This is completely unfair to say and you know that. Every piece of new software, every single time, has bugs when it launches. What's the point of software and the internet if such problems can't be fixed? No matter how many testing environments Fandom goes through, some problems will never manifest until an update goes live.
What's important is that the general design and functionality of Community Feeds is working, it's "decent" right now, and receiving generally positive feedback and constructive criticism.
I've been following computer software for almost 30 years and have worked on projects from PC packaged apps (2-6 months lead time before a customer can buy it), to embedded SW in devices (longer lead times), to web SW and web SW has by far the most bugs on average at release and gets patched far more often.
Sorry, but you don't get to decide what is important.

Which means that it's either A) not an issue that actually exists or B) no one reported it. Have you sent this report to Special:Contact/bug and did you get a response before this topic was made? I can say myself that this is not a bug I'm encountering, I can add, edit, and remove categories just fine.
The category editing bug on poll posts is reported and you will see it mentioned in Mira Laime's reply above. And no I did not get a response before this topic was made and I still technically have no idea when the fix will be user accessible.

We have added some more known issues to the above post, since no new post is going up today (there are no code releases on Fridays).
@Fandyllic: We have yet to reproduce the categories issue. There is one known issue with categories (see above), but as far as we can tell, admins can both edit their wiki's existing categories, and edit the category on any new and existing post. If you're referring to editing the category on poll posts specifically, then yes, a fix for that is in the works. We are preparing an update so that mods and admins can edit both tags and categories on poll posts without resetting the vote count.
Where is the UI for adding, editing, or removing existing categories? Is there a special link? I seriously don't see it. I'm not talking about categories in posts or replies, I'm talking about the master list, so if I have existing categories "News", "General", "Stuff", where do I delete "Stuff", so it can no longer be used or add "Silly" so it can be a new category choice?
And yes, I was specifically talking about editing categories on poll posts. Please add that to the known issues list in the first post.
