Dude it was set up less than three weeks ago by volunteers and is funded by donations. It is what it is. Even commercial websites can feel slow under load, that's just how the Internet works.

For a free service that's hosted by a non-profit, I really don't mind the site's mediocre performance. It's to be expected. Keep up the good work!

I've been on Beehaw and Lemmy.world for the past two weeks now and while people seem to be posting content that isn't about Reddit or Twitter or how great federated platforms are, such content does not receive as many comments/discussion as topics about the Reddit API controversy, or the current Twitter controversy, etc.

I prefer to sort by "new" when on the main page of either Beehaw or Lemmy.world. Most posts scarcely get a few upvotes and almost no comments. Without comments, I feel far less inclined to leave a comment unless there's a discussion already going on.

It feels like the gravity of discussion is still mostly centered on complaints and discussion about Reddit (or Big Tech in general), despite this platform being billed as a Reddit replacement. Hopefully that changes with time but there's a reason I haven't left Reddit yet.

Wow so much misinformed hostility against Beehaw here. The mod tools for Lemmy are currently limited and they just want to protect their community from trolls and spam. There's no conspiracy here to break federation.

Yes, it will survive. I still use it and will continue to use it because for me, Lemmy is not a fully replacement for many of the niche communities I follow.

Lemmy.world is a bit slow for me RN but given the immense growth on Lemmy, it's to be expected. I'm still on Reddit but hopefully I get to see more niche content here! I read /r/CredibleDefense and /r/CombatFootage, would be great if they were on Lemmy too.
