That explains why I had a sudden burst. I use pgbouncer between Lemmy and the DB to help with connections, which seems to be the biggest problem. However, I had some values flipped. I had my max set to 180 and the min set to 190. This caused issues. After I resolved it, it was fine.
My DB supports up to 197 connections.
Thanks @gabe@literature.cafe! https://social.photo. I just opened registration so it’s still very young. I am running Lemmy on https://discuss.online, Mastodon on https://utter.online and Pixelfed on https://social.photo. I also run a matrix instance on the same discuss.online domain.
I’m based in Ohio, US; however, the servers are in New York on DigitalOcean. That’s really close to Canada :).
I’m trying to build an ecosystem under the https://participating.online brand. I don’t plan on going anywhere.
In fact, I had planned to build something many years ago and I’ll probably start on it now. It will provide a unique experience once it’s done in a several months. I’m working on some other stuff first… like myself.
