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…)
Well if all the Reddit users would get over to Lemmy I guess all servers would need to scale up… but I think the server we have now is powerfull enough to grow quite a lot, as long as the software gets tuned …
