I am nerfing a bunch of settings to try and help with the server using too many resources and getting killed. If things are weird / farms not working, please tell me.
Cool. What kind of stuff did you nerf? So far I haven't noticed any change in the farms I have loaded most of the time (a wool farm and a sugar cane farm), so I don't know what to look for.
I think the most important settings are in regards simulation-distance, it is now lowered (edit: I thought that if sim-dist was set to 4, that meant 4 chunks would be "ticked", that isn't the case. So this probably won't be as much of a problem as I thought. The simulation distance is actually 9 chunks) and that an alternative redstone implementation is now used, this may or may not break some redstone.
The other two that might have an effect are: mobs will now despawn closer to players, and they are somewhat stupider (block changes won't make them update their path-finding). And some villager behaviors and sensors will now happen less frequently (this is the thing I think will have the least effect on anything)

Is it just me or there isn't a lot of activity on the server these days?
It's not just you, the few times I look at the logs, it always seems like there are only a few people playing.
It would be nice to have more activity. Have you thought of advertising the server on c/comradeship of on hexabear or something?
I havent.
Well, maybe you should. I would love to have more players, it's really empty rn.
How many peoples do we have playing regularly?
Should I update the server to 1.20.2?
While at it please also up the difficulty to hard, it is impossible to do certain stuff on easy or normal
