Are y'all working on performance improvements? Seems slow, but I have not measured it. I'd be happy to participate in some performance testing if we could incorporate some good measurements.
We made some benchmarks and some improvements but still not found the root cause 😔
@ivan thanks. Let me know if you want me to participate in any tests. That's probably the best I can do to help. Doubt if I can find a root cause...
@ivan as I mentioned, I want to try to deploy a Bonfire instant in my geographical neighborhood. When I do that, I will try to instrument it a bit to measure different interactions that seem slow to me and see if I can spot some low-hanging improvements. So far, the big slowdown seems to be whenever a bunch of posts are collected and presented, as in Activities, Posts, or Discussions.

Looks like the checkmark on the notifications is intended to signal that you have seen them, so they will not continue to show numbers of notifications in your bottom left column by your name. Also looks like I need to click the checkmark more than once to silence the notifications. I suspect that this is actually a consequence of slow response from the server, and so another performance issue. I think I have seen lags like that in other places....will keep a list until I get my own instance up and running so I can instrument some of these lags....
This is a bonfire instance for testing purposes. Federation is disabled for this instance.
