Feddit UK slow or broken at updating "hot" or "active" (self.feddituk)

submitted 1 year ago by rubikfrog to c/feddituk

24 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I have an account on feddit.uk and lemmy.world with almost identical subscriptions.

When I visit the feddit.uk homepage and look at posts from my subscriptions sorted by "hot", the two posts immediately after the two pinned Feddit UK posts at the top are 6 days old. The behaviour with "active" is similar. Posts shown are quite old, and neither hot nor active.

When I visit the lemmy.world homepage and look at the "hot" posts from my subscriptions, the first 10 are all with the last couple of hours. Active shows posts in the last 24 hours with a healthly number of comments.

Both servers are running 0.17.4

Basically, right now feddit.uk is almost unusable for me due to both hot and active being populated by stale posts. I need to search by "new" to get anything approaching useful - but when I do that there is just too much to sift through.

Sadly, it's not fixed it. Although I've noticed it's community specific...

I think I got rate limited when I used a python script to migrate my subscriptions (some 503 errors) but most of them came through. My new account still gets this post from a year ago (https://feddit.uk/post/321952) as my 4th hot post. Along with a number of 1 year+ old posts below. However, after looking into it looks like they are all from Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml. Going back to my original account, which has my full subscriptions, again they seem to be from some specific communities:

ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml 
Gaming@kbin.social 
Gaming@lemmy.ml
CasualUK@kbin.social 
Cathode Ray Tubes@kbin.social

I'm going to unsubcribe from these for the time being, and see how I get on.

Hmm it might be an issue with the communities then or the way they are stored in our database. I’ll have a look and some test accounts, subscribe to those communities and see if I get the issue as well

This started happening with another community. After looking there is an open issue on GitHub. Looks like it is impacting smaller servers more than larger ones?
