Just have to say: Has anyone notice that Beehaw is just way faster then Reddit? Sorry new here, just my first impression. By the way. Thanks everyone for this site.

From join-lemmy.org:

Blazing Fast

Made using some of the fastest frameworks and tools, including Rust, Actix, Diesel, Inferno, and Typescript.

Maybe because I'm using Jerboa, but it feels slower to me. Jerboa has many issues though

Have you updated recently? A jerboa update came out earlier today and it seems to run better now for me.

Yes, I am on the web UI.. Have not tried the app yet.

Indeed! I guess it's (at least partly) because there's not as much stuff going on that the user can see (and sometimes can't see).

It really is faster, I noticed that too.

Yes, when I first got on mid-day it way crazy fast. It has slowed down a bit for me as the day has gone on but still faster then typical Reddit speeds. I wonder if beehaw load is more late afternoon and evening, or if it is just more people flocking in, or maybe both.

Probably has to do with time of day, but it's more snappy anyway. Smaller platform I guess, but it's pretty nice
