Probably both this and cloudflare caching. Looks like I set CF to cache for 1 year at some point, I can lower it… but that won’t “fix” this, only limit the time its an issue for.

It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.

Hey I do exactly the same, high 5!

Good bot.

The largest table holds data that is only needed by Lemmy briefly. There is a scheduled job to clear it… Every 6 months. There are active discussions on how best to handle this.

On my instance I’ve set a cronjob to delete everything but the most recent 100k rows of that table every hour.

By the way, upgradding to lemmy version 0.18.1 is well worth it. Some massive under the hood performance improvements 🙂

Mate, that sounds like an awesome night. I’d call that a win!

Ok yeah, I guess for external links direct to images it makes sense for the image to be retrieved by each instance. Still, its not intuitive behaviour and it doesn’t seem to be widely understood at all.

Thanks for reporting back.

It may be a bug, I’m not sure.

On 0.18.1-rc.10 the defederated instances are at the very bottom, not on the right hand side.

Yeah, I’ve gone over 24 hours now without it occurring… but not calling it “fixed” until at least a week.

I used it as my phone ringtone for years. It is permanently burned into my brain.

I’ve been seeing similar since upgrading to 0.18. Upgraded to 0.18.1-rc.9 yesterday… haven’t seen it reoccur again… yet.

Here is an example I happened to be at my PC for:

Mushroom mushroom!

Damn I’m old. For those too young, check this out.

I wish I knew… I’ve seen the behavior you’ve described, but others tell me it doesn’t happen.

A classy response to a less than classy move.
