A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience?

[a_a@lemmy.world]

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

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

And yes, frustrating indeed...

I have repeatedly had this issue and clearing l.w cookies always seems to solve it. I don’t get what is going on.

No real issues with speed, it seems fine.
I do have a bit of downtime but nothing unreasonable, maybe 2-3 times a week I won’t be able to access it at all for maybe 10 min max but it’s not often enough to be a real problem and it could be something on my end.

Being unable to post from behind a VPN is annoying though, I don’t necessarily want my employer to know what I’m doing with my phone on the company Wi-Fi in my downtime.

I can't post comments for the last couple days.

[happyskullsplitter@lemmy.world]

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

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Interesting, so this is your first comment in a few days?

[dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world]

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.

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Very interesting. Are you in North America?

[droporain@lemmynsfw.com]

Yes . world users are slow af.

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Not sure what to qualify lemmynsfw users

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Thank your for chiming in. If you are located in the US, have you considered

• https://discuss.online/ for an instance that defederates lemmygrad and hexbear, similar to what Lemmy.world does
• https://lemmy.today/ for an instance that does not defederate anyone (their blocklist is literally empty)

[shifty@leminal.space]

From my lemmy.world account. I cant post comments from that account at all.

[aaaa@lemmy.world]

Zero issues, everything works exactly as I expect

Not to say no issues exist, but I have encountered none, and that is data

[drspod@lemmy.ml]

.ml has been loading slowly, and then the image thumbnails take even longer.

Is the whole network under a DDoS or something?

[teft@lemmy.world]

For me when I find .world slow I go clear my cache/site data for .world. For some reason .world stores GBs of data in cookies or site data and I find when it gets slow it's usually because the size has grown to above 1.5GB.

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Europe or North America?

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Hm, that's a lot

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Have you been banned? Do you see anything preventing you from commenting, or is it just slow?

[droporain@lemmynsfw.com]

At least I'm not a little bitch and I know what I like.
