Lemmy is still in active development and there are some missing features, but it is very usable. Your friends’ complaints, some are a bit exaggerated and some are really not that big of issues that will get resolved eventually.
There were a bunch of other comments on this post, then they suddenly disappeared? What happened? 😳

I use rsync, and for android I use rsync via Termux and cron.
