I have been using Lemmy for 20 days, at first I opened an account at Lemmy.world because you can join without writing a text and waiting approval. I have been enjoying the experience overall but despite the admin teans best efforts Lemmy.world has been experiencing some serious performance issues. If you want to avoid that join a smaller instance, preferably hosted in your country. I joined discuss.tchncs.de today and everything is so much faster it has added benefit of being able to see beehaw.org posts too. It will improve not only your but all other Lemmy.world users experience too.

      Which app have you been struggling with? Both Jerboa and Connect worked fine with different servers for me, I’m guessing others are fine too

      ? On all Lemmy apps I’ve used, you can just type the URL for the Lemmy instance your account is on, even if it’s not on the “default” list.
