POV: you have to post everything 3 times because of lag (but you care about the growth of the lemmy community)

You do know that sometimes a post does get posted when you click post once, even if it might seem to be spinning for a while?

You do know that sometimes a comment does get posted when you click reply once, even if it might seem to be spinning for a while?

If you want to reduce lag, join an instance other than lemmy.world. its a fine instance, but probably over loaded. You can see and interact with pretty much all Lemmy content from any instance. I think kbin will be better, but needs an app.

I second this. Don't be afraid to have other accounts. I made one on a smaller instance and I pretty much always get instant responses. It's supposed to be good for the network not to be too centralized in big instances.

I even linked my other accounts from my main so it's easy for a reader to quickly figure out who and what is all supposed to be me.

Or is it, in fact, ironic? I've always been a bit fuzzy on the definition.

Actually, you don't. It errors out, but refresh the community's page, the post is there.

Disappointed that there aren’t three of this meme posted by you

Try smaller instances guys.

It works wonders on the bandwidth.

Wait, how does my home instance influence the loading speed of content from a different instance? Oh and also, do you know if comments I make are stored on my home instance or on the one I make them on?

lemmy world has like 85k ppl, lemmy ml has like 50k ppl, this means that there's potentially tens of thousands of people browsing at the same time making requests to the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world servers, or whichever home server their instance is hosted on. If the server is not big enough to stand it, it becomes slow while it processes the bulk of the requests. Smaller instances have fewer people, which means that there's fewer active people and servers have an easier job when they must process the requests of all of their users.
