Lemmy locks up and uses a lot of ressources after about a week (feddit.de)

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

I'm a Linux/selfhosting novice, but from what I understand, Linux (and proxmox) uses intelligent resource management. It should adjust CPU and memory demands between tasks and VMs. My small stack of VMs running a media server and omv is basically always redlining with memory, occasionally with cpu (I don't have a dedicated GPU for encoding though)

The storage is a different problem, but it doesn't surprise me that Lemmy would use quite a bit of storage with active federation and multiple users.
