Workaround for the performance issue with posting in large communities (lemmy.world)

We're still working to find a solution for the posting slowness in large communities.

We have seen that a post does get submitted right away, but yet the page keeps 'spinning'

So right after you clicked 'Post' or 'Reply' you can refresh the page and the post should be there.

(But maybe to be sure you could copy the contents of your post first, so you can paste again if anything would go wrong..)

I assume that there is something that is O(N), which explains why wait time scales with community size (amount of posts, comments)

    Oh, Big-O notation? I never thought I’d see someone else mention big O notation out in the wild!

    :high-five:

    you are going to meet a lot of OG redditors in the next few weeks. Old reddit had Big O in every post, even posts with cute animals.

    That’s pretty neat! I’ve honestly never seen it mentioned on Reddit before, so got a bit excited to see someone mention it here, admittedly maybe too excited.

    there was a time, before the digg invasion, where someone would post a picture of a woman feeding 30 cats and there would be Big O jokes about how well this would work and crazy modifications to the situation to improve it. This would be almost every thread at one point on the site. I miss it.
