And it’s really slow.
Lemmy itself isn’t slow, but many instance admins are struggling with performance scale due to the huge user growth. It’ll settle out, just bear with ‘em.
It’s a hug of death right now with all the new users pouring in. Give it some time to settle and for admins to scale up the infrastructure.
