Maybe Guides / Information could be shown on the lemmy web frontend by default to lower the entry barrier?
You can also try installing the PWA (if your browser supports it). On https://sh.itjust.works, Somewhere on the browsers web page options, there should be something along “Install” or “Add to home screen”. PWA is basically the website but without browser controls, so it feels more native.
Good to see Lemmy grow, but I hope that the decentralization will work out so that the large influx of new users will spread out as evenly as possible. General purpose instances help balancing the load, and last time I checked join-lemmy.org there have been several general purpose instances, which seems promising.
Just looked. First 1/2 loads were slow but after that it’s lighting fast! I think by not everyone establishing a Websocket connection and just loading once performance should increase a tad bit.
I assume that there is something that is O(N), which explains why wait time scales with community size (amount of posts, comments)
What do you mean with “birds part”? Learned from YouTube Videos, Arch Wiki, and experimenting on bare metal and in Virtualbox. Hardest part for me when installing Arch 1st time was partitioning and bootloaders
