Theres hope
Is that why I need to click to subscribe 5 times having it time out every time?
Yep. Try registering a new account on different instance that isn’t as crowded, the issues will be much better.
I expected to see issues with just the offending instance even on another instance account, but hopped onto one of my smaller ones and found this post again much faster because it didn’t take forever to load the page and again to load into the comments.
That’s pretty dope!
For those of you who, like me, are coming from Apollo you guys can try wefwef.app. It’s great
That looks great, thanks!
I keep getting “cant load sever data” with this app. Is this just a lemmy thing or an app thing.
In one of the posts a couple days ago the developer of wefef stated that the app is getting rate limited by lemmy.world servers because so many people are using it. I think they were trying to resolve it but I am still getting the same issue occasionally. It’s just growing pains of the whole ecosystem & totally expected and normal. I’m happy to be an early adopter of all this stuff and watching it grow and mature will be an exciting adventure!
It’s a nice app, but I’m really wondering who came up with that name and why. That’s not how you name something if you want it to be successful.
It’s getting a name change.
I would hope so lol
Perhaps they’re not trying to “be successful”?
undefined> wefwef.app
where do you get it?
You pop wefwef.app in the browser which can then be installed as a PWA.
You can also install any Lemmy instance as a PWA as well if you want.
I know this night sound like a dumb comment, but it’s kind of worth thinking about.
Since it isn’t an iOS app, they could probably make a version of it which isn’t so iOS inspired, because frankly that layout is confusing to anyone who isn’t used to it.
I know Apple have a way of doing things, and they’re like apps to look a certain way, but if you’re not used to it it’s not intuitive at all.
But the point of wefwef is to feel familiar to those who used and are missing Apollo, the most popular iOS app.
There has been a groundswell of Android apps starting up and not a great deal of activity in the iOS-specific space. So, wefwef is welcome for those looking for something that ticks that box.
Oh yeah, it’s a bit all over the place, eh? Looks quite slick though, might give it a go!
I just put a webpage link to my Lemmy homepage on my Home Screen. I haven’t found the ability to comment or anything though, and I’m signed in.
Edit- apparently I was signed out. 🤣
Waiting for sync
It’s great to be here. All part of the fun of being apart of something new.
I feel much as I did 12 years ago when I created my reddit account. I feel the winds of change in my bones.
All the old Redditors jumped ship. Let’s hope the new redditors and spam bots don’t jump ship with them.
Unfortunately, if there’s any hope of lemmy really taking off, they’ll come eventually. All popular sites and services have to deal with it at some point.
I’d prefer the new redditors to the elitist ones, but well, what can I do.

Leave
No u.
I’m afraid you’re stuck with elitist pricks like me now :p
They even brought over the nobody replies to my comments part. Crazy!
What are you talking about?
It’s just lemmy.world, because majority of people jumped on it.

Use different instances to get better experience (you can still subscribe to communities that aren’t on your server)

Well, if its too slow, you can just self-host it.
How expensive would this be?
Well, if you have an old laptop or computer laying around, its free. It should not be very resource intensive if you’re only using it for yourself.
But you do need a domain name if i remember correctly.
Will be looking into that thanks a lot
I have to check this… As that would the best way to have control of the account without risking that the instance were I am suddenly dissapears although I guess I need to setup cloudfare or something on my domain to avoid direct attacks to my dedicated server I guess as the instance where I am would be public to other users.
That and some domain provider with privacy protection which most have nowadays so my name and address isn’t public directly on my domain info.
Yeah but these guys aren’t trying to make a profit from us and Reddit had venture capital money.
i still get substribe in peding. it was one week ago.
I’ve seen some people suggest unsubscribing and then resubscribing to resolve the delay. But that’s never worked for me 🤷♂️
I purposefully avoided the “main” lemmy instances because I thought it would be more in the “fediverse spirit” to contribute to a smaller community, I joined Lemmy.ca as a Canuck.
So far our instance is running good and we have plans ready to scale up when needed. Our standard of performance that we will strive to meet at all times is extremely fast.
I love that your first instinct after being here just a few hours is to bitch about things. Maybe donate and thank the devs for the free work they’re doing so you don’t have to deal with the bullshit on Reddit, and then in a month or so when the user influx has calmed down a bit, then you can bitch if you want.
Yeah on that note how do we help the instances so they can take more load is there like a way to donate or something?
i don’t think this was intended as an entirely serious complaint.
personally i’m very impressed with how well it’s still running right now despite the influx
Did you think redditors will stop moaning just cause they are in a new place? Bitching is universal as long as three or more people can gather around on some corner of the internet.
Damn bro chill, they were making a joke

No! Anger! Must be mad!
True, we might’ve escaped reddit but we are still on the internet
Anything to make you feel at home 🥰
I just wish any of my comments would go through today!!
Join a smaller instance.
