Its a feature not a bug :)

My issue is lemmy.world (and other bigger instances) is so big that it was just slamming my tiny personal lemmy then later piefed server, so I had to give up. There was a HUGE queue of changes for my little instance of one user.

Instances only send you content for communities you (or someone on your instance) are subscribed to. If you don't care about politics you could probably subscribe to a bunch of smaller communities and not have an issue.

In general though Lemmy needs a lot of disk space, best to configure pictrs not to store images which helps a lot, but the database can still be huge.

I think the database load improved with recent versions. You can also try disabling synchronous_commit in postgres to make your database like 5x faster.
