While there have been obvious problems with posts leaving/arriving on fedia.io I haven’t bothered to ask but it seems slightly more reliable for posts from outside to arrive on fedia.io so maybe it’s time to ask.
I haven’t seen a fedia.io sourced post make it to my accounts on ohai.social, misskey.io or calckey.social so I’m wondering if that direction has a blockage or configuration error? They sometimes make it to lemmy.world but I’m trying to read the magazine there rather than relying on a hashtag that I follow.
federation dies about every hour or so, I think due to various database issues
You turn up and my 500 errors go away! I take it the federation breaking and the 500 errors are linked?
to get federation working again, I have to run an increasing number of database cleanup SQL queries, then stop the services, then restart them. So, the reason the 500 errors go away is because I run those SQL clean up queries.
If you don’t mind me asking, what cleanup are you running? Is it a vacuum?
