I have my self-hosted instance now, but there are some issues / open questions:
- When going to my admin-page, I see tons of banned users I never banned myself. Who banned them, why do I need to know about it?
- Concerned I might have left my instance too open and they might have used my instance for spamming, I tried to look for all users on my instance. By directly accessing postgres:lemmy and checking the user-ids, I saw it’s just the expected ones, however, I wasn’t able to find the usernames, neither easily in postgres nor on the lemmy admin page. Any ideas?
- I see timeouts when accessing my lemmy instance, however, the host doesn’t show high cpu-, memory- or network-load and I don’t see anything immediately suspicious in the logs. According to iftop, there aren’t insane amounts of connections, either. Sometimes it seems to help temporarily to restart my apache server. Any ideas, what to look out for?

I’ve been running a private instance for about a week and would like to know some of these too. My understanding is the banned users are users that other instances ban, and that information also federates to you. For the other two questions, afaik dumping the db is the only way to check users? And I’m not sure about the timeouts. I find it helps to periodically restart the lemmy service(s) on a cron.
