Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit? (lemmy.world)

Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.

I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

It's so hard to join lemmy now, and everything lags in lemmy even just an upvote...

Sorry to hear that, but I'm guessing that might be related to your specific instance. So far I'm really happy with mine, but some are evidently struggling to keep up with the influx of Rexxiters. (and bots, maybe?)

Anyway, nothing preventing you from hitting the Fediverse from a different instance, yeah?

same thing is happening to me. I might try making an account on another instance

True. This should get better over time though! There's not a lot of optimistic UI in Remmy and that causes the app to feel a lot slower. There's a lot of PRs up rn to improve the frontend so maybe something will make it in soon!

I haven't been able to upvote a post in a few days.

Every one just sits there for 60s then:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<html>
<h"... is not valid JSON

This is definitely instance related. I have not experienced any issues what so ever since joining.

I've not had any issues? Try another instance, Lemmy.world is very popular and works well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm having lag on lemmy.world. Sometimes just spins for 5+ minutes just to upvote. Sometimes posts won't create at all, just spins and spins.

Hm, perhaps clear cache? They recently upgraded and that can fix some issues.
