Workaround for the performance issue with posting in large communities (lemmy.world)

We're still working to find a solution for the posting slowness in large communities.

We have seen that a post does get submitted right away, but yet the page keeps 'spinning'

So right after you clicked 'Post' or 'Reply' you can refresh the page and the post should be there.

(But maybe to be sure you could copy the contents of your post first, so you can paste again if anything would go wrong..)

Well if all the Reddit users would get over to Lemmy I guess all servers would need to scale up... but I think the server we have now is powerfull enough to grow quite a lot, as long as the software gets tuned ..

Agreed. Exp Full stack Web dev here. This slowness is clearly a dev issue. The “it keeps spinning” is rarely a db issue or server issue IF the server has power and this one has. This smells to much like something is timing out . I also noticed that when I reply to someone who was logged in from kbin (or even mastodon) it just never ever submits.

I’m not that familiar with federation itself. But I do know my way around the web. I too hope that they fix this asap. It could even be something like a non sorted query. Or just an endless/to long loop. These are the most typical bugs that happen when there is more data.

Anyway just my 2 cents. Like I said I’m not that familiar with the Lemmy code.
