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 !asklemmy@lemmy.world . 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.

[meta] Quite surprising and irritating that the same post you made in !asklemmy was deleted ! Did you manage to save the resulting comments ?

I have them on my version of the post, but it's a bit cumbersome to copy paste them here.

And yes, frustrating indeed...
