Loading the Home feed takes a long time (discuss.tchncs.de)

This has been happening for months, but I think it has gotten worse lately. Loading my default feed (Subscribed with Scaled sort) initially takes anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds every time. Is this normal/expected?

Loading more items works normally, as does everything else, it's just the initial loading that takes frustratingly long. Refreshing the feed right away works quickly too, but after couple of hours the first load is slow again.

I've tried both the default web app and Voyager, and both have the same issue. It's not a critical problem by any means, but it is frustrating, especially since it seems to have gotten worse recently.

I've been thinking a bit. Not so many people are reporting the same issue so maybe it's related to the number of subscribed communities I have or something else like that? I have quite a few subscriptions actually. The problem seems to only occur when logged in, so that would support that theory. But it's difficult to pinpoint the issue as I need to wait at least a couple of hours for it to be slow again.

If there's any additional information that I can provide that might help in debugging this, I'm happy to help.

On which continent are you located?

Europe

My thinking is that if it were some kind of connection problem, things would be slow all the time. Everything works just fine after the initial wait of 10-30 seconds.
