      I recommend trying the connect for lemmy app. It is the most polished way to browse I have found so far.

      I kinda love the jankiness it’s reminiscent of how the internet used to be.

      This is a blast from the past. It takes me back to 13 or so years ago when all of us Digg users made the migration over to Reddit.

      That’s not a bad thing, though, as this place has promise! Hopefully increasing numbers of Reddit users take the plunge as the site continues its death spiral.

        It’s funny yeah I remember the redditor panic when all you guys showed up, who’d have thought we’d all end up being refugees together

      Speaking of janky, voting doesn’t seem to actually work for me?

        Might just be performance related? Are posts and comment threads loading slowly for you, by chance?

          Yes, everything is loading very slowly. The voting doesn’t seem like just slow loading, though. When I click the button nothing happens at all, with or without a delay.

            I was having the same the other day, but sure enough the votes were going through eventually. A better pending indicator would be nice for sure.

      I thought the site was unusable (on mobile at least) until I started using wefwef. It’s literally just Apollo - to the point that I’m not sure it’s legal lol. Highly recommend it or some other client over trying to use the raw website.
