Good morning,
Some of you may have experienced a small hiccup this morning (eastern time). I went ahead and upgraded our lemmy instance to 0.17.4. I also took this opportunity to make some small adjustments to the instance that required a restart of services. These changes were mainly related to increasing Federation worker count in hopes to decrease synchronization times with other instances. A small fix to help slow down the storage growth was also applied (limiting log sizes that get generated).
Everything should be back up now. In the future my goal is to be more transparent with scheduling downtime.

Is there a wiki of Lemmy or fediverse terminology for stuff like this? I’m not sure what “Federation worker count” is, but I also don’t know where to look to find the answer.
Not everything is documented but here is a link to the official lemmy documentation: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html
Yeah something like that was what I was looking for. I don’t see any mention of “Federation worker count” but… not everything is documented so whatever. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks!
