No offence, but, is it just me, or does anyone else find the Connect for Lemmy app to be incredibly laggy?
I’ve been experiencing some seriously frustrating performance problems that are making the app almost unusable.
Initially, I assumed it was my internet connection, and/or my mobile device causing the slowdown.
However, after thoroughly checking my network speeds and stability, as well as my phone, everything seems to be running perfectly fine.
Yet the app continues to crawl, with:
- Slow page/post loads
- Potential UI responsiveness issues
- Images not showing before I tap on them, and then, when I DO tap on them, they are all super pixelated.
- When I assign my profile image via the Web, no matter the image, when I tap on the image to expand it, in this app, it is always super pixelated and crunched up.
- When I tap on the Communities that I moderate via the sidebar, I keep getting told that there are no posts, no matter which moderated community it is. But if I check them via another app, they work perfectly fine.
Commenting, Upvoting, Posting seem to be perfectly fine.
I’m curious if this is a widespread problem or something specific to my device/setup.
Has anyone else encountered similar performance bottlenecks with the Connect for Lemmy app?
Would love to hear about your experiences and potential workarounds.
Someone else found that pixelated images were related to the “Convert images to webp” setting.
This “fix” whilst it does seem to work it can result in a failed handshake sometimes and a few times I’ve had to repeatedly open and close the image before it successfully loads it.
Trading one issue for another it seems in some cases.
