That probably won't last given Spez's bullshit, but I gotta say, Lemmy is looking pretty promising. The Jeroba mobile app is a little underwhelming though, voting and replying to comments is a hassle. Maybe the RIF dev will make a Lemmy app or help improve Jeroba.
At least on Android, I can't respond to or vote on responses that show up in my inbox. Clicking on the message itself does nothing instead of taking me to the message. The UI definitely needs improvements in usability but it's still very much in development as far as I could tell.
I think it's having trouble keeping up with the rush of users. I'll admit though it's pretty frustrating that my upvotes don't register. I get "timeout" after a few seconds.
Yeah it's really slow right now. Like you, I assume it's because of an influx of new people but took me like a minute to just log in. Hopefully it's not as bad once the rush of people starts settling
