IIRC, the Lemmy.world administrators had a big post that basically said: "Woops, we were still in debug-mode when we launched".

When they changed the settings to production-mode sometime this weekend (thereby generating far fewer logs on the server's backend), the response speed of the website went into high-speed.

It wasn't just logs. Turning debug off let a lot of the federation functions work in the background instead of causing a long pause every time someone posted, voted, etc.

If true that's hilarious.

Was wondering why the site had been performing unusually well today. Part of me was worried that everybody got fed up of the lag, abandoned ship and went back to Reddit.
