same for me, I'm using the self-hosted client and sometimes I expect slowdowns and I've to refresh the page, but overall, since it's a decentralized system, we can't (at least now) expect responsiveness like twitter

Was it ever not slow? I had to stop using it.

I had to uninstall it from Umbrel. It was unusable at so many levels. DMs dont work, post likes neither, feed wall wouldnt load.... the last version update didnt improve it.

It's had issues in the past, but those were fixed. Ever since the gossip update came out though, I can't use Snort. Things don't load and I get tons of lag when I type. Primal is a good alternative, but I am so used to using Snort.
