TechSpot / Hardware Unboxed did some tests (on Windows, where DirectStorage is available so this will alter some of the results compared to your own context) on this recently: https://www.techspot.com/article/3023-ssd-gaming-comparison-load-times/ (video form: YouTube)

In their results (which again may not map 1:1 to your own environment given OS differences etc), there was some difference when moving from a SATA SSD to a “slow” (by current standards) PCIe gen 3 NVMe SSD, but pretty negligible difference beyond that within gaming contexts when moving from that to other, newer/faster NVMe SSDs.

If I were to hazard a guess for your specific setup (assuming you’re currently loading mostly from a SATA SSD), it sounds like you might eke out a small loading speed improvement with either a RAID0 (or similar) SATA SSD setup or by moving to an NVMe drive, but the gains are probably only going to be generally meaningful if you’re able to somehow use DirectStorage (or a “Linux’d” version of it) somehow. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was the only game within the tested samples that saw meaningful improvements without using DirectStorage when moving to something faster than a single SATA SSD.

Somehow this phrase triggered a memory of this short comedy sketch: https://youtu.be/LButXcZ57pc

Tbh I thought it was a bunch of non-lemmy platforms (e.g., mbin which fedia.io runs - anecdotally it usually happens due to some types of edits not federating well), but if someone from infosec.pub (which runs lemmy) also had the problem then I’m actually not sure what the common factor is lol

edit: the common factor might just be instances that have blocked lemmy.ml, which currently includes fedia.io (my instance) and infosec.pub (the other commenter’s instance), though I’m surprised links to lemmy.ml’s hosted images are included in the block

Yes! It still maintains some features not in mainline Mastodon, which I guess is why infosec.exchange runs it

Searching for the phrase, documentation matches for Taiga so maybe you’re right!

Bummer. It’d be cool if there was customization available on how exactly the sorting parameters work. I imagine, for example, if the weighting for a user’s own sorting could be adjusted at their end, you could get Scaled (or something like it) to get you what you’re after. Probably a pretty niche thing compared to just making sure most users are happy with the sorting most of the time though.

Have you tried “Scaled” sorting? It was added to lemmy a couple (?) months ago and tries to solve the problem you’ve described of big communities drowning out the smaller ones in a subscription feed.

It isn’t new, and framing it as though it were seems rather disingenuous.
