A few Lemmy.world users have been complaining that the website is slow for them, what is your experience?
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.
Additional example
It also doesn’t help that it’s slow as fuck on desktop compared to the others I tried.Is 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.

So slow unfortunately
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.
Images have been fine for me, I’ve given up on videos
Note: if this post seems familiar, it's because it was originally posted on !asklemmy@lemmy.world . 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.

And yes, frustrating indeed...

Edit: looks like it was related to VPN use and some flagging of my session/connection, maybe cloudflare on lemmy.world

in reply to Blaze (he/him) • • •When I click to post the comment, I get a loading circle gif that just spins forever. Tried waiting it out for a few minutes but nothing happens.
And to my knowledge lemmy doesnt do shadow bans so I would at keast know if I had been banned there.
Edit: previously I cleared cache, tried different browsers and devices, logged out and in again, nothing worked. I also just tested and I can't create posts from lemmy.world account either.

in reply to Shifty Eyes • • •That could indeed be the VPN use.
You could maybe consider
- discuss.online/ for an instance based in the USA that defederates lemmygrad and hexbear, similar to what Lemmy.world does
- sopuli.xyz/ for an instance based in Europe that also defederates lemmygrad and hexbear
- lemmy.today/ for an instance based in the USA that does not defederate anyone (their blocklist is literally empty)
- lemm.ee/ for an instance based in Europe that has a very short defederation list (like 4 entries: lemm.ee/instances)

in reply to Blaze (he/him) • • •It's ok, it's really not putting me off of my Lemmy experience.
After being on reddit for over 10 years, in the grand scheme of things video only recently became functional before the entire site became unusable
I'm here for the long haul with the understanding that things will inevitably get better over time
I'm using Sync, so I cannot rule out that these problems originate there

Is the whole network under a DDoS or something?

in reply to teft • • •This is a problem with all instances and has been only recently mitigated against. I deleted 2.7gb site cache for our instance.
Once LW finally upgrades they definitly need to inform their longer time users to wipe the site cache in their browsers.

in reply to Blaze (he/him) • • •NA here. It's loading perfectly fine for me right now on the desktop site. Pages I've never opened before are loading in like 1/10th of a second for me.
I'm also not signed in from this computer, though (can't remember my LW password and haven't bothered to check). Not sure if that's making any difference, but figured I'd provide my perspective from a logged-out user.

Its seems to have gotten better since 2 or 3 days ago.
