Yes, and my partner notices it too. Slow loading, janky searches (sometimes search comes up with no results??), posts that show a mass of “deleted” comments, votes not getting logged (if you refresh the page, they’re gone). I’m American on mobile browser.
Happens regularly to me, posts not loading, votes not working, comments failing to get submitted… I’m located in the EU, maybe that’s a part of the problem?
It seems to be getting slower and slower and has even been off-line a couple of times. I've been there 16 years but am getting pretty close to completely bailing out.
I think and predicted that they going to close old.reddit soon, as they want to "optimize user experience" with new UI. (I.e: not load all post so fast, but pretent to 'loading and pause' so you are going to engage more than scrolling, especially stuck at loading new post after you scroll past and ads, so you can spend some time reading the ads, ...)
the day they killed i.reddit I knew it was only a matter of time
It's like how all the public 3rd spaces got killed as a sacrifice to the automotive industry, now all of our digital 3rd spaces are being sacrificed to big tech
So I am new to Lemmy and I am just trying to use it more and more each day. It sure seems anemic as the content I see appears to be people supporting the old Reddit before it went mega-shit and screwing over the old mods. So, thank you for letting me come here to try it out.
