I've been troubleshooting the issues we keep having with Friendica.world.
The site gets unresponsive at nights (CET) around 3AM, and stays that way for a couple of hours. I've been trying to find the reason for that, but no luck yet.
It's not the backup (that runs at a different time), nor are the resources at 100%.
I did just change a setting for pm.max_children which defines the number of php-fpm processes which handle the web traffic, because I saw some errors about it having reached the max. This will fix some issues, but not sure if it fixes the freezing of the site.. We'll see I guess..
Volunteers
If there are people with some technical skills, wanting to help out running this thing (or any other instance we run), please send me a DM or mail info@friendica.world.
It's all volunteer work, and we can use some extra hands.
Donations
You can use this instance for free, but if you would like to and are able, you could help us funding the running costs by making a donation: ko-fi.com/fhfworld

in reply to gargle • •@Michael Vogel I now can see your reply on Friendica. It only appeared 57 minutes ago while you posted it 11 hours ago. The instanse was acting up.
About the mutuals, can it be that Friendica only shows a person as a mutual if that person is on friendica as well? I have one mutual here on Friendica, and that happens to be another Friendica user. I also follow my mastodon account on floss.social (and on floss.social I follow my Friendica account. Mastodon sees my Friendica account as a mutual).

in reply to gargle • •It took a couple of tries and there were a couple of 'user not found' messages when following and unfollowing my mastodon account. A final "re-fetch contact data" turned my mastodon account in a mutual. All is well now.
Now back to fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…, the presentation that lead me into this adventure 😁
