Lot's of "Failed to load" and similar error messages with wefwef. Anyone else?

Not complaining by any means--wefwef is becoming my favorite way to access lemmy on my Android phone--just curious if any of the rest of you are seeing this a lot? I'm on lemmy.world, so it's entirely possible there are load issues, but I was just curious.

It’s not the app, it’s lemmy.world

Users are up 40% since Apollo shit down. The servers are getting slammed I’m sure
- typo intended...? 😁
- Yeah I’m on a smaller instance and wefwef is snappy af
  
  Same—it’s amazing
- It’s not. Using browser or other lemmy apps work when wefwef fails. Pretty sure it’s also due to rate limiting of the app (wefwef in this case)
  
  It’s probably both.

- Hmm except when using Memmy I'm getting no issues at all. I'm posting this right now with Memmy no problems, wefwef (which I would rather use) is erroring out continuously
  
  Using LiftOff and getting a lot of 502 Bad Gateway errors when loading comments or upcoming comments/posts. Also, this comment failed to post 2 times before it finally went through.
- I can’t even log in. Seems like a cool app though.
Lemm.ee works much better for me right now.
- I also moved myself over to lemm.ee and find the experience to be the best I’ve had yet in terms of performance. It’s definitely snappy, what one would expect. I hope it lasts!
I just noticed that lemmy.world is based in Finland(?) There are probably a lot of variables, but would a USA-based instance be snappier in a general sense? Obviously Lemmy as a whole is getting battle tested recently--but in theory, would an instance geographically closer to the user perform better?
- This is generally correct.
Create temporarily an account somewhere else, such as reddthat.com.

Lemmy.world is overwhelmed
- Why a temporary account? It's a federation so all posts and comments posted will be seen on all federated servers/instances. For example, I'm on the lemmy.ca instance and I can read your comment and reply to you, no problem.
  
  Because one loses subscriptions by moving to a new server
  
  Until cross instance delay improves, what you are saying is easier said than done. I'm experiencing hours to days delays on comment updates from threads across instances. It's beyond annoying
  
  You don't keep your account settings though.
  
  Also depends on what sort of lemmy community you want, some allow nsfw but not porn, some allow downvotes, some don't. Some have defederated from lots of communities shrinking the content you can access. When I sorted through the giant table of lemmy servers and looked at which ones had the things I wanted in a server, there were only one or two that would work for me. Of course that list will grow, but it's not so easy to just switch.
  
  A couple of reasons...
  
  Lemmy.world is a large instance and thus has a lot of communities. Your local feed will be very robust as opposed to if you go to a very small instance or a self hosted one.
  
  Picking too small of an instance could mean the admin might decide they get bored with it one day or can't keep it up for whatever reason. You will lose your account entirely this way.
Guessing it's just world being crushed. I use launchpad and world has the same issues.
Shit jus works appears to be okay right, runs pretty quick. Lemmy.World is really taking a beating right now. It sucks :|
Yes, jumped over to Memmy and had the same thing, might be another world hiccup
I get more on wefwef but have similar issue on all of the apps. I'm on Connect right now cause wefwef failed to load and I have had a few issues here as well.
I was getting a lot of errors on lemmy.world (from wefwef and mlem) but once I switched to lemmy.ca it’s been pretty smooth.
Yep. Same here. I figure it’ll get sorted out, yeah?
Lemmy has basically become useless in the last few days. Especially with the mlem and Memmy. Non stop errors and fails to load. I highly doubt this comment will even post.
- No issues here. Just make an account on a smaller instance!
  
  Any your voice from the smaller instance will likely not be heard due to syncing delays and issues ☹️
- I've only had a bit of issues with a couple of instances that are being slammed really hard right now because of the migration. It's mostly been fine but crazy how much it's growing. Went to look at reddit and a lot of it looks like a ghost town/ what happened to digg during the reddit move. These are mostly growing pains.
- Maybe let’s give them a couple of weeks to cope with the surge in migration from Reddit.
I'm also wondering if wefwef has error-notification features that some of the others might lack.
Lemmy.world has twice the amount of registrated users and 4x the amount of active users than the next largest instance (being lemmy.ml), so yeah there definitely are load issues. Reloading the tab in wefwef 3-4 times does load the content though.

Stopping refreshing for me all together. Tried to join memmy but their full. I really liked it though.
At first I thought it was app, but lemmy.world is struggling on Memmy for me as well
It’s all over Lemmy.
