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)

      Well, as pretty much the biggest instance, it provides the best data for load-testing. 🫣

        My issue with the smaller instances is that I enjoy browsing Local, and this is typically not as active or interesting on there. Is there a way to browse lemmy.world’s Local from another instance?

          Local makes sense for a country or field focused instance (queer rights, programming, even porn or whatever), not so much for generalist instances, unfortunately.

          The way you use local only makes sense now as most of the communities are on LW. Once a few of them start to branch out (such as lemdro.id or startrek.website), if you want to see that content, you will either subscribe or use all

      Yeah. It doesn’t seem like a serious instance because of that
