        I like this idea and the Mastedon app seems much faster to post… that’s really my only wish list item from lemmy right now. I’m figuring that’s a temporary imbalance of increase activity and server bandwidth/speed? I understand we are decentralized but so is Mastodon and at least my instance is very smooth and fast.

          I can’t speak to Lemmy’s implementation (I refuse to go near lemmy on account of the maintainers “politics”), but there’s nothing fundamental about threading that should make posting slower.

          Loading threads here is… different… work than loading your feed in mastodon, it’s possibly slower, but posting is from a theoretical standpoint the same. Probably you’re just seeing the effect of your lemmy instance not running on sufficient hardware (very understandable given the explosion in user space size).

            Can you elaborate on the ‘politics’?

            I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded ‘hate speech’ filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

            Anything else I should know about ?

              The two main devs seem to be Tankies or have at least close views. From what I heard, the hardcoded filter isn’t a thing anymore and was removed after heavy protest from other contributors. The good thing is that they don’t have any control outside their own instance and in worst case people would simply copy the project (since it’s open source) and move on without them. I hope that the different instances + community take a part of the donations to pay independent full time code contributors.
