Piefed was super slow it should be an image of a senior outrunning the kid with asthma.

Took more than 60sec to load images or video. Maybe the instance was at fault but my experience wasn't great so far.

That's the instance one way or another. Media needs to be accelerated via content delivery network on all platforms or you get speeds of the web in the 90's. You can get by pretty easily with a handful of users, but most instances get hamstrung pretty quickly if they don't offload the media to a caching service.

The instance that runs the piefed acct I frequent has database problems, I've only put a few dozen comments in there, and loading my profile takes almost a minute. Loading actual media there is fine through.

It kills me because the one thing I do is go back to things I've posted and look for more conversation on posts that people make on my posts.

Early lemmy ran into a lot of scale issues too until everyone started running CDN and moving their job runners and database off the webserver and in some cases run multiple servers with a load balancer.
