The instance has been ridiculously slow for the past week

Yeah something is definitely a bit borked. Wonder if there is more traffic in the federation or more users on the instance itself? Or is this just one of the joys of using a prerelease service? Lemmy is pretty resource-intensive because there's a lot of frankly pretty questionable design choices all over the project, from database design to coding practices, and it's apparently turned out to be a bit painful to scale

edit: none of the Lemmy stats I found looked spiky at all around this time, see eg https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats.

edit: sopuli's own stats look relatively flat too https://fedidb.org/network/instance/sopuli.xyz so the slowness is probably just lemmy-api getting cranky for some reason

I admit that there has been performance problems and I have been busy with work recently, so I haven't had time to troubleshoot these problems. Might as well reboot Sopuli now to see if it has any effect and tweak some settings. Rebooting happens after making this post.

yeah I haven't been able to view my profile for a while now.

I'm using Jerboa, and can no longer interact as of a week ago; "This account is being verified."

Edit: Now we are up and running again. 🤔
