I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.
Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.
It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha
What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know
The timeouts are because of the huge influx in users. The way Lemmy currently connects to the server is horribly inefficient and the new 0.18 release should fix a lot of the issues we’re seeing now. I think they said it would release soon, so hopefully we can hold out until then.
Mastodon had a similar story earlier this year when the Twitter Migration happened.
