Lemmy.world has been down between 02:00 UTC and 05:45 UTC. This was caused by the database spiking to 100% cpu (all 32 cores/64 threads!) due to inefficient queries been fired to the db very often.
I’ve collected the logs and we’ll be checking how to prevent this. (And what caused this)
What’s the name of the server you are running?
A large instance today will be a small instance in the future. There are hardly any users on lemmy compared to other more established platforms. So if lemmy is to ever handle a lot more users, stress testing the code makes a lot of sense.
What’s going to happen in the future, do you expect there to be 50,000 servers? That’s unrealistic.
You’re not taking into account that some people are dumb as fuck. They will sit on one instance and when the instance goes down , they’ll start whining
