This is just to followup from my prior post on latencies increasing with increasing uptime (see here).
There was a recent update to lemmy.ml (to 0.19.4-rc.2) … and everything is so much snappier. AFAICT, there isn’t any obvious reason for this in the update itself(?) … so it’d be a good bet that there’s some memory leak or something that slows down some of the actions over time.
Also … interesting update … I didn’t pick up that there’d be some web-UI additions and they seem nice!
For the moment at least. Whatever problem we had before, it seemed to get worse over time, eventually requiring a restart. So we’ll have to wait and see.
My server seems to get slower until requiring a restart every few days, hoping this provides a fix for me too 🤞
Try switching to Postresql 16.2 or later.
What’s new in postgres?
Nothing particular, but there was a strange bug in previous versions that in combination with Lemmy caused a small memory leak.
Well, I’ve been on this instance through a few updates now (since Jan 2023) and my impression is that it’s a pretty regular pattern (IE, certain APIs like that for replying to a post/comment or even posting have increasing latencies as uptime goes up).
Sounds exactly like the problem I fixed and mostly caused
