Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?

Firefox on Windows 10 on Ryzen 5 5600X. It does seem to run better in Chrome. It’s only noticeable when the page is loading.

    Are you subscribed to a lot of communities and/or does it also happen when not logged in?

    I suspect it might be related to loading a lot of community avatars which seem to not get properly cached in the browser or so.

    I haven’t really had time to properly investigate, but I also noticed it being a bit sluggy.

    Maybe you best option is to try an alternative frontend like Photon or Alexandrite.
