I thought Thunder was very buggy in its last release. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

But I was wrong, it is a breeze to use with smaller instances, lemmy.world seems that it is exploding.

Hey! Yeah, a lot of the issues at the moment involving timeouts and 50x errors are mainly due to the instances being overloaded (e.g. lemmy.ml and lemmy.world)

I'm having issues myself since I use lemmy.world and I've encountered those same issues 😅

It's harder for me to fix those issues as they are based on the instance themselves, but there are places where I could definitely improve the experience a bit more. For example, only showing a toast notification rather than a full screen message, allow for automatic retries, etc.

Those sound like pretty neat ideas!

Agreed, I feel like it's gotten a little better at gracefully dealing with server lag.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, definitely have been experiencing the peaks and downs.

The UI department is already great other than a customizable color theme, function wise, lots of little things still need polishing.

Yeah thinking of going over to another instance. Anyone know how easy it is to migrate subscriptions from one instance to another?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All manual, no possibility to migrate anything.

Unfortunate. Although maybe I should have a look at the API
