As title says.
I’m on android and really want lemmy to work but it’s just a hot mess on these two apps. Half the time i get errors: java errors, network errors, maintenance errors that all clear up if i back out a reclick or refresh a few times.
Anyone else getting these errors?
I think it’s a server issue (because of the influx of folks like us) more than the apps, which are just dumb clients for the API.
That said, you need get yourself on wefwef.app because it’s the most polished one I’ve seen.
Where do i get it? It’s not on the play store
https://wefwef.app. It’s a progressive web app so your browser will let you install like a normal phone app. Even worked on my Linux desktop.
Your username shows that you’re logged in on lemmy.world, which has issues with the overwhelming number of new users of the pasg days. You can either wait it out, or create a new account on the countless other instances. I would suggest one that is close to your geographic location.
I’m having issues with liftoff for iPhone. I think we just have to wait until everything settles down a little.
I was using liftoff with a lemmy.world account and it was terrible. lots of (badly handled) errors, but all the errors came from the app talking to lemmy.world. So I signed up at a smaller, more local instance (find yours at https://the-federation.info/platform/73), and now it’s a mostly fast and error free experience. Lemmy has totally exploded after reddit’s suicide, growing from 140K to over 2M users in just a few days.
