggers) and one Tech circle..
New bugs (annoying posts from people I don’t follow that I cannot mute, for example) but but may fix some of the old bugs (ghost page snippets that appear randomly over actual content, for example).
But it looks like circles, which I use a lot, were deprecated without my noticing before the new version, and are deprecated more now. Clearly on the way out.
And collections, which I don’t use at all, are the new hotness.

Michael Stuhr You can hit ‘c’ on your keyboard to start writing a post. It has focus immediately I think.

No, you can’t. 😦

God Emperor Lionel Lauer You can, although the post needs to have focus. Use j/k to prev/next through posts, and + to give a +1

I tried opening this post in a new tab, & ‘+’ works to toggle the plus on this post, but j,k, & c do nothing.

Events seem to be missing. If they dont put them back ill have to move my two communities elsewhere, its the primary tool i use within communities.

Michael Stuhr no. F5 has had that functionality for years and years. Didn’t you know that?

Simon Ayoub interestingly on the mobile app you can see all circle streams when expanded.
Other than that, yes, things feel a little haphazard to me atm.

Seems about the same to me — nothing to get angry about, but not especially pleasant, either.

They are going backwards fast, seems to be one step forward and three back for a whole now.
