Having a lot of channels open in the IRC chat app (called TheLounge) decreases performance significantly. It opens a new channel every time you visit a new sub. To close the channels and greatly speed up load time you can do the following:
Right above the chat app box, click 'chat in new tab'
In the tab that opens, on the left it will list every channel you are in
Close every single one of those, except the top-most bolded one called SaidIt, this is your server connection.
Close the chat tab and refresh the main page.
There you go! Now chat is super fast again. We're looking in to a way to automate this process, but for now this is the way to fix your chat if it has become slow to load.
Any questions or comments, just let us know below. Thanks
