When I first logged into Nheko, it showed a loading spinner, but it was taking a very long time, I was starting to worry that it was broken or something wasn't working (as I had just fixed one issue with the program and was worried I would run into another). I ended up closing the program mid-task which caused it break, leading me to do a reinstall (I am not experienced enough to know how to fix it without a reinstall).
The Solution
Add a sentence under the spinner saying that initial syncing might take a while/ a few minutes (like how Element does it). It would help new users who might not know that it could take a while and would provide assurance that the program is working as intended.
