Feddit UK slow or broken at updating "hot" or "active" (feddit.uk)

7 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.

@[email protected] Hey Tom. This issue is persisting for me. I get the odd post that I would consider hot, but in general the posts are days, weeks or in a couple of cases YEARS old! I have accounts on two other instances with similar subscriptions to those I have here:

lemmy.world doesn't have this issue (although it has many other issues and is generally unusable, I think due to load). They are on UI: 0.18.1-rc.7

programming.dev is also on BE: 0.18.0 and seems fine. No issues with hot posts. They have about twice the number of users/posts as feddit.uk.

Hey, that is very weird and one I can't reproduce myself unfortunately.

I think all I can do atm is wait for the full 0.18.1 release and hope that fixes it otherwise will need to dig into it further

Stranger and stranger... these are my "hots". They start off okay, and then quickly they are a year+ old. Happens on all clients. I'm probably going to create a new username/account and see if it's the same. Maybe something has got stale with this one. Besides, I don't like my username anymore! :)

Yeh I think that might be best creating a new account let us know if that has fixed it

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 [email protected]. Going back to my original account, which has my full subscriptions, again they seem to be from some specific communities:

ADHD [email protected]
Programmer [email protected] 
[email protected] 
[email protected]
[email protected] 
Cathode Ray [email protected]

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?
