New Supernatural Community

To help expand Lemmy's offerings, I recently made a new Lemmy Community that's based around the show Supernatural.

---

Supernatural is a long-running American TV series that follows the adventures of two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, as they hunt and battle supernatural creatures such as demons, ghosts, and monsters.

The series begins with the brothers searching for their missing father, who is also a hunter, and unfolds into a complex narrative involving apocalyptic themes, angels, and divine beings.

Throughout the series, Sam and Dean face numerous challenges, including personal sacrifices and moral dilemmas, as they navigate their roles in the fight against evil forces

I'm rewatching spn and I'm on s2 ep12, and I think that it's so funny how dean is viewed as probably one of the worst criminals in american history.

It just makes me wonder if his story ever became popular?

I'm talking Ted Bundy or Dahmer type of fame.

Ik that there's ppl who are fascinated by these stories, and I thought that it would be funny if someone ended up making a podcast about Dean's crimes, or even a tv show.

Summary

Potential Implementation of a dedicated chat platform for Boost 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 Boost 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:

1. Discord Server:
   • Create an official Discord server for Boost for Lemmy users.
   • Advantages: Widely used, feature-rich, and familiar to many users.

---

2. Revolt Chat

• Implement an open-source alternative to Discord.
• Advantages: Aligns with open-source principles, potentially more privacy-focused.

---

Proposed Functionality

• Dedicated channels for:
  • Feature requests and suggestions
  • Bug reports
  • General discussion
  • App updates and announcements
• User roles (e.g., moderators, developers, regular users)
• Integration with GitHub for issue tracking (if applicable)
• Polls for community feedback on potential features

---

Benefits

1. Improved user engagement and community building
2. Direct line of communication between users and developers
3. Centralized platform for feature requests and bug reports
4. Faster dissemination of updates and announcements
5. Potential for community-driven development and testing

---

Implementation Considerations

• Moderation needs and policies
• Integration with existing support channels
• Resource allocation for managing the community platform
• Privacy and data handling considerations

---

I personally believe that this feature would SIGNIFICANTLY enhance the Boost for Lemmy experience and strengthen our user community.

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 them via another app, they work perfectly fine.

Commenting, Upvoting, Posting seem to be perfectly fine.

I'm curious if this is a widespread problem or something specific to my device/setup.

Has anyone else encountered similar performance bottlenecks with the Connect for Lemmy app?

Would love to hear about your experiences and potential workarounds.
