Known issues
- Post / Reply takes up to 20 seconds. This mainly happens in larger communities. We’re troubleshooting this. Anyone wanting to help troubleshoot, please DM @ruud@lemmy.world . Big plus if you can read the Lemmy source code so we know what it actually does.

This seems like a really big problem to me. I tried searching lemmy for it, but have not found anything conclusive.
I found a post or two claiming that the issue is that the API is implemented using websockets only, so it’s not as simple as just turning it off. I really hope that is not the case, since I currently can’t read anything on the frontpage that takes more than a few seconds!
