Yeah I don't recall the details but I've heard people say that Lemmy (and presumably PieFed?) is fairly resource intensive, needing some beefy network resources to keep up. Unless someone is just trying to personally pull down a community or ten for their own reading pleasure, but once you start piling on the interactions (clicks, posts, comments, even votes - every single one of those takes up "resources") and thus especially as other users start to share the instance, it gets difficult to keep up.
That said, the delay issue specifically with Lemmy.World might be fixed in a month or so... which ofc is what people have been saying for the past half year too:-P.
For features, I definitely strongly recommend PieFed. For Lemmy, I personally recommend Discuss.Online for someone in the USA (lower ping?), with fantastic uptime and next to never having any technical issues, while for someone outside of the USA I think it's feddit.uk that is the typical recommendation that I've seen offered.
I use PieFed as my daily driver though, covering 99% of my Threadiverse activity:-).
