Dude it was set up less than three weeks ago by volunteers and is funded by donations. It is what it is. Even commercial websites can feel slow under load, that’s just how the Internet works.

Time will tell. Lemmy needs more users and more content. Feels like Reddit from the late 2000s right now. The demographic is mostly male/tech-literate and the only threads that get responses are tech and gaming subjects.
Some of the local subs I read have presences on Lemmy but no content. Most normies are still using Reddit.
I still use Reddit. Lemmy still doesn’t have a lot of the communities I know and love on Reddit.
Never used Twitter.

Just go back to the Internet forums of old - many major forums back in the day were ran as small businesses with subscriptions and advertising. I hope the fediverse does allow a commercial model - we need diversity in how to fund such infrastructure. If some instance owners want to institute subscriptions or include advertising on their instances, that should be a feature that the Lemmy developers should seriously consider. Otherwise, it’s hard to scale a service like this on donations alone.
Most people default to the main server. It’s easier that way. A major weakness of Lemmy is how if I use the main URL of another instance, it will say I’m not logged in, and I have to cut and paste a parameter and paste it onto the end of Lemmy.world to gain access. It’s kind of annoying so since most of the main action is on Lemmy.world, I prefer to make an account here and stay within this instance as much as I can.
