NextCloud does feel slow. What I want is not only a cloud service that does lots of common tasks, but it also should do it lightly and simply.
I'm extremely tempted to write a lightweight alternative. I'm thinking sourcehut [1] vs GitHub.

I made one such lightweight alternative frontend: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash
I've been running filestash in front of sftpgo (using a combination of s3 and nfs for file backends) for a couple years now and have been very happy with it.
Take a look at OpenCloud. It's a Go-based rewrite of the former OwnCloud team.
It works very well, has polished UI and uses very little resources. It also does a lot less than Nextcloud.

Just compare comparable products.
Nextcloud is an old product that inherit from Owncloud developed in php since 2010. It has extensibility at its core through the thousands of extensions available.
So yaaay compare it with source hut ...

I'm not saying that sourcehut is the same in any way, but I want the difference between GitHub and sourcehut to be the difference between NextCloud and alternative.

Tough situation to be in, I don't envy it.

Sure, but I think for some limited use cases, something better could be imagined.
Aren't you just confirming the parent that Nextcloud is the big, feature-rich behemoth like Github?
Maybe that's the problem "old product that inherit from Owncloud".
