when it works it's amazing. but very often both my phone and laptop are connected to the same WiFi, yet kde connect can't see them. I can't figure out how to diagnose and solve that when it happens

Same, it's just too unreliable to be a tool for me. Which feels like the experience with everything that relies on automatic network discovery.

Same, I haven't used it in years because it was so disappointing when it would randomly stop working.

In the last year I have even given up on KDE in favor of Cinnamon on Mint.I loved KDE but there would always be some issue coming up. LTS Mint with Cinnamon has been rock solid.
