It was shared on GitHub on Sunday July 22 by lemmy.ca staff. Developers who run the project do not seem to do merges on Saturday and Sunday. I submitted a pull request Sunday evening given the server crash relief this would provide, ready for them first thing Monday. I clearly labeled the pull request as “emergency”.
It is well into Wednesday and merges are being done on new site features for for the past 3 days. Yet, server crash pull request was edited to remove “emergency” from description first thing Monday and sits without any urgency attention.
This is the same pattern I saw for the past 2 months regarding server crashes related to PostgreSQL.
Fresh example, users here on Lemmy reporting that Join-Lemmy is 502 nginx errors, This kind of total crash for the project has been normalized for the 62 days I have been testing Lemmy at least 3 hours each and every day. https://lemmy.ml/post/2482662
