Instance Performance (self.general)

How is the instance performance for everyone? Just wanted to ask so there is no weird things going on.

If you notice images are loading slowish, it's because of how Lemmy software works. Images are stored on the instance where they were created, so if they were created on Lemmy.world and they are slow, you may see them loading slower here as well.

But the text content should be really fast since it's local on the instance.

There are people joining every day but we are still small, and if there is a need for more performance, I will upgrade the instance. Right now it looks like things are humming along fine.

Hey folks! I am really enjoying this instance and I appreciate that it's not blocking others. It seems to be regularly updated, uptime seems great, and the locals seem friendly.

I noticed some weird things going on with comments in remote communities though. Not all the comments populate when browsing a remote community through our instance. That is to say, not all the comments propagate to our instance. For example, if we want to browse the [!earthporn@lemmy.ml](/c/earthporn@lemmy.ml) community through our instance, we can click here https://lemmy.today/c/earthporn@lemmy.ml. If we were to look at the bottom of the community sidebar, or count the comments in the various posts, we would find six comments. Though, if we browse the remote community directly through its instance, https://lemmy.ml/c/earthporn, we would find 123 comments. Here are some others I found:

Community	Local Comments	Remote Comments
`[!lemmytools@thesimplecorner.org](/c/lemmytools@thesimplecorner.org)`	0	32
`[!openwrt@lemdro.id](/c/openwrt@lemdro.id)`	2	16
`[!security@lemmy.ml](/c/security@lemmy.ml)`	0	532
`[!til@lemmy.ca](/c/til@lemmy.ca)`	85	627

This issue doesn't seem to be isolated to our instance though. I did some searching (to see if I was doing something wrong with Lemmy) and found others mentioning seemingly similar issues:

Can anybody else confirm this? And was anyone else here aware of this?

I'm not sure if this is something that affects all instances and/or communities, or only instances with certain settings or software versions.

This is a really good and detailed post. I didn't see it when you posted but let me go through this... Seems really interesting and could be a huge Lemmy bug.
