Had this happen 2 times already and increasing the max memory seemed to fix it. Does lemmy need that much ressources or am I doing something wrong? I’m on the latest stable version

    Did you tune your postgres for your ram size?

        4gb is not a lot for a db. And it has to share it with lemmy and pictrs. It might not be enough with the standard config. Even then it might struggle if you subscribe to a lot of communities. You have to remember that every instance replicates everything the users are subscribed to. I am not sure though because my server hosts several applications and I have enough RAM.

          Yea, there’s no where near enough RAM in that system. Add RAM and I’d bet everything fixes itself for a bit.
