Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

    A lemmy instance that takes less than 5 minutes to load the thumbnails would be a good start …

      What is this in response to? The instance I’m on is reasonably quick. A delay of maybe 1s to 2s (at most) when loading new content, and often less.

        I have made accounts on lemm.ee lemmy.world and feddit.de trying to find an instance that is not slow af. However, none of those instances loads thumbnails with satisfactory speed. In comparison, reddit thumbnails always loaded almost instantly for me. Scrolling lemmy simply is not fun when it takes several minutes to load the content every time I go to the next page

          Lemmy.world, while inconsistent and experiencing what looks like nightly DDoS attacks, is currently pretty snappy. Worst I’ve seen today is one page load took a few extra seconds to load the thumbnails but by the time I noticed, they were loaded by the time I had finished the thought about them loading slowly. It’s improved since early July.

          I guess keep trying other instances? I don’t have that experience. I hope you find an instance that works better for you.
