Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yea I'm having a lot of issues like crashing, and it takes a minute to "send" my post. Is that normal? I'm using "connect for lemmy" on android.
What instance are you signed up for? Lemmy.world and a few of the other biggest servers are pretty overloaded from the reddit influx. Moving to a smaller instance would belp with load times, or give it a few days for your server admin to upgrade it.
Yeah it happened to me yesterday, and probably on this same message too, it's not awful but hopefully they fix it over time. Crashing hasn't happened though. That could be anything at this early stages, even the phone model lol
Using Connect since jerboa is still very clunky and does crash a lot.
Hey, I'm using both Jerboa and Connect, and I can't even comment due to some weird timeout errors, followed by random code strings.
You sure? Thus posted twice. Sometimes it just looks like it didn't go through.
Jebora was really buggy for me. Connect has been teally good tho... are you on one of the overloaded instances (like lemmy.world)? The new influx of users has caused a few of the super big instances to have some issues. Creating an account on a less populated server should help with some of the issues (or waiting a few days until the overloaded servers get a chance to upgrade their equipment)

Fittingly, your comment got posted twice
I was using Connect, half the time it would error out. Just moved to Liftoff. Feels quicker. Currently running both side by side; Connect is still giving errors but Liftoff seems problem free on exactly the same posts/channels. Will however move back to Sync as soon as it is ready (that was my default for Reddit)
