I don’t know what it is on Firefox but Lemmy is just terrible on it. It takes forever to load or just won’t load icons and everything. Whenever it does that I just need to retype in Lemmy.world in the address bar and then it’s good for like 3 minutes and it happens again. I don’t experience this on any other browser.
Does anyone else experience this? I’m on iOS. Firefox on my android tablet is also buggy along with my iOS experience
The recent update (v0.18) performs a lot better than the version running on lemmy.world (v0.17.4), thanks to ripping out the websocket interface and replacing it with HTTP requests. Some instance admins are (understandably) waiting for the CAPTCHA to get refactored before updating though.
The websocket interface provided live-updating feeds and comment sections, along with a lot of bugs. It was pretty cool, but scaled very poorly which made fixing the remaining bugs a futile effort.
