My Mastodon instance has become almost unresponsive for me. It's been this way the past week or so. Refreshing the browser works for about 10 minutes and then right back to waiting forever for it to respond to anything that I do. GoToSocial is a bit limited compared to Mastodon, I know, but I never experienced these issues when I was part of a GoToSocial instance. Is Mastodon just more "bloated"?
