@darius Hah, my reading comprehension is down the drain recently. 😅 Makes sense.

@darius @sivy If toot cafe became the Velvet Underground of Mastodon ("only a few people bought the record, but everyone who did started a band"), I could be very happy with that 😆

@darius At some point I believe even mastodon.social was running a Postgres extension to auto-vacuum. I believe it was this one: https://reorg.github.io/pg_repack/

I was never brave enough. 😕

@darius @sivy @sysop This matches my experience. See "Scaling Mastodon down": https://gist.github.com/nolanlawson/fc027de03a7cc0b674dcdc655eb5f2cb

A machine with 4GB of RAM was barely sufficient for ~130 logins per week. And even then, it went down occasionally.
