Probably yeah.

I already raised a UX improvement request with the developer of Connect.

If something similar happens with Jerboa then that can be brought to their notice too.

This is a good experiment.

Made a post: https://lemmy.world/post/1021106

Hopefully the dev notices.

Depth - 41.

Jerboa's still solid (although it is nearing its limit).

Connect only displays rainbow lines now, oof.

I wish someone replicated how Relay did it. After like 10-20 comments, it made the next comment a top level one when we clicked on 'show more'. This meant that the depth never went below 10-20 for anything and nothing got squished up.

Jerboa still displaying everything properly (for now).

Connect's all squished up.

Let's do moar! For science.

We in pretty deep now.

What app?

Try tapping the comment, or tapping and holding onto it. Options should pop up.

If that doesn't work, try swiping left or right.

These are the 2 most common gestures I've seen on most Lemmy apps.

I don't think lemmy does video yet. Only text and images.

So yeah almost all of the videos you see would be external links.

I'm guessing it's the larger instances that are lagging due to the sudden amount of users that have joined.

Most new users tend to join the bigger ones and that exacerbates the problem.
