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.

This sounds more like you have a problem with your isp
