Usually when I post a comment the spinny wheel takes 1-3 seconds. Today it’s taking 45-90 seconds. So I reset my phone, thinking it’s just me, but no.

Anyone else having this issue, or is Verizon throttling Lemmy for me?

    They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.

    Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it’s still been 10+ months since the last update.

    I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better. Actual FOSS, huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It’s a champion.

    Here’s hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.
