This makes things even more laggy. Also, often when starting Amethyst I have to scroll all the way up first to see the newest posts, first showing posts from 2 days ago or older.

What do you mean more laggy? The startup loads a bunch of stuff, but after a few seconds it should be pretty fast.
When Amethyst restarts it shows whatever comes first from your relays. That 2 day old post is what the fastest relay you have has sent.
