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
typo intended…? 😁
Yeah I’m on a smaller instance and wefwef is snappy af
Same—it’s amazing
It’s not. Using browser or other lemmy apps work when wefwef fails. Pretty sure it’s also due to rate limiting of the app (wefwef in this case)
It’s probably both.
Hmm except when using Memmy I’m getting no issues at all. I’m posting this right now with Memmy no problems, wefwef (which I would rather use) is erroring out continuously
Using LiftOff and getting a lot of 502 Bad Gateway errors when loading comments or upcoming comments/posts. Also, this comment failed to post 2 times before it finally went through.
I can’t even log in. Seems like a cool app though.
Lemm.ee works much better for me right now.
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!
Create temporarily an account somewhere else, such as reddthat.com.
Lemmy.world is overwhelmed
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.
Because one loses subscriptions by moving to a new server
You can transfer your subscriptions with a python script:
You don’t keep your account settings though.
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.
It is a Lemmy issue for sure.
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.
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
A couple of reasons…
-
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.
-
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.

Yes, jumped over to Memmy and had the same thing, might be another world hiccup
Guessing it’s just world being crushed. I use launchpad and world has the same issues.
Shit jus works appears to be okay right, runs pretty quick. Lemmy.World is really taking a beating right now. It sucks :|
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?
This is generally correct.
Yep. Same here. I figure it’ll get sorted out, yeah?
I was getting a lot of errors on lemmy.world (from wefwef and mlem) but once I switched to lemmy.ca it’s been pretty smooth.
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.
I’m also wondering if wefwef has error-notification features that some of the others might lack.
It’s all over Lemmy.
Stopping refreshing for me all together. Tried to join memmy but their full. I really liked it though.
At first I thought it was app, but lemmy.world is struggling on Memmy for me as well
