    If you want to reduce lag, join an instance other than lemmy.world. its a fine instance, but probably over loaded. You can see and interact with pretty much all Lemmy content from any instance. I think kbin will be better, but needs an app.

      I second this. Don’t be afraid to have other accounts. I made one on a smaller instance and I pretty much always get instant responses. It’s supposed to be good for the network not to be too centralized in big instances.

      I even linked my other accounts from my main so it’s easy for a reader to quickly figure out who and what is all supposed to be me.

      I’m on SDF, they have their issues too. Honestly, I find the issues charming as hell. Things like this happen on Reddit all the time, even today, but they don’t have an excuse of trying to make the world a better place, they just didn’t want to pay people and don’t really give a fuck about anything besides money.

      You do know that sometimes a comment does get posted when you click reply once, even if it might seem to be spinning for a while?

    Not only do I have to post 3 times, I have to double and triple check my post didn’t actually go through the last time. Duplicate post would paint us in a very uncivilized light.

      Wait, how does my home instance influence the loading speed of content from a different instance? Oh and also, do you know if comments I make are stored on my home instance or on the one I make them on?

        how does my home instance influence the loading speed of content from a different instance

        lemmy world has like 85k ppl, lemmy ml has like 50k ppl, this means that there’s potentially tens of thousands of people browsing at the same time making requests to the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world servers, or whichever home server their instance is hosted on. If the server is not big enough to stand it, it becomes slow while it processes the bulk of the requests. Smaller instances have fewer people, which means that there’s fewer active people and servers have an easier job when they must process the requests of all of their users.

    My internet is several piles of hot garbage and I can never tell if it’s Lemmy having issues or if my net is just not capable of loading g something right now.

  • suggestion: go to a smaller instance, you will not have lag :) the reason why lemmy world has a lot of lag is because it has almost 100k ppl, i see all the same content as you do and my instance has like 4k.
