[GALAXY S24] Performance Issues with Connect for Lemmy - Am I Alone in Experiencing Serious Lag?
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 the
Im honestly surprised that nobody has ever considered using Matrix to potentially create a Discord clone that runs off of Matrix.
Community Chat Platform for Connect for Lemmy
Summary
Potential Implementation of a dedicated chat platform for Connect for Lemmy users, either through Discord or Revolt Chat, to foster community engagement, facilitate feature requests, and provide a space for user discussions.
Detailed Description
As a user of Connect for Lemmy, I personally believe that implementing a community chat platform could GREATLY enhance user experience and community engagement.
This idea is inspired by similar implementations in other Lemmy clients, such as Sync for Lemmy's Discord server.
Two potential options for this feature:
- Discord Server:
- Create an official Discord server for Connect for Lemmy users.
- Advantages: Widely used, feature-rich, and familiar to many users.
- Revolt Chat (https://revolt.chat/):
- Implement an open-source alternative to Discord.
- Advantages: Aligns with open-source principles, potentially more privacy-focused.
Proposed Functionality
- Dedicated channels for:
Community Management for Moderators on "Connect for Lemmy"
Proposed Features:
- Ability for Moderators to Edit Communities:
It would be incredibly useful if moderators could perform administrative tasks for the communities they manage directly from the Connect for Lemmy app. This could include:
- Editing community information (e.g., sidebar text, community rules, descriptions, etc.).
- Managing community settings (visibility, posting rules, allowed content types, etc.).
- Deleting or archiving a community if necessary.
Other third-party apps, such as Summit for Lemmy, have implemented similar functionality, and it would be great to see Connect for Lemmy adopt this feature as well. This would streamline the moderation process and eliminate the need to switch to a desktop or web browser for these administrative tasks, similar to when Reddit allowed Mods/users to manage their subreddits via the Reddit App.
- Ability to Create Communities from the App: Adding the ability for users to create new communities
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that diagonlemmy feels somewhat dead?
Like, all of the posts only have one upvote, and the whole community just doesn't feel very active, at least IMO.
I actually originally applied for an account on leaky_cauldron, but I never got a response back, so instead I decided to make one on Literature.Cafe
I completely understand where you're coming from.
I happen to be Queer myself (MtF, Pansexual, although all of my life, I have been forced to present as Male.)
Where I am coming from is:
1.) As the other commenter mentioned, there's no monetary value for JKR for there to be HP-Themed communities.
2.) By making Fics, "non-canon" pairings, Fan-Art, etc., YOU control the initiative.
I.e, you want Harry to be gay, make him gay, want him to be trans, BAM!, now he's Trans.
You can make him Gay /Straight/Black/White/Fat/Slim/Good/Evil/etc.
Same thing with all of the other characters.
Don't let JKR win by ruining it for you.
3.) It's not like I set up a requirement that everyone who joins has to donate to a gofundme for JKR, Joining and participating is COMPLETELY free.
IDK, just my two cents.

Would you like for me to mod this account, and then later on you could potentially mod yourself if you ever decide to make a Literature. Cafe Account?
New Harry Potter Themed Communities
Hey everyone,
I started a couple of Harry Potter themed communities focused on various Harry Potter Ships, they're based off of the Subreddits with the same names, and I'm looking for some potential moderators to help manage them, as well as some potential users.
