Something to consider... Lemmy runs fast with no data in it. Latency issue is tied to how much data they have stored in PostgreSQL. If they aren't holding full copies of all the remote communities, sure it is faster, but your searches and All aren't going to turn up much.
Related to this. I also think lemmy-ui should establish a URL convention for sorting. When you are viewing posts, the sort parameter is on the URL and you can link to a specific sort. But not for reading of comments on a post.
I ran across someone mentioning that comments are being duplicated: https://lemmy.world/comment/1887992
Again, I haven't checked the API, not sure if this is backend data problem or lemmy-ui

Maybe show some screenshots of what you see. Most clients show you the community the post is from.
It's like religion people who believe the Earth is only 6000 years old or something. They know about Darwin's Theory of Evolution.... but I'm like, dude, that's done by walking around and measuring plants, animals, insects. We have microscopes and DNA now. We know the DNA difference between two kinds of birds. We know how a single cell from female and male come together and follow DNA patterns to create the whole animal, even humans! They just won't accept that DNA was after Darwin's time and proved he was right!
Cut down all the trees and put roads and buildings everywhere since year 1800. Start burning whale oil and then petrol oil as fast as you can. Make everything powered by oil. it's burning, like burning wood at a campfire. Do you see the smoke and gas? Do you think a car is not burning petrol? A power plant isn't burning petrol? Fire! It burns carbon products, wood, uses oxygen. It makes carbon dioxide. "A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year."
Here, can't we take something like a fish tank and put a burning candle in it, and show you the smoke and gas it creates.
Oh, they are dumping pollution into the river and you think the town downstream isn't getting poisoned? Who is the town upstream from where you live.
But the advertising and marketing of the oil companies 'inform them'. You can't convince them how fire works, making smoke and gas. And start counting up how many fires you see driving around on the roads of the world, and how many power plants are burning petrol, etc.
Advertising and marketing can convince them of anything, the stuff they believe just because snazzy presentation.
we could all just vote for people that aren’t corrupt
Audiences who flock to liars and deceivers seems to be trending in bad direction. Business leaders, politicians. What Cambridge Analytica unleashed as mass psychology tactics in 2014 may be very difficult to undo.
corrupt… or at least, yet!
Things like term limits seemed to help stop some of the problems of people corrupting once they got into positions of power. But now it seems crowds of more and more people are choosing pre-corrupted, cheering on corruption.
There are always underlying assumptions made by people who support industrial-age work for every human being. Things like... 9 to 5 work schedule (or longer) being compatible with their genetics, year round - winter or summer. Paperwork appreciation, having to fill out job applications often with high amounts of redundancy in the questions and formats. Red tape for getting paychecks and accounting. Dress codes and even uniform requirements. Businessmen preferences for rectangle and high-rise buildings that few other animals from Earth seem to construct or use to build loyal followers.
With generic randomness alone, I suspect that 20%+ of a population on Pale Blue Dot never fit in with what their local society considers perfectly "normal" conformity and biological needs in industrialized world.
I now see that the stated intent is to retain anonymized comments as Reddit does
You cite a conversation from November 4, 2022.
A Febuary 6, 2023 comment from developers https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2624#issuecomment-1419559651 says "The correct way privacy-wise, is to delete your account through your profile settings, which overwrites all your content to remove any info."
The intention is to routinely purge all content of users who delete their account. In fact, there are open GitHub issues about serious performance problems in executing this code, even with a relatively small amount of content. Developers in the past 2 days have commented on this and made no mention of intention to retain content.
Agreed, and the emphasis on the Lemmy GitHub page that it has "full delete" doesn't have any kind of disclaimer about this. Newcomers to the project just don't realize it.
And you are adding to the overload of lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, etc who have all the popular content communities. Federation has a lot of overhead, as does having to distribute a community one vote at a time to 500 subscribed servers.
