Lemmy starts out pretty chill, but the longer it is running, the more CPU it's using. Until I restart it again, and then the process starts over again. It's just /app/lemmy that's eating the cpu cycles. Looks like there are some threads that keep requeueing themselves, until eventually that's all it's doing.

Does anybody have any clues or pointers about this?

I'm running 0.17.4, haven't made the jump yet to 0.18.

I've been running the 0.18 docker build since it was released. Just took a look and it's CPU usage has remained <3% on load since the release. Admittedly my instance has only a handful of users, but it might be worth upgrading to 0.18?

Yeah, my instance doesn't have a lot of users, but it does have a lot of posts (few thousand per day). It might be all the updates it's sending out.

I guess I'll just have to give 0.18 a try then.

I’d give it a try. I read there were federation issues between 0.18 instances and those <0.18. Might be linked to that.
