could be us, i’ll have to update the server to 0.18.4, but it’s interesting that it only happens on lemmy.world. thanks for the poke, going to try it as soon as i can

i hope that resolves it because otherwise lemmy’s error logs are a nightmare, they don’t correspond to anything

okay, i have some news regarding this

i found a database pool exhaustion problem, so i increased the db pool significantly, and finally regenerated the postgres conf file to account for the additional memory we have on the new instance. hopefully that will help a lot with stability

i also tried updating to 0.18.4 but it doesn’t seem to work, the backend just wants to insert all the federated connections we have into the db again for some reason, fails because it violates a unique key, and refuses to start. i’ll have to figure out why the hell it’s doing all that and how to make it realize that it doesn’t need to resync everything. for the time being, we’re stuck on 0.18.2.

i hope the increased database capacity resolves this issue
