Missing wefwef. Every app has its flaws, but Connect is the more feature-rich.

It's easy to complain about the bugs in every one of them, but let's not forget that for the vast majority of us, we didn't even know that Lemmy ever existed a month ago.

Progress has been astounding

Lemmy, Mastodon and Kbin are the future of social media.

Lemmy currently lacks the userbase for niche, specific communities, or subregional communities

Ads.

well thats quite infuriating I would say

Well this is sad.

Yes, I expect some instances to have some difficulty coping with the traffic in July

I sometimes go to Reddit again, mostly by habit, but once Relay stops working, I'm done.

Where's that popcorn eating GIF when you need it

Digg still exists as of today. The lack of moderators and content creators will probably lead to a bot / meme / political agenda factory.

Connect is the most feature rich of all lemmy clients but it seems incredibly unoptimized.

Aside from the "usual" random crashes. I can literally feel my phone getting more and more sluggish until the system memory is just filled to the brim and it crashes. Definitely not a Doom Scroll friendly client at the moment.

My guess is all these trackers are from linked URLs from posts that Connect fetches without valid reason.

Since it's still in early development I will still keep an eye on it, but yeah, it needs some more optimization

And I expect it to fall another 6% or more on July 1st. So long, Reddit

And so close to the deadline as well. It's really weird

I think you are mixing two things up. Some 4k remasters have incredibly distracting film grain. Blade Runner comes to mind. It's a matter of personal taste and how accurate you want the film to reflect the film source.

The more compressed the file is, the les accurate it is, and film grain is the first thing to get crushed by compression algorithms

IMO thats the beauty of a federated network

That's an unfortunate timing. They should have locked registrations before accepting too much traffic

Even if the Fediverse catches on and that Reddit goes down the way of Digg, Reddit will still remain a goldmine of information for years.

This is like watching a trainwreck in slowmotion. I feel so bad for employees whose company was bought up from Embracer.

Considering it might not go out for at least 7-8 years, if not 10, I'm not suprised.

Case in point:

Jerboa uses max 250MB and a mature app like Relay barely tops 200MB

Same.
