A few weeks ago Lemmy was buggy on computers and there were no good mobile clients out there, now on PC the site is pretty stable and fast, and there are now some pretty good iOS/Android clients too. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!

    Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly things have improved amid a massive influx of new users! Truly impressive!

    As someone who has been here for quite some time before the reddit exodus, it is crazy how much this place has improved in such a short time. I used to check lemmy once or maybe twice a day and then I’d go back to reddit. Now with all the new people posting here, lemmy has replaced reddit for me

    I hope at some point you can join a community on another server and see all posts, not be restricted to what gets posted from now on. Federated is great, but some way to make it transparent would be cool.

      I think you might have a setting wrong. When I join a community on another server I see all of the posts including past ones.

        Well, I have joined communities on other servers where I am the first to join. At that point, it shows up on my server and others on my server can also see it listed, but posts on my server to that group only get updated from the day I joined forward. That’s what I meant.

      Use it for PC too 😉 Since it’s a PWA (Progressive web application) it can be installed (as its own program) on any os with a compatible browser, including Windows, Linux and Mac.

    It just needs horizontal so that you could throw more servers at an instance and improve performance.

    At some point a single community will be so active that one server won’t be enough , it’s better not to split it just so that it will be easier for the software.

      I’d argue the exact opposite. We should strive for more instances and for Lemmy’s userbase to be spread around. The fact that is scaling out (more instances) is easier than scaling up (beefier servers) is a feature, not a bug.
