Yeah I'm much more forgiving for this platform when it just had a crazy influx of users. In fact, I'm actively participating more because I feel like my voice matters a little bit more then it did on Reddit and I want to see this community thrive

The comments timed out twice for me before it would load on Jerboa. That’s just perfect. 👌
This is hilarious. On my Desktop, which is quickly becoming my preferred interface for the moment, I just keep opening new tabs and letting it work when I post so I can move on with reading other content.
I ain't even mad. You've got a good heart, soldier.
The meme sub is spearheading the migration!
Using wefwef on iOS is making me feel like the migration didn’t even happen
It also HIGHLY depends where you sign up. Over at feddit I couldn’t login to browser on PC anymore, couldn’t change my password, which in turn fucked up my login process overall (aka being stuck with Safari and the App I already was logged in), updates aren’t made and a lot of shit is blocked or defederated because of reasons (some even make a lot of sense, so no hard feelings here).
To be fair, it seems like some users on Lemmy.world had the same problems with logins last week. We are still in the try things out until something sticks phase.
I had a feeling some of the larger instances would be feeling the heat. Tried to pick something a little less mainline.
Just using Connect For Lemmy until Boost has a release out. Been nice and stable so far :)
This is why you shouldn't serve an open server from home. If you serve your feddit from your house, it's ok if it's for you and your kids. But if you add more than that, I wonder if it just stops. I serve my photo server for my personal use and it makes struggling noises when I look at the images. I picked a cheap 100 HP mini desktop to try this on so I'm not surprised. So imagine if 100 people wanted a 20MB image from the server's HDD.

Is there some sort of comment duping going on? This is the third time I've seen this sort of thing here on Lemmy.
Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
When I use Jerboa or Connect, sometimes it'll say my comment failed to post when it actually worked. I'll then retry, which results in a double post.
i feel so dirty going on reddit. it's like going to mcdonalds
also helps putting things into perspective when you remember that Reddit has these issues at least once every week
Can't wait for the 3rd party app makers to come with apps so everything will get better and better
i Loved Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy will be awesome. But i highly recommend wefwef.
Absolutely. I will tolerate hours of downtime and indefinite periods of fuckiness, because at least it’s not Reddit. I know I’m valued here. We all are.
Definitely getting a feel for it. It's ALMOST the same but not quite
A very interesting and reassuring mix of novelty and familiarity. Welcome to the other side 😃

Used Apollo before. Now I’m on wefwef and it literally feels like nothing changed lmao.
My oldest reddit account was 13 or 14 years old. I remember when reddit would go down several times a week. Growing pains are just part of the deal!
I'm an extremely new user to Lemmy so I very well may be in the 'honey moon' phase but I freaking love it. Seriously reminds of how exciting it was when reddit first came around, quality over quantity imo.
There are still some early adopter pain points but goddamnit I love it here.
Anyone impatient with Lemmy bugs or downtime clearly wasn't around for Reddit's early days.
Scaling up social websites is never smooth. Expect bumps.
Lemmy has gone from having no viable apps a few weeks ago to having several under active development that are getting better every day. It’s actually impressive. I’ve spent so little time on Reddit today.
My only wish is that Apollo comes back as a Lemmy client in the near future.
This sums up my experience with big instances rn.. lol...
When I use local & smaller instance, it is far faster..
Lemmy is already so much better than Reddit other than the fact its just not as established. And the third party apps are developing so fast that it’s really enjoyable to use
Lemmy is fine but it keeps showing me the same exact post in the same order like it doesn't detect I've already seen a post and shows me it again when I restart the app.
People definitely should pardon some bugs. What I consider a bigger problem is that I am not sure how many people will like the multiple instances.
Even better, because Patrick's rock wins in the end!
In my own experience, Jerboa is far faster than the official Reddit app for Android.
It feels like literally any third party app for Reddit AND Lemmy are far smoother than the official Reddit app. What makes it so damn stuttery?
