Yeah that’s what I figured but just wanted to get other opinions since its been most of the week. It wasn’t nearly this bad when I first started using the platform but I guess the “official reddit exodus” really took its toll even with the big server upgrades. I’m looking at other instances, but it seems like any instance that isn’t the big ten or so are pretty dead with very few communities. I also want to be federated with lemmygrad and not exploding heads and that seems kinda tough to find though I could stand to look harder.

I tried that and another app right now but it’s telling me that my password is wrong! So I’m nervous to try and reset it right now Guess I’ll try again tomorrow sigh

That just happened to me as I was going to try a new app because I’ve barely been able to interact with lemmy.ml at all the last week due to what seem like bugs. So hopefully it’ll be a short lived issue

This was happening to me on jerboa with my lemmy.ml account for a week or so; I think the app is still just wigging out due to the influx of users. I’d just wait it out and use the browser on mobile and it will probably come around as I don’t have issues with that now. Or try reinstalling?

Lemmy.ml was just upgraded pretty substantially a couple of weeks ago with the first large reddit exodus, so unless there is a ton more monetary support from users, i don’t really know that the problem will be solved. It’s been like this since the 29th. Jerboa is all but unusable for me unless it’s late at night.

Generally it is suggested to jump to a different instance and your performance may improve, lemmy.ml has been way overloaded for a long time

I tried searching for a post link in my instances search and nothing came up. I’ve had this issue with jerboa too, and I think in the browser, where I try to do [email protected] or whatever and it won’t come up, it almost never works for me. but if I type the name of the instance simply, it will populate. I must be doin something funky

Ah I see, I didn’t know that an update to a post needed to be made, that makes sense. The instance isn’t blocked, but I’ll try the post link suggestion and fiddle around to see if that can help populate everything. Thanks for your response!

As far as I can tell, you can through your mobile browser, and with the brand spanky new Liftoff app (android) but not through Jerboa, which sucks. I’m constantly cycling between the browser and jerboa depending on my needs. Searching for communities is waaaaay easier on mobile, but it’s very clunky and you have to have multiple tabs open to make it easier to add multiple communities from one instance on your profile.
