Since Day One (spez' fuckup) I have been trying to use and like lemmy but it just doesn't work right at all. Like as in never did. Communities disappear randomly, posts don't load, submissions have no comments, you name it. At this point I am considering going back to reddit just like everyone else I know that used to care is doing already. Any others out there with same experience or is it just me and my shitty ios app for lemmy?

The nice thing about Lemmy is, it doesn't care if you "go back to reddit". Nobody is monetizing you here so nobody is incentivized to try and get you to stay. Not having fun using Lemmy? Go on then. Reddit is probably where you are happiest. This is a newish system that has exploded. If you can't be inconvenienced by glitches and growing pains in a FREE service, by all means, go be a product for Reddit to sell.

This service isn't really free either to be honest

The admins are paying or the donations are what keeps the services financed :)

True, but no one’s milking you for money here
