Noticed I was logged out of lemmy.ml this morning. When I logged in, everything looked the same, but... "All" loaded instantly. Switching to "Subscribed" was just as fast. Post thumbnails came up as quickly as I could scroll.

I don't know if it's the new software or if y'all cleared out some cruft when restarting the services, but from this end-user's perspective, Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.8 flies. Nicely done!

I installed it just because of this post and

Wow you weren’t kidding

Thats interesting because for me it feels just like before with Firefox. Also the yellow background for new comments is way too much.

The yellow is a bit much but I appreciate the idea. A scaled back color or design would be nice.

I feel like I’ve kinda seen it. But also IME, I think every refresh from an update feels snappy, so I’d presume there’s something to the restart that clears some cruft (without knowing any details).

Got to my alt to try it, so nice!

BTW I found that the new Scaled ranking only shows posts with about 5 upvotes. Not sure why it is not finding more popular posts.
