Experiences with Nicotine? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I know that a lot of people prefer Nicotine over the original Soulseek client. While it's definitely more stable (especially on Linux) and arguably more attractive, I've always switched back to the original client because Nicotine gives me way fewer search results, and I've noticed that a lot of my "regulars" don't show up in my uploads list.

Anyone else have similar experiences? Any tips for making Nicotine work better?

Yeah, it's super finicky, It also took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to download from the search results. This is cool though, I'm really stoked I finally got this working!

Glad to hear.

Had similar struggles, but glad I pushed though.

Between my Android phone, pi & stereo I now have music on the go and in the house that can beat what I had with Windows, Limewire, stereo & a 20GB ipod classic ~2003. Better late than never.
