Temporary solution to some of the slowdown issues is to use uBlock Origin to block the domain 'robohash.org' (used to generate the default avatars)

You can do this by:

Right-clicking on any robot avatar
Choosing 'Block element'
Deleting everything after 'robohash.org'
Pressing the 'Create button'
Refreshing the page

Hopefully @BonfireBuilders will swap out the default avatars soon!

@dajbelshaw @BonfireBuilders @vera anyway, one lesson here is don't rely on any external services (which we've tried to do but obviously missed some! for instance you can choose among - at the moment three - different fonts in settings, and those are loaded from the instance rather than a CDN)

@BonfireBuilders @vera it's a mystery as to why, but removing robohash seems to have greatly sped the loading of feeds! 🎉 🎉 great find @dajbelshaw 🙇 👏

It's nice to not just be for rhetorical effect for once! Thanks for the speedy fix 😀

is it doing it on demand? it might be waiting for data before it continues processing?

the code generating those URIs wasn't making any requests, but it's possible that it was happening somewhere else in the backend, since we we have code that compresses images for "lazy loading", though that usually applies only for locally-uploaded ones
