I decided to try Lemmy(vlemmy specifically) a moment ago.
WOW! It was incredibly responsive. What the heck? That was so weird, there was no delay in clicking.
I didn't even realize this was a thing until it was so fast that I came here to talk about it.
Not going to speculate, just impressed.
- 0xDEF 3y agoLemmy's backend is written in Rust using Actix Web and Diesel. https://actix.rs/ https://actix.rs/ https://diesel.rs/ https://diesel.rs/ Lemmy's frontend uses the React-like InfernoJS library that claims to be faster than React however I really doubt it's frontend rendering that is the bottleneck here.

- the8472 3y agoThe frontend reacts to a click quite fast but there's still a spinner for a lot of actions. The API goes over a websocket, request-response delay seems to be about 300-400ms for me so it's not super snappy, but not jira hell either.
