Mastodon is unbearably slow to scroll on mobile Firefox?

@mookie well yeah I was referring to android Firefox, specifically F-Droid Fennec. I suspect now it may be to do with this. It scrolls okay when old versions of Mastodon before new "vertical buttons bar" was introduced when it is stil horizontal like Qoto and Fedibird instances, then it became too slow. or may be it has to do with my phone being Huawei, I actually so far quite often encountered cases when my system and apps worked glitchy and not like supposed too.

@fisunov
I use @Tusky for my mobile mastodon use, but I just tested it out on Fennec for the sake of your poll.

And wow, it's slow. I scrolled up and down over the same set of toots a few times, and kept lazy loading each scroll.

It made me appreciate how fast and snappy Tusky is.

@rei I think even more slow when scrolling hashtags and even with Chromium not the same like before. Actually when I first saw Mastodon I was big fan and now just wondering what went wrong and disappointed with the new Mastodon being so much more slow, more broken, more mainstream, less open, and feel more cluttered. I don't think it right direction for Mastodon. I don't think it particular Fennec fault but rather some questionable Mastodon software decisions. I think more Fediverse people should support forks like Qoto and Fedibird instead and we should have more instances of them. I very skeptical of Fediverse community so eagerly moving to new version and abandoning old Mastodon.
