I'm a bit confused by the upside-down negative swap graph. Does it say that the server is eating up to 5GB of swap, but restarting lemmy each night only returns that to about 2.5GB of swap? What's the swap monster?
Yep, thats what it means. What is the swap monster? Seems to be a mix of the lemmy backend and the associated Postgres DB. Its likely the Postgres config is sub optimal and my fault, but honestly given the other issues the lemmy code has had in the past I'm happy to leave the daily restart in place.
