Amino: Communities and Fandom

I absolutely love amino. I’ve been a user for three, almost four years now. It is a great app to indulge in content about your interests and make friends if that’s something your interested in. Over all the years I’ve been here, I’ve been able to explore so many different platforms, community’s, interests, and have made tons of amazing and great friends. Seriously if your looking for a way to pass the time, I really suggest this app! I manage to spend hours on end just chatting and scrolling through feed. It’s quite often that I become number one on the leader boards lol. My only complaint is that the notifications for chats tend to be a bit iffy. Like lately I’ve been having trouble with the notification not going away even after I’ve read the chat I received. It’s not that much of a problem, just a bit annoying because I don’t know if somebody has responded or just an old notification is still there. But, I reported it as a bug, and I’m sure the team will work on it as soon as they have time! They are pretty good about keeping up with bugs, which is something I appreciate! Oh did I even mention how cool each community can be! Like there are lots of communities that host challenges where one can win amino coins and titles and such! There is just so many different things to explore on this app, and I really think you should give it a try if you ever have the chance! That’s all, I hope you have a lovely day! -Riley Is Out!

I’ve been using Amino since 2019, and it’s by far the only other app, beside Snapchat, which I’ve become comfortable using to talk to friends I’ve made. I’ve even gotten into making my own Amino, with my own rules and where my friends can, as of relatively recently, can chat with me on there. I will say, the update with my Global Account, I have experienced one thing, on Global and on desperate Aminos, and that’s lag. Ever since the update regarding Global Accounts, I’ve noticed more and more that as I’m on Aminos and going through separate chats, it lags severely even though my internet is perfectly well. When I tap to get out of a chat, I have to click around three times, which results in me not only getting off the chat, but also the Animo itself. And when I click to go see a chat I’m in, it opens it multiple times, lagging worse as I try to “x” out of the extras. The only way it seems it goes back to normal is if I turn the app off and restart it, and even then it takes around twice or at least three restarts to work properly. This app is amazing in my honest opinion, and this is the only problem I’ve ever come across in my year, almost two years now, or having the app. It definitely deserves the five-stars, though the lagging, if other people are experiencing it too, may make people rethink giving it five stars. I hope in a future update that this lagging issue is resolved.

I’ve been on amino for years and I absolutely love it. There’s no limit to how many things you can join. If you love anime, drawing, k-pop, writing, singing, there’s pretty much an amino for everything. The amino communities, in my experience, are very welcoming. In my opinion it’s an overall positive environment. It’s a place where you can talk to people with the same interests as you. None of my friends love k-pop. They think it’s stupid and sometimes “tease” me about it (all in good fun) but it’s not like I can talk and fan girl to them about BTS or EXO because they wouldn’t care. Amino is a safe space where I can do that without being judged and even make some new acquaintances along the way. Not to mention, the app is fairly easy to navigate. If there was one thing I personally am not a fan of in amino, it’s where you can’t create your own amino page section thing. You’re the leader of the page, yes. And it can be fun. But it’s hard to get people to join the amino and be interested. And you can like invite a bunch of random strangers but I don’t know. That part just never goes well for me. I think there should be a thing that recommends other amino pages. Like if an account is following several black pink or BTS pages maybe they can get recommended other k-pop pages. This way other pages are able to get more mutuals and people can join if they’re interested.
