Finally tried the official Reddit app. It’s as bad as they say.

      Ah, good point- I was mostly being hyperbolic to illustrate just how shitty the Reddit app was.

      I think all the previous redditors did the same thing I did when signing up. Lemmy.world sounds the most general, so that’s the instance I used. I’ll give a smaller/more local one a try and see if that improves the performance!

        lemm.ee is really good, fast, mature instance with good admin. Not ad, unfortunately 😁

        That’s how I wound up on lemm.ee—US hosted, not the biggest one, with admins that seem to give a damn was good enough for me.

        I ran into the same issue with Lemmy.World. Tried switching to Beehaw.org first (before I learned that they had defederated from some of the bigger instances) and had my “application” rejected. Appears I didn’t provide good enough reasons for why I wanted to join their particular instance. To me, it just shouldn’t be that serious. Tried sh.it just.works and well, it works!
