It’s a Windows 7, that I haven’t updated in years. The browser is probably older than most people here would be comfortable with. Sometimes websites will say things like “You need to update your browser”, but then the browser works just fine on their site.

Lemmy is the only one that legitimately doesn’t work right. It just has a spinny circle that never loads. Just spins forever.

Yup, that’s probably the issue then. My Chromebook is running a version of Chrome from like 4 years ago, so most Lemmy instances have broken formatting that stops loading anything beyond a broken header.

It’s kinda weird, because Lemmy is generally a pretty low-tech platform, so I’m not sure what about the web UI causes problems with older browsers. Not my area of expertise, so I’m afraid I don’t have much in terms of a solution, lol.
