Hm, perhaps your instance needs to update to a newer version? I notice that it’s on 1.4.6, while Piefed.social is currently running version 1.5.3

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, 1.4.6 is only a couple weeks old! I was thinking of the gap in those releases in relation to Lemmy’s, where that would be a massive difference.

Is voyager updated to the latest release?

The difference in speed could be due to differing hardware specs of the servers, locations of the servers in relation to you, and the amount of user activity on each server.

I’m not sure if piefed.ca is hosted in the same location as lemmy.ca, or if their server specs are similar, but it probably has a better chance of being able to compare relative speed.

• Piefed.ca Community link
• Lemmy.ca Communiy link

On my end at least, they both seem about equally as fast, but perhaps it would be more noticeable on a slower internet speed.

Mbin went the route of making ensuring microblogs like mastodon were fully compatible, so it can offer both a Reddit-like experience like Lemmy and Piefed do, while also offering the ability to follow mastodon users and hashtags, and display mastodon content in a more micro-bloggy way.

The downside is few mobile apps support it.
