It’s the new lemmy update that is the issue. It broke a lot. Lots of people are abandoning lemmy anyhow, which is why the servers are so empty now. I don’t expect many lemmy servers to continue in the next six months.
the lemmy changes are causing excessive resource use on my 'bin instance. so yeah, not using lemmy, but being directly affected by the lemmy snafu.
my failed messaging queue is filling, which has its own retry logic.. that queue buildup also takes disk space.... extra processing, extra disk space.. this leads to 'worker' slowdown and then system failures and timeouts.
Lastly RabbitMQ allows message prioritisation. So you can drop the priority of things the older/more retries they contain.
Most of this is either RabbitMQ policy or Queue rules based on Headers in the AMQP message. Depending on how KBin is generating messages you might be able to do this as a system admin

Oh, interesting. My bad then, it's common for people to be unaware that kbin is a different thing from Lemmy and so I made an incorrect assumption.
I suppose this reveals some room for improvement in kbin, then. Other servers' problems shouldn't be impacting kbin as badly as this, likely indicating that kbin needs to add some robustness when it comes to dealing with stuff like this.
your thought process isnt completely off. if my server product was detecting the failures correctly, these resources wouldnt pile up.
i dont think people really understand just how brand new all this stuff is. 'the fediverse' is under active development. they call it the 'bleed edge' of technology because its painful. most fediverse servers are experiencing growing pains of some sort.
the Lemmy/kbin sides are still wet behind the ears. i just hope people dont give up!
The beginning of reddit was much the same. Things stopped working all the time. Weird bugs popped up. And there were people posting posts like this a lot trying to figure out what was going on.
In addition to the 404 thing that has been posted, nearly every upvote/downvote/click of a page element is getting me the "We are working on resolving issues" error. Took me several tries to get here to type this, and not sure how many it will take to get the comment to actually post.
I'm certainly open to the idea that it's somehow just me though, it seemed like he was doing a lot of nip and tuck leading up to the holiday, unless I misread his devblog posts.

That's the default error text, it's been showing up for any downtime for a few months now. I think Ernest probably set that once for a server upgrade a while back and never changed it lol.
There've been some stability issues with kbin.social for a couple days now. Been having trouble loading threads and even just voting on things sometimes doesn't work. Hopefully it gets resolved soon!
Yeah. It started yesterday for me.
Read something, I think, on another thread about Ernest, the admin, being away with family for the holiday. Might be somewhat limited functionality for a little bit. But, he's been pretty on top of things over the last few months. I'm sure he'll get it sorted out when he gets back.
