Here's how it works: First, the app creates an optimized query that loads only the necessary information needed for pagination. This includes filtering activities based on a specific feed, ensuring that only relevant activities are considered. This optimized query is designed to load less data from disk and thus is faster. It returns just the IDs of one or two pages, which could be up to 40 activities.

To address this challenge, we implemented deferred joins and boundary checking. Instead of fetching all the data and performing boundary checks for every activity before selecting the ones for a specific page, we defer these operations until after an initial pagination has been applied.

Here are the details copied from that post:

Why the campground had become so slow, and how we fixed that (browsing feeds is now up to 95% faster!):

When you're browsing your feed on Bonfire, each page on the app displays 20 activities, but there are tens of thousands of activities in total. Fetching all the activities at once, including related data like their authors and threads, and checking permissions for each activity can be slow and inefficient.

@adiz@outerkosm.us @Gargron @thomasfuchs @Oceane@social.coop Yes, or the reverse only accepting replies (or other interactions) from one or more of your circles.

From the point of view of someone who started a thread (and my instance) it means "I can't stop you from speaking (to your own followers) but I don't have to listen or spread your voice to others (i.e. other people reading the thread)"

@mike nice feedback, added 🔥 (in the upcoming release)

@NGIZero

Which do you prefer: composing posts while scrolling through your feed or reading a thread, or using a distraction-free composer to focus on your thoughts and find the right words? With the upcoming Bonfire release, you can customize your user experience by defining the default composer type in your settings. 🔥 #CustomizeYourBonfire #preferences #SetYourDefaults
