Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?
Firefox on Windows 10 on Ryzen 5 5600X. It does seem to run better in Chrome. It’s only noticeable when the page is loading.

Sounds to me that Firefox is the “problem”.
Then again, open source projects like Firefox and Lemmy aren’t exactly known for being the best in resource optimization.
Add up the layer of bloatware that’s included in Windows and… voliá! You got yourself an un-optimized mess.
I personally access Lemmy through a low end phone, so i use Jerboa which despite veing pretty “basic” (unlike, you know, Boost), has the advantage of being lightweight and pretty well-optimized.
Jerboa is horribly optimized and scrolling through comments in a 100+ comments thread is like 20fps on a Pixel 7.
+100 comms… Jesus, those are some large ass threads you’re reading.
While i do not (usually) scroll through threads as large as yours, i do own a much cheaper phone (Moto G8 Play), and my experience so far has been great.
Sort by active and you’ll easily find those threads.
Try Sync for Lemmy and you’ll immediately notice a difference in scrolling.
