Speed up Lemmy?

Lemmy seems to be incredibly slow, 2+ second delay in any action through lemmy.world even after restarting the browser. it wasnt like this the other day but now its basically unusable. Any suggestions?

Its the teething pains of the network growing, servers talking to each other, catching up on posts, comments, votes, etc.

A lot of improvement will have to come from lemmy itself getting updates that make it run more efficiently.

Is it any better now?

Nope, still happening :( although it appears now to only be occurring on the main page/feed. in this thread I dont see the same issues

I would guess this is not a Lemmy problem. Probably some of the instances are a bit overloaded at the moment. Here on dbzer0 I don't experiece any of that.

Yes, I think they are a bit overloaded. Federation is also a bit of a hit and miss. Federating in is fine, getting stuff out is delayed a bit.

Sounds like it's on the server end. I wouldn't be surprised if they were doing some maintenance in the background. You may just have to be patient.

Same here. Just started today.

It is using a lot of memory in Firefox.

edit - There was an update for FF available. It seems to have resolved the issue.
edit2 - not resolved. Issue occurs when home page is loaded. CPU and memory usage increase. Memory continues to increase until FF hangs. If I switch page to a community CPU returns to normal and memory slowly goes back to normal.

Try hosting your own instance. I think Lemmy.world is getting overloaded

I would try clear your cache.

Use a smaller instance. 😅 One that's local to you ideally.
