Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Recently I wanted to transfer one 20GB file to my brother and I ended up using FileZilla.
But before that I tried some quick effortless solutions (like opening Skype/Teams and using that) and I failed.
I miss opening the IM app and quickly transfer something.
Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.
Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.
But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.
I'm testing the app in my Pixel 5. Focusing on the performance. I have the high refresh rate option enabled and 90Hz on my phone.
The app in general is blazing fast. Long scrolling happens without stuttering at max speed. Short scrollings also go well.
Now if do mini hits on the display (to do quick and gentle scrolling to make just 1-3 new posts appear at the bottom) then I can sometimes replicate some micro stuttering. But not on every menu. For example it happens in this subreddit that mainly contains text posts. I'm using the "reverse list" view. I think in these situations the phone isn't expecting any load and keeps a very low frequency and that's when I get the stuttering.
Anyway the app is awesome.
I can't say much because it's the only app I tried so far and I joined Lemmy 30 min ago.
But I like it pretty much. Small cards (inversed lists), high refresh rate option (disable by default I suppose to save battery when scrolling), etc.
Maybe I'd change the expand/collapse from hold to single tap. (It's something I'm starting to like to do). oh this option is already there. Some reverse option for the comments. Awesome.
But the app can't be faster. Running it on a Pixel 5.
Happens at the governments, happens at the companies.
I work in some IT projects with like 20-30 people and literally 3-4 of us would be enough. Same thing is probably happening at Reddit.
I can't imagine how many managers, Devs, offshore etc are involved in that shitty Reddit app that is 100 times worse than Infinity, Boost and many more Reddit 3rd party apps.
