Yeah I spent 2 weeks on Jerboa unable to post, comment, subscribed etc because the instance I joined was not yet a login option on the app. Still have that issue with every other app.

You can tell the devs are working hard on these apps though. It's a race to get a polished app released before people lose interest in leaving reddit.

Liftoff has been pretty good for me. Might be worth exploring.

Indeed. I've seen the rate of app updates pick up recently, and I feel it's noticeably smoother than a couple weeks ago. Great effort is being done and I'm grateful towards the devs for that.

Just in case you don't already know: On most apps you can type in your instance instead of selecting one from the drop down menu. Im on a small instance too and it took me a week or so to figure it out last month lol

I look forward to talking about my first few weeks on Lemmy in years to come: "Back then I had to use an app that was in alpha and wait ten minutes to load a page full of bean memes! And then we got hacked!"
