Which is more ram efficient Lemmy or Reddit?
Which is more ram efficient Lemmy or Reddit?
I was wondering if old reddit+res+ublock origin is comparable to lemmy?
You're viewing a single thread.
According to a memory snapshot from Firefox 126 devtools, with uBlock Origin, immediately after a fresh page load:
- old.reddit.com: 52.54 mb
- new.reddit.com: 93.48 mb
- lemmy.world: 54.44 mb
- old.lemmy.world: 20.25 mb
I imagine both versions of Reddit would be worse without the adblocker. There are multiple frontends for Lemmy, and I did not test them all. Other browsers might differ slightly.
I never knew lemmy had an "old" version! Thanks
Lemmy.world hosts at least five web frontends, which are in the frontpage sidebar:
- The default Lemmy UI
- https://a.lemmy.world - Alexandrite UI
- https://photon.lemmy.world - Photon UI
- https://m.lemmy.world - Voyager mobile UI
- https://old.lemmy.world - A familiar UI
It's possible to use other frontends as well, which don't necessarily have to be hosted by your Lemmy server.
I'm pretty sure the latest reddit has a memory leak that overwhelms the mobile browser after a few minutes and breaks typing.
Are there React apps that don't have memory leaks?
Probably not. It's such a convoluted and buggy system.
old.lemmy.world: 20.25 mb
Damn that efficiency is sexy I gotta go back to using mlmym again!
