Funnily enough, this is the feature that can speed up the performance by doing less calls:
The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.
Is it me or is the 80% figure just insane?
Not really, you'd be surprised how often systems are bloated all because of a single option, character, etc. Most developers don't start optimizing until much later in the software's lifecycle. Often enough, it is easily overlooked. That's why code reviews are needed often with fresh pair of eyes.
Just to set the expectations, reducing database size or CPU usage does not necessarily mean it is faster but it does mean there's more free capacity on the servers to handle more users at the same performance.
More importantly; they may help reduce costs on the smaller indie instances that doesn't need to buy larger server instances.
Hopefully, we'll continue to see more of these optimizations.
Wow, thank you. I acutally was hoping you were going to add this becasue Alexandrite is the best desktop UI for Lemmy so far.
It also means Lemmy.world is turning into the best instance already because they're the most user-friendly and customizable one.
Great work!
FYI: I got rated limited on the first link but the second time worked right away. There might be some glitch there.
Bean doesn’t seem to recognize the ! links.

I’d pay for a subscription if it means you can continue to work on the apps full time.
Although, I’m curious as to how it’d work with android app in the mix. Would mean an external service if you’d want to include on universal sub plan.
Can the app retain the sort and read options per community and the home view?
For an example, my home view would be set to hot and unread but for Bean community, new and all posts is my preference since unread would hide the megatread post.
Also, I don’t think pinned should be removed when filtering unread posts.
Thanks!
Read the “How It Unfolds” short story by James S. A. Corey, it is identical to your ideas.
Yep, it's on us to help move the content and people over to Lemmy. People and search engine will continue to default to Reddit. Eventually so much content will be on Lemmy/Kbin that reddit becomes a thing of the past, hopefully.
What distro are you using, what is the rest of the system's spec.
CPU isn't enough to tell us anything.
