Ah, good point- I was mostly being hyperbolic to illustrate just how shitty the Reddit app was.

I think all the previous redditors did the same thing I did when signing up. Lemmy.world sounds the most general, so that’s the instance I used. I’ll give a smaller/more local one a try and see if that improves the performance!

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Regardless, I really don’t care much about the glitches or slowdown if it means I don’t have to see a full screen “He Gets Us” ad every two goddamn seconds.

On Liftoff it's needed to be logged in on every instance (it handles multiple accounts), so I don't find it convenient even though I admire how polished the interface is.

Looks like this is Android only. Us iOS users stuck using wefwef.

this. the corpos have pushed us to apps so much that many of us forgot that web browsers are very much an option.

lemmy has been the only thing that made me open the regular firefox in a long time. for the most part, i use firefox focus, because everything you wanna stay logged into makes you use an app. no exaggeration there. but lemmy's web ui actually works because it's been made by people who just want you to be able to use it, not people who want you to sell you on an app instead that can track you way better than your browser would ever allow.

Yeah, it's got some odd jumps sometimes when upvoting or expanding images but otherwise it works pretty good

I tried out different apps because of the autoloading of new posts that happens on the site. I think that might have been fixed in the update, but now I'm having issues logging into lemmy.world on the site, because if the update. I keep reminding myself it's early days and things will get smoother soon.

Connect is working well for me atm.

Given how buggy it is, it's entirely possible. Also, ad targeting exists. He could be a member of specific demographics (age, income, location) being targeted by a lot of ads, thus he ended up seeing a lot of ads.
