Same here, although it's only like 90% of my posts. I figured it must be on my end, but I guess not.

I know there's been a spike in users but like cmon. Lemmy has been running for like 2 years. Hexbear has just migrated over and all of their users are already complaining that the site is terrible.

Sure it’s been around for a few years, but with a consistently small number of users. With the massive influx of people over the past few weeks, it’s going to take some time to scale up resources to match the new demand. Plus, the code base has never been tested under this kind of load, so I’m sure there’s room for improvement there as well.

Short term fix would be to join a less crowded instance, or start your own.

Heck, if people are willing to help fund it, I’d gladly create an instance.

First of all, it's had a tiny userbase, which is why it's been buggy.

Second, yes there are improvements planned. I believe the next major version is supposed to be pushed out next week and will fix quite a few issues.

Third, even after next week there will still be some issues. That's the price of being an early adopter. If lemmy.ml is really unstable try an account on another instance. lemm.ee and lemmy.fmyh.ml has been really good so far.
