Not complaining by any means–wefwef is becoming my favorite way to access lemmy on my Android phone–just curious if any of the rest of you are seeing this a lot? I’m on lemmy.world, so it’s entirely possible there are load issues, but I was just curious.

    It’s not the app, it’s lemmy.world

    Users are up 40% since Apollo shit down. The servers are getting slammed I’m sure

      Hmm except when using Memmy I’m getting no issues at all. I’m posting this right now with Memmy no problems, wefwef (which I would rather use) is erroring out continuously

        Using LiftOff and getting a lot of 502 Bad Gateway errors when loading comments or upcoming comments/posts. Also, this comment failed to post 2 times before it finally went through.

      It’s not. Using browser or other lemmy apps work when wefwef fails. Pretty sure it’s also due to rate limiting of the app (wefwef in this case)

    Stopping refreshing for me all together. Tried to join memmy but their full. I really liked it though.

    I just noticed that lemmy.world is based in Finland(?) There are probably a lot of variables, but would a USA-based instance be snappier in a general sense? Obviously Lemmy as a whole is getting battle tested recently–but in theory, would an instance geographically closer to the user perform better?

      Why a temporary account? It’s a federation so all posts and comments posted will be seen on all federated servers/instances. For example, I’m on the lemmy.ca instance and I can read your comment and reply to you, no problem.

        Until cross instance delay improves, what you are saying is easier said than done. I’m experiencing hours to days delays on comment updates from threads across instances. It’s beyond annoying

        A couple of reasons…

        1. Lemmy.world is a large instance and thus has a lot of communities. Your local feed will be very robust as opposed to if you go to a very small instance or a self hosted one.

        2. Picking too small of an instance could mean the admin might decide they get bored with it one day or can’t keep it up for whatever reason. You will lose your account entirely this way.

        Also depends on what sort of lemmy community you want, some allow nsfw but not porn, some allow downvotes, some don’t. Some have defederated from lots of communities shrinking the content you can access. When I sorted through the giant table of lemmy servers and looked at which ones had the things I wanted in a server, there were only one or two that would work for me. Of course that list will grow, but it’s not so easy to just switch.

          True. I had to painstakingly subscribe to all the communities, but now I’m good, I’m staying at lemmy.ca. In a federated system, we can’t have users subscribbing only to one instance. It needs to be balanced out.

    Lemmy has basically become useless in the last few days. Especially with the mlem and Memmy. Non stop errors and fails to load. I highly doubt this comment will even post.

      I’ve only had a bit of issues with a couple of instances that are being slammed really hard right now because of the migration. It’s mostly been fine but crazy how much it’s growing. Went to look at reddit and a lot of it looks like a ghost town/ what happened to digg during the reddit move. These are mostly growing pains.
