Is lemmy slow for anyone else?
-
Usually when I post a comment the spinny wheel takes 1-3 seconds. Today it's taking 45-90 seconds. So I reset my phone, thinking it's just me, but no.
Anyone else having this issue, or is Verizon throttling Lemmy for me?

A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience? - Divisions by zero
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. https://lemmy.world/comment/14645438 [https://lemmy.world/comment/14645438] Additional example > It also doesn’t help that it’s slow as fuck on desktop compared to the others I tried. > Is lemm.ee [http://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. https://lemm.ee/post/53056454/17657107 [https://lemm.ee/post/53056454/17657107] 3rd comment below > So slow unfortunately https://lemmy.world/comment/14661546 [https://lemmy.world/comment/14661546] > 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. https://lemmy.world/comment/14676091 [https://lemmy.world/comment/14676091] > Images have been fine for me, I’ve given up on videos https://lemmy.world/comment/14676052 [https://lemmy.world/comment/14676052] Note: if this post seems familiar, it’s because it was originally posted on !asklemmy@lemmy.world [/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world] [https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy] . 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.

Maybe it's because almost everyone uses one single instance (lemmy.world) which is additionally running a very old Lemmy version. Idk.

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.

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 10+ months since the last update.
I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better.
Actual FOSS,huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It's a champion.Here's hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.

I use Summit as well, it's great. It's not FOSS however.
edit from future me
Summit has become FOSS
