I have pushed forth the latest and greatest Lemmy upgrade as it come with some mind-blowing speed improvements, thanks to the DB query tweaking of @phiresky@lemmy.world
Just check how the load for lemmy.world decreased!
As a result, this instance should feel significantly snappier now. Let me know!
Ye, I expect these things to be improved in the next few weeks. I find using the "Top" options more useful myself
The last few days I was mainly using "Top Six Hours" sorting because "Hot" sorting was so broken. But I'm more inclined to post on "Hot" threads because they don't have as many comments yet and my comments don't feel so drowned out.
Top 1 Hour is pretty good at finding relatively new, but not swamped posts imho
