Is lemmy slow for anyone else?
-
I just experienced issues with Lemmy being slow, then I restarted my phone and it seems to be working as expected now.
-
Addendum post:
I'm still experiencing occasional sporadic lag from lemmy.world, even after restarting my phone.

No. It has nothing to do with the software. Your instance is the problem. I guess this is your chance to switch to another instance.
-
Lemmy is decentralized, there is no singular Lemmy as a whole unless you're talking specifically about the server software. As a user you interact with your home instance, in your case lemmy.world.
Most connectivity problems and slowdowns are instance-specific unless you're talking about a federation problem specifically, for example you posted but it doesn't show up on other instances, that's a problem between your instance and the community's instance.
In your case you most likely just hit something on lemmy.world's side. Lemmy as a whole is way too small for them to even care about it.

You are on the biggest instance using software that passes your comment to every other instance that is federated with yours. I'm surprised it doesn't take longer than that most of the time.

Wow, you weren't lying about them "running a very old Lemmy version." For anyone else curious, on github, the newest version is 0.19.8, released 2024-12-13. lemmy.world is on 0.19.3 released 2024-01-22.

I rarely see any performance issues. Maybe once a month or so the main page won’t load for a couple hours.
I comment and browse a lot, but not obsessively so. I can’t say I’ve ever had an issue with performance with .world

They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.
Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it's still been 6+ months since the last update.

I use Summit as well, it's great. It's not FOSS however.

or both.

I still wonder how they do security. With every other internet facing service, you're told to do updates as fast as possible. Or you're going to be vulnerable against all sorts of attacks. And either Lemmy has far fewer bugs than other software, or someone must be backporting the patches. Or it's just vulnerable. But yeah, I've been around that time where there were some database issues. And the one or two times federation broke altogether, and people didn't notice right away, so lots of instances had applied the broken update...

To be fair, the federation happens in the background after the posting is done. So just posting alone only depends on the capabilities of the instance you're on.

[Solved] Is Lemmy.world getting slow or is just my connection? [Update] Is better now - Lemmy.World
[Update] Was just a pick [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/32094371-22c7-4fc3-94de-80d89d67ee82.jpeg] https://www.lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world [https://www.lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world]
(lemmy.world)

Lemmy is cheap compared to Mastodon though. You can probably fit a multi-user instance on the free tier of any hosting provider, provided you sweep media

Building apps is hard. I figured out we could instead steal the work Reddit has done and have been working on turning the official Reddit app into a Lemmy client. I know many of you don't like it but hey, this might be a selling point during the next exodus
