Lemmy itself is going through growing pains too

Yes, I understand that people like myself fleeing from an increasingly commercialized and censored Reddit are causing problems here, hence my patience.

Do you use any mobile clients or alternative front ends for Lemmy

I’ve got Jerboa on my mobile, but I find it very confusing to use so I hardly ever do, anyhow I am not a ‘mobile friendly’ person, I own one but it spends most of its life sitting on my desk switched off. Try not to be too shocked, it’s bad for your blood pressure!

How am I liking lemmy? Well, the server I chose has been down far longer than it has been up since I joined, so that is not exactly a good start, but I am patient, I’ll wait and hope for a better performance in the near future. Interesting little tool you linked to on github, pity it is no longer compatible, it might have been useful given the server problems here.

I’m fairly new to lemmy so excuse me if I am telling you what you already know, but I have found out that at times when you can’t get onto feddit.ch due to the ‘server error’ fault, it is still possible to view and post to it from another instance. Create an account on another instance, then subscribe to whatever feddit.ch community you are following and usually it works. For example 2 hours ago when I posted the reply below I couldn’t login here at all whereas now I can (though I don’t know how long for). Maybe this suggests there is some configuration fault with the feddit.ch server that is randomly denying access from the wider internet whilst still allowing it from other lemmy servers, who knows?

The expression on the child’s face is priceless!
