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 community sizes here at the current time definitely allow for more user to user interaction. It’s much harder for your voice to get lost in an overwhelming sea of useless comments as it tends to in the larger Reddit subs.
And I feel like there’s a lot less algorithm generated aggression. It’s nice, reminds me of reddit back in the earlier days.
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
When I started on Reddit 14 years ago these issues would be daily or more. It was pretty unstable under load.
What bugs? I dont think I’ve actually run into any bugs?
The comments timed out twice for me before it would load on Jerboa. That’s just perfect. 👌
Try wefwef, it’s hands down more polished than the Lemmy web UI and Jerboa.
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.
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!
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.
Using wefwef on iOS is making me feel like the migration didn’t even happen
The meme sub is spearheading the migration!
Meme it and they will come
Even better, because Patrick’s rock wins in the end!
SPOILER ALERT NEXT TIME PLEASE
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.
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.
