Since Day One (spez' fuckup) I have been trying to use and like lemmy but it just doesn't work right at all. Like as in never did. Communities disappear randomly, posts don't load, submissions have no comments, you name it. At this point I am considering going back to reddit just like everyone else I know that used to care is doing already. Any others out there with same experience or is it just me and my shitty ios app for lemmy?

Lemmy's mobile app ecosystem is terrible... or rather just not very mature and needing a lot more work and contribution. I haven't found a single Lemmy mobile app, iOS or Android. that is usable long term. I've just started logging into Lemmy on my mobile browser and using it that way (which works fine).

Lemmy itself however is great. I run my own instance and yeah, there's expense and work and troubleshooting involved in that, but it's all worth it to have the reddit experience with the Lemmy community and to be in complete control of the gateway that I use for that experience.
