I donā€™t have an issue with this on Chrome.

Oh wait no I do have that. I just donā€™t have an issue going here:
https://www.inaturalist.org/comments?mine=true

Selecting the All comments tab also takes a while to load.

Iā€™m having the same issue with the ā€˜Real Time Discussionsā€™ tab, except it doesnā€™t load at all.

I think they are basically the same thingā€¦ The Real Time Discussions page just has a better user interface, I think.

ā€œlong timeā€ is not very precise. I just tried loading https://www.inaturalist.org/comments and it took me about 35 seconds, which I would agree is a long time. Is that about how long itā€™s taking for you all?

And yes, Real Time Discussions didnā€™t load even after a minute.

Added to my weekly report.

I just loaded the Comments page, and it took 54 s. Early I had left the Real Time Discussions page open awhile (I think almost 8 minutes) and it still didnā€™t load.

Thatā€™s about how long it usually takes, sometimes longer though. Probably depends on internet connection as well.

Comments page should load more quickly now (itā€™s taking a few seconds for me), and Real Time Discussions will actually load now.
