Lemmy/instance performance problems? (midwest.social)

Has anyone else been experiencing performance problems for the last few weeks? About half my requests time out when using Jerboa. The site on desktop is a little better but Lemmy still performs pretty poorly compared to how it has in the past.

Is this an instance issue or an issue with Lemmy itself?

I've noticed this, though I use Boost. I thought it was just my instance since I would consistently get 502 errors, but things have been loading very slowly on other instances too.

The instances are not guaranteed to run on good hardware and the nature of defederation means you are at the mercy of the weakest link in many scenarios. It is the nature of the beast.
