The database stuff was solved today. The bigger job, happening as we speak and hopefully finishing in a week or two, is ripping out all the WebSocket stuff and replacing it with simple HTTP. No more crazy updating feeds and weird buggy vote numbers, on top of the performance stuff.
The lemmy_server code is not scaling well, lots of database contention.
Supposedly they are working on major performance improvements for the next release. No idea when it is scheduled to come out though.
