There are some pretty prominent bugs on Truth Social. It's clear it's still very much a beta app. Like I mentioned earlier, there doesn't appear to be a working direct messages feature. The search function doesn't appear to work particularly well either. For example, when I searched for the user "Trump," I was inundated with profiles from fans of the former president. Yet, not a single profile belonging to the Trump family – not even Donald Trump himself – appeared in the results.
After publishing a "truth," it took quite a few refreshes for my post to show up on my profile page. It took so long that I thought it got lost for a minute and doubted it would ever materialize, but then it finally did.
Those comments that were previously mentioned that don't always show? They do show if a post doesn't have more than a hundred or so comments. If a user tries to view the comments on a post with hundreds or more comments, they just won't load. It's unclear if this is an issue where the server can't handle the load or if this part of the app is just poorly coded.

Why on earth can't you view the site on a regular computer or an Android? Most people can't afford expensive Apple crap. The people are on PCs and Android.
I can only imagine the amount of cyber security needed for that site.
The hackers, paid and zealot, must be bombarding that thing like their lives depend on it.
I agree, but I don’t think that would affect the search engine not showing people correctly. Seems like a glitch. But I wonder if someone who is able to use it can confirm.
I finally got in last night. First impression….meh
A trump donation to the “truth social” here at FR would have gone a long way.
Its gonna take a while for the kinks to be worked out..as far as Im concerned its still in the beta stages of release..I still cant sign up for it, will give it some time..its like other apps no such thing as perfection it takes time for the issues to be resolved
Whine!
Whine!
Whine!
Boring...
Gee... Planes. ships, missiles, buildings, automobiles, vaccines, nuclear weapons, Microsoft operating systems, FreeRepublic, wartime cease-fires, the internet, Joe Biden, etc...etc...
Are/were any of these “bug-free” when first designed & built?
Take a deep breath or go to the gym or get laid...
The website doesn’t appear to have any content except for a link to the Apple App Store for iPhone. It says Coming Soon to the Google Play Store. Does seem kinda lame.
I saw several people saying that Trump is not using it himself. Does he post anything?
Well supposedly it will be fully functional at the end of March. Guess we’ll see.
I prefer reading sites without having to download some app that just spams you with notifications.
I have not seen anything posted from Trump.

Limited test version. In theory a fuller upgrade is coming this month. But disappointed to, not with the App which I haven’t downloaded, but the rollout.
This is a billion dollar operation, spend some money on hundreds of developers and engineers. Run this thing right. However, once it is running correctly he will have tens of millions of active users.
Perhaps he’s holding off until the official full launch. I don’t see why people would use Truth if he isn’t going to though.
We’re supposed to believe crap off MSN about Truth Social?
My daughter got on and was #63. She isn’t bitching about the site.
That screenshot looks weird, not like any of the others I have seen in articles. Is it fake?
But that is the text of the one post Trump was reported to have made on the site.
Yep. Real, not fake.
Trump up to 320K followers now steadily climbing
There has been an attack in the media in recent days already calling it failed
It just partially launched 3 weeks ago
There was an update this morning that sped things up. They’re working on Truth constantly.
He's doubled that in the ten days since you posted that. Up to about 640K now as of Mar 20 as more and more people are brought into the platform from the waiting lists.
I was let in on Thursday and so I've had the weekend to play around with it. It's still bare bones with regard to functionality but I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far. There is very little of the nastiness you see on Twitter. Everybody seems positive and upbeat. I've only posted a few things, mostly this morning, but I have been averaging about 5 followers per hour throughout the day today. Most of the Twitter regulars I used to follow can be found here.
Nothing is getting censored. If somebody posts something not family friendly, then that content is hidden behind a warning but can be accessed with a push of a button. I think that's a reasonable compromise for those who don't want a feed full of "f" bombs.
When additional functions are added like direct messaging, group lists, etc., it will be the place for conservatives to congregate with no fear of shadowbanning, harrassment, throttling, suspension, etc.
Overall, I'm very impressed and once the beta phase is over, I see it scaling up to a hundred million users in a matter of months.
