@Gargron sorry. wasn't trying to be unclear.

sometimes everything on the instance stops. as in no new content in federated timeline or home. if I try to follow someone, it says pending even if they don't require approval.

But if I restart those 3x services, my home screen and timeline will fill up and display new content, and I'm able to follow those same accounts with one click.

@jeff Did you check if restarting only mastodon-sidekiq did the trick?

@Gargron no, but will try that next time. I suppose I could make a cron job to just restart nightly. just figured maybe something could be addressed. pretty new to all of this. So sorry for my ambiguity 😂 wasn't trying to pester you in anyway

@jeff Well, I'm not restarting anything here, it's obviously not supposed to require that. Just trying to figure out what could be wrong because the observations described could be anything.

@Gargron if it acts up again is there a log somewhere I should check? Or post it somewhere that would be more productive?

@jeff It's either a) the streaming server isn't up or can't be connected to for some reason or b) the sidekiq service is not executing jobs. There's a link to the Sidekiq dashboard from the admin UI.

@Gargron hey wanted to follow-up on this. looks like your hunch was correct - the sidekiq service was not executing jobs. under "Dashboard" the top timeline was all blank.

When I ran "systemctl restart mastodon-sidekiq" my timeline started to fill in and it functions now. just strange behavior considering it has only been up for 3 days.
