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

      I also moved myself over to lemm.ee and find the experience to be the best I’ve had yet in terms of performance. It’s definitely snappy, what one would expect. I hope it lasts!

      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

          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.

            Yeah, I just spent half an hour re-subscribing to all of my .world communites at lemm.ee. A hassle, but also kinda fun. Encountered a few "subscription pending"s --which I’m not sure is a traffic issue, or not…

        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.

    Guessing it’s just world being crushed. I use launchpad and world has the same issues.

    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?

    I get more on wefwef but have similar issue on all of the apps. I’m on Connect right now cause wefwef failed to load and I have had a few issues here as well.

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

    I’m also wondering if wefwef has error-notification features that some of the others might lack.

    Lemmy.world has twice the amount of registrated users and 4x the amount of active users than the next largest instance (being lemmy.ml), so yeah there definitely are load issues. Reloading the tab in wefwef 3-4 times does load the content though.
