The entire app doesnt feel "smooth" everything is alright but scrolling is a nightmare. I'm wondering if everyone is experiencing this or just me? Using a Samsung a04.
EDIT: The website is perfectly fine no lags or stutters. I don't think it's an issue with too many people since opening posts and loading images are instant its the scrolling that seems too lag
Also having this issue. When I place my finger on the screen to scroll, it initially kinda "stick" a bit as if it wanted to act like a tap, not a swipe. But then it does start the scroll. And yes, the scrolling action is hard to describe, but certainly not smooth. No other app feels like this.
Same problem here, not an issue with other apps, just this one. Also sometimes I will be scrolling comments on a post and the page will randomly jump back up to the original post at the top.
Not guaranteed to be the answer, but it might just be the instance you are on being overwhelmed with users. My experience is great personally on a google pixel 3. If you were to try a less common instance, it should improve. Everything works great over here at sh.itjust.works.
Results may vary, but that seems to be a common sentiment. Lemmy was not designed for everyone to be on the same server like reddit is. Create an account somewhere not as popular and see if there is a difference.
I'm the only user in my instance and scrolling is definitelly laggy, and I feel it stops scrolling unnaturally sometimes, refresh rate also seems more like 40hz on my 120hz panel
I am curious to why that might be. It could be for several reasons not related to jerboa. Such as what hardware you are running on, network limitations or issues, whatever you are trying to reach is still trying to be collected by your instance. I don't really know.
I mean, it could be the app, but I believe it is potentially the instance because an instance with a lot of users is having to feed a whole lot of users at once. Which is much more resource intensive than the way the fediverse was designed to work by sharing with multiple instances to share the load of users constantly scrolling at the same time.
Imagine you were tasked with handing out a thousand hotdogs at a sporting event. You could do it yourself, but you are going to get overwhelmed very quickly and the line is only going to keep building up. Then imagine you have a hotdog delivery network where there are still 1000 hotdogs to be delivered, but you can share the load by having other vendors take 50 hotdogs each and giving them out at their station. The people get their hotdogs faster as they aren't all waiting on just you and you aren't overwhelmed being the hotdog overlord.
I personally believe that users need to start spreading out to new instances so we don't overload the most popular instances. Lemmy was not designed to work like reddit where there is only one hotdog overlord. Lemmy is better built to be used at scale with much smaller vendors. Another neat feature of this concept is that the fediverse can't be shutdown unless everyone stops selling hotdogs. If one goes down, everything still works fine, you just don't have whatever that particular instance was giving away. Unlike reddit where if there is a problem, the whole site is down and nobody gets any hotdogs.
Which android version are you on? I am having the same problem on Andeoid 13 and seen many posts mentioning 13. I'm thinking could this be specific to Android 13 ?
