Hey Lemmy's pretty solid now, thanks devs! - eviltoast

A few weeks ago Lemmy was buggy on computers and there were no good mobile clients out there, now on PC the site is pretty stable and fast, and there are now some pretty good iOS/Android clients too. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!

    Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly things have improved amid a massive influx of new users! Truly impressive!

    As someone who has been here for quite some time before the reddit exodus, it is crazy how much this place has improved in such a short time. I used to check lemmy once or maybe twice a day and then I’d go back to reddit. Now with all the new people posting here, lemmy has replaced reddit for me

      Use it for PC too 😉 Since it’s a PWA (Progressive web application) it can be installed (as its own program) on any os with a compatible browser, including Windows, Linux and Mac.

      Similar for me on the jerboa client. It’s not every time but most of the time and it’s very frustrating to have to wait 20 seconds for a page to load and then get “network” error, which can happen 5-10 times in a row. This comment keeps failing to post as well.

    It just needs horizontal so that you could throw more servers at an instance and improve performance.

    At some point a single community will be so active that one server won’t be enough , it’s better not to split it just so that it will be easier for the software.

      I’d argue the exact opposite. We should strive for more instances and for Lemmy’s userbase to be spread around. The fact that is scaling out (more instances) is easier than scaling up (beefier servers) is a feature, not a bug.
