As of 1.0.2-alpha.21:
1
Unlisted should be part of the default Boundaries, if for nothing else but parity with other Fedi software
1
Markdown formatting seems to be escaped in arbitrary cases, but shows up (fails to show up really) when replying to remote users

The web app (the defacto client) refreshes at any opportunity it detects a loss of connectivity. This becomes a problem on mobile because Chromium breaks active connections if the screen turns off, focus switches to another tab for long enough, or the browser changes UI state doesn't reason. The mobile UX is constantly losing state, making it near unusable.
2
The Vanity Metrics toggle seems to be broken on my instance, because it only counts replies and no other activities
Also annoying: the list of interactions (Liked by, Boosted by, etc) is not interactable or queryable
The second part is already acknowledged as an issue, at least: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1769

Critical: content warnings are not processed properly from certain software, leaving their content to be completely exposed. This has been observed in
- GoToSocial
- Akkoma
Also, content warnings also do not hide Quoted Activities, which leads to disaster with the trend of using quotes to add warnings to content that does not have warnings
Both reported, finally:
https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1840
https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1841
bonfire-app#1840 should be patched in the next release, but 1841 is tougher, considering that other instance software is being inconsistent with how they handle CWs.

It seems to be impossible to remove a profile photo or banner except by uploading a new one to replace them.

Heisenbug: clicking on an activity in a feed that's pulled from a thread has a chance of replacing the root post in a thread, rendering the thread incoherent.
The linked activity will show up fine in its thread position as well, though.

Bonfire processes Pixelfed hashtags as link cards as well as regular tags when it should only do the latter
Reported and hopefully resolved: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1833

my instance has updated to alpha.34, but I suspect most of the issues above are still present
