A few months ago the app would stutter sometimes with typical use. It was fixed and went away. It’s back for me.

Edit I’m using a Samsung galaxy s23. It stutters in any action - scrolling the feed, opening the menu from left, opening the app, posting. Anything at related to window movement. It’s not stuttering right now when I’m typing.

I’m.on version 1.0.382. I assume it’s the latest because I have auto update on.

When checking the version, I saw a pop-up about database? Is this relevant? It said migrating could improve performance.

It helped very slightly but the stuttering still happens.

    Could you expand on the issue? Is it performance issues you’re seeing with scrolling feeds like All or a community? Or perhaps scrolling comments and seeing the scroll stutter back and forth?

    Also, it may be help in identifying the problem by knowing which settings you’re using, as well as the version you’re on. If you’re on a recent version, you should be able to fill your post with those information by editing your post; there should be a prompt near the top. If you’re not seeing that, you can edit in the info by going into Settings, tapping on the three dots in the top right, and then report bug.

        I don’t think development is done on the older database system so that’s probably why you’re seeing issues. I would recommend people switch over as it’ll worsen over time. Presumably at some point the dev may switch all the remaining clients over in an future update.

          I switched and I’m still experiencing the issue described by OP. I also cleared app data and it kind of helped, but when I logged back in the stuttering came back.

            Not sure but I think users are automatically switched over to the current database system in recent updates so I would suggest updating to the latest version. I’m on v1.0.394. If you’re on a recent version and the stuttering persists, can you reply with the bug report info? You can get that by copying it by going into Settings, tapping the three dots in the top right, and then on bug report.

              Sorry for the super late reply, but I think I finally figured out why the app is stuttering.

              Bug Report

              Describe the issue: UI becomes noticeably laggy and stutters when browsing content from Lemmy.zip. This occurs even when not logged into an account.

              The app runs smoothly when logged out and connected to other instances, using identical settings.

              Steps to reproduce:

              1. Reinstall the app or clear all data
              2. Open the app
              3. Switch instance to Lemmy.zip
              4. Scroll the feed

              Expected behavior: Smooth scrolling and responsive UI

              Actual behavior: Frequent stuttering and lag during scrolling

              Issue appears tied to instance-specific performance or how responses from Lemmy.zip are handled by the app.
