Default community for midwest.social. Post questions about the instance or questions you want to ask other users here.
The high CPU issue that is causing midwest.social to slow way down and timeout on HTTP requests is still a mystery to me. But, it seems to do it less often and for less time now.
Here is CPU usage over 24 hours:
It's a bunch of SELECT statements in Postgres that all seem to fire at one time and take a while to complete as a batch. I've inspected the logs and haven't seen anything unusual. Just stuff federating and posts receiving upvotes.
Has the influx of new members exacerbated this issue? I found this thread because I'm seeing a few '504 Gateway Timeout' errors occasionally.
Beehaw is also noticing these issues. It's most likely from the influx of new users.
Any updates on server stability lately? I've been having a lot of connectivity issues the last couple days, and just saw this post on lemmy.world that was pretty interesting.
@seahorse@midwest.social have you been dealing with performance problems like this?
(side note, how do you embed a link to another instance that will let midwest.social users stay logged on?)
