So… how’s Lemmy doing? Any plans to upgrade soon? It’s pretty slow and really hit or miss with loading. About 40% of the things either don’t open or fail to post.
And I’m fine with that! For now. Growing pains and whatnot. But it’d be cool to see some plans on how Lemmy is prepared to handle this growth. It already lacks a number of smaller communities I miss, so if there’s to be any reason to use it, it’s gotta at least function.
My understanding is that the problems you are experiencing are limited to Lemmy.world. At least I’m not having those problems, though I have seen some other significant glitches.
Lemmy world seems really bogged at the moment. I’d suggest considering a smaller instance if you want snappy performance. I moved to lemm.ee for now and it’s a lot quicker.
It’s just .world’s insane growth, it might take a bit for the gentleman running it to catch up. 85k users have signed up in the month it has been open, about 25 to 30k of them in the last three days, since Reddit third party apps went down.
I’m going to set up a donation tomorrow. If a bunch of us gave even a dollar a month, it should give him plenty to work with.
There’s a large influx of new users on larger instances that the admins are struggling to deal with at the moment. It will hopefully level out eventually. If it’s that big a deal, join a smaller instance, it will have fewer issues. That’s the beauty of federation.
