I peeked around a bit with Connect (android) for a while, and the things that stood out the most to me was the small size and sluggishness of the whole thing. BUT what also stuck out far more were pins of maintenance because of growth & updates of constant hard work to increase performance, and an interface that (while slightly jank) is infinitely superior to the official reddit app. It's good to see continued growth, especially in such a welcoming community. The problems are providing to be simple growing pains and it's great to be here.
I'm using Connect app too for now. Ateast until Sync for Lemmy is ready! Connect isn't terrible by any means. Though I haven't received a reply or DM yet so I'm not sure if background updates are working.
Liftoff app has been much better than Connect for me
Yup, I totally agree with this. liftoff works really well. Im waiting for Sync.
I've been juggling jerboa, connect, liftoff, and thunder while I decide which one I like best. For like 90% of things, it's liftoff, but some of my subscribed communities show as blank and I'm forced to use one of the others...
Same here, can't wait for Sync!
It really helps that the official Reddit app is so awful. The bar is quite low for acceptability!
Fyi the sluggishness is because you've signed up on lemmy.world, smaller instances don't have this scaling issue :)
Can confirm. Lemmy.world communities work perfectly from other instances. The one I'm on was setup to be scalable and very quick.
