How can I as a user reduce server load on friendica.world? (lemmy.ca)

Consider logging in using a third-party app as api calls are less taxing on the server resources as this method avoids the user-interface from needing to be loaded in. As Friendica's software currently is not optimized for the activity of thousands of users.

The instance tends to function better on Raccoon than on the direct website in my experience.
