A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience?
A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience?
Most recent examples, seems like Americans users are mostly impacted.
the site (or at least lemmy.world) is sooo slooow. Basic functions like loading images take me back to the dial-up era of “click the image then do something else while it loads,” which is downright ridiculous in the 2020s. Again I’ve stuck with it because I want to support the fediverse, but 99% of users won’t.

Additional example
It also doesn’t help that it’s slow as fuck on desktop compared to the others I tried.
Is lemm.ee much faster than lemmy.world for you?
Yes, MUCH. Sh.itjust.works is much faster as well. I don’t know if it’s because LW is still on 0.19.3 or what, but it’s a very significant difference.

So slow unfortunately

Well, it took me 2 page load attempts and 60 solid seconds to get as far as being able to leave this comment, so… Yeah, sometimes it is slow as dirt.

Images have been fine for me, I’ve given up on videos

Note: if this post seems familiar, it's because it was originally posted on [email protected] . It has since then been removed as a "support question". Not sure why asking people if they've been impacted about the instance that hosts 30% of the whole Lemmy userbase is a support question, but I'll revisit that tomorrow.
You're viewing a single thread.
I can't post comments for the last couple days.
Edit: looks like it was related to VPN use and some flagging of my session/connection, maybe cloudflare on lemmy.world
Interesting, so this is your first comment in a few days?
From my lemmy.world account. I cant post comments from that account at all.

Have you been banned? Do you see anything preventing you from commenting, or is it just slow?
When I click to post the comment, I get a loading circle gif that just spins forever. Tried waiting it out for a few minutes but nothing happens.
And to my knowledge lemmy doesnt do shadow bans so I would at keast know if I had been banned there.
Edit: previously I cleared cache, tried different browsers and devices, logged out and in again, nothing worked. I also just tested and I can't create posts from lemmy.world account either.
Edit2: looks like it was related to VPN use and some flagging of my session/connection, maybe cloudflare on lemmy.world
That could indeed be the VPN use.
You could maybe consider
- https://discuss.online/ for an instance based in the USA that defederates lemmygrad and hexbear, similar to what Lemmy.world does
- https://sopuli.xyz/ for an instance based in Europe that also defederates lemmygrad and hexbear
- https://lemmy.today/ for an instance based in the USA that does not defederate anyone (their blocklist is literally empty)
- https://lemm.ee/ for an instance based in Europe that has a very short defederation list (like 4 entries: https://lemm.ee/instances)
