I really want to like Lemmy (lemmy.zip)

I really want to like lemmy, but it's difficult. I'm new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but... I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren't that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It's not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

I’ve heard that one is just a bug. Hopefully they’re working on it. Mlem (the iOS app) seems to have it handled, but it does crash a lot, and it’s frustrating to lose your scroll progress. I think we just have to wait it out in these early days 😵‍💫

I also don't seem to have that problem with Jerboa.

I believe it’s specifically an issue with the web client. The apps don’t seem to have that problem.

This is good to hear. Hopefully they can work out their aggregation on the main page too.

They've also fixed the problem on Jebora

Having FOS Jerboa could mean we'll have a sync and Boost like app hopefully rather sharpish.

Even the last 2 updates have been rather impressive.
