A few weeks ago Lemmy was buggy on computers and there were no good mobile clients out there, now on PC the site is pretty stable and fast, and there are now some pretty good iOS/Android clients too. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!
Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly things have improved amid a massive influx of new users! Truly impressive!
I’m really enjoying Jerboa. It stays lightweight and fast!
As someone who has been here for quite some time before the reddit exodus, it is crazy how much this place has improved in such a short time. I used to check lemmy once or maybe twice a day and then I’d go back to reddit. Now with all the new people posting here, lemmy has replaced reddit for me
I joined too early and stopped looking as there was so little content. In fact, when Lemmy started becoming well-known, I forgot I even had an account and made a new one elsewhere. Luckily, my password manager has a better memory!
Now if only my upvotes would go through. Hopefully the patch that was applied to lemmy.world yesterday addresses that. Their instance seems much more stable and responsive now.
I think the whole Fediverse is struggling with Reddit and Twitter sending a lot of new users their way.
Hell yes. Desktop web interface is solid. Jerboa on Android is solid. Now I’m just working on breaking the habit of typing old.reddit.com while waiting for things during the day…
you can use https://mlmym.org/ if you want to use lemmy with old.reddit interface
If you use a private DNS such as adguard’s or nextdns.io you could blacklist reddit to block it from your devices
Thanks spez! You sent all the best devs making free programs for your platform to your biggest competitor, plus enough users for it to reach critical mass and allow the snowball effect to grow. And it’s FOSS so it can’t be stopped!
