Okay, today it is indeed slow

Export your user data, find a different instance, and hop over there.

It's practically effortless to change instances these days.

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list , sort by active users

Any instance of the top 15 is fine, be aware of .ml and lemmygrad political stances, and that Beehaw runs a very old version of Lemmy

Any instance of the top 16 is fine

FTFY.

To be fair, the top 30 or 40 are pretty solid.

Yes, but don't go to Jlailu if you don't speak French

And Feddit.org if you're not German, unless you don't mind reading German me_irl content

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Or [email protected] being mostly in German

Don't get me wrong, it's great to have a German speaking instance, but it may not be for everyone

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

And you can keep your old account!

Or you could have an account on literally every instance, like blaze.

What would change practically if I switched instances, like how would my day to day be different? I honestly do not know much about the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

The list of blocked instances might changed (check [myinstancena.me]/instances) and blocked users. Not every instances shows downvote. This make the all feed slighty different.
Your local feed will change a lot. In there you only see your instances community slrpnk.net is slorpunk oriented, feddit.it is italian speaking community and so on. Your subscription feed will remain the same.
The list of possible interface will be different. That's on web browser but I don't know it affect application users.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Just switch instances, folks. I like .ee; there's lots of other good ones, too

Where are you located? Seems normal here in Europe

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm in Europe too. Is not unusable, just a bit slow to charge the pages.

Try deleting all stored browser data for lemmy.world and then log in again.

Lemmy.world is on an old version that still has a bug that makes it accumulate excessive amounts of brower storage and that slows down your browser.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh, that's what people have been mentioning in the last Lemmy dev announcement

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Its only really noticable on older accounts. When I deleted it it was like 3GB of data. But I think OPs 2 year old account might be affected.

But it is not a fix all solution.

Discuss.Online is really fast for people in the USA. Being in Europe, you might check out sopuli.xyz?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

If there only was a solution to that in this decentral and federated platform...
