Timeline not changing frequently? (sh.itjust.works)

Not sure if this is isolated to me, but when sorting by Active, my Subscribed, Local and All feeds pretty much don't change for multiple days. I have to sort by New, Hot, etc. to get new content, but even those feeds stay somewhat constant.

Is this a problem with how the Lemmy feed algorithms work? Or is it a queueing issue, like how Mastodon refreshes timelines?

This is an issue that the dev team is actively working on and (I believe) it'll be a part of the 0.18.0 release.

There's a hacky workaround some admins in the matrix chat implemented @[email protected] -- set a cron job to restart your lemmy back-end every hour or so. Not sure what the impact would be on a bigger instance like this but the restart only take a few seconds on my smaller one and it keeps my feeds fresh.
