Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?
Firefox on Windows 10 on Ryzen 5 5600X. It does seem to run better in Chrome. It’s only noticeable when the page is loading.
Are you subscribed to a lot of communities and/or does it also happen when not logged in?
I suspect it might be related to loading a lot of community avatars which seem to not get properly cached in the browser or so.
I haven’t really had time to properly investigate, but I also noticed it being a bit sluggy.
Maybe you best option is to try an alternative frontend like Photon or Alexandrite.
The default Lemmy UI is pretty lightweight. Do you have extensions, especially Lemmy home instance redirection extensions?
I’ve definitely used one of those that made browsing lemmy incredibly slow as it was busy rewriting all the links.
Lemmy loads basically instantly on Firefox on my desktop, and same on my phone with Chrome.
Do you have an addpn which could do this? I use the same setup and dont have this Problem
