"The server my [Friendica] instance is on is quite slow, often leaving me with a spinning wheel whenever I want to follow a new account. I’m not talking about a 2 second lag - more like 20 seconds at times, or even more."

This has consistently been my experience with testing #Friendica. The feature set is amazing, but the performance of the aging GLAMP stack and the UX of the 'squeeze it wherever it fits' interface leave a lot to be desired. A shame.

It would be a serious project to learn how to use all the features, while wrestling with the sluggish and confusing interface.
