Hey folks!

I have deployed an unreleased Lemmy optimization on lemm.ee which significantly speeds up the query for loading posts.

So far, all seems good, but if you notice any issues with any of the post feeds, please let me know!


For more context:

Over the past few days, I have noticed a serious degradation for front page load times for some users. I have been trying different optimizations without much success, until I found an idea by @phiresky@lemmy.world to make a relatively small change to the database query for loading posts.

I implemented this idea and made a PR to Lemmy, you can check my PR here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3653. Initial results seem amazing, my personal subscribed feed now loads extremely quickly, and I'm seeing from monitoring that load times should be improved for other lemm.ee users as well!

An excellent improvement so far! Gonna keep an eye out for any oddities, but none yet. Major props sunaurus and phiresky!
