Slow space listing on a community with many topics

[deleted] 3 months ago Resolved

One of my spaces has a few thousand topics and the listing page is sluggish. Others are fast. Is there an index or a setting I should check for large spaces?

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

The importer preserves original dates and maps forums to spaces. Always run with --dry-run first to preview counts, take a database backup, then run the real import. It batches large datasets so timeouts are not a concern.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.
