May be a memory leak client side.

3 years ago by Banzai51 to c/main

Noticed my memory usage steadily increasing when I leave my Lemmy tab open after interacting with everything. I'm using Firefox on Win10.

There is a GitHub issue on it here. If you're even slightly tech savvy, keep an eye on your memory usage and see if you can reproduce it. So far it looks like a Firefox/Lemmy issue on both Windows and Linux. But keep and eye out even if you don't use Firefox.

If you do run across it, please report it in the link above.

Edit: Forgot to add, the workaround is to close your Lemmy tab in Firefox, and wait for the memory use to be cleaned up (~20 seconds), then you can re-open it.

Same thing happens to me on macOS in Arc and Safari.
