This will VASTLY decrease the server load of I/O for PostgreSQL, as this mistaken code is doing writes of ~1700 rows (each known Lemmy instance in the database) on every single comment & post creation. This creates record-locking issues given it is writes, which are harsh on the system. Once this is fixed, some site operators will be able to downgrade their hardware! ;)

    We have had DBA’s, the problem is the Rust code uses ORM and an auto JSON framework that makes tracing the code time-consuming to learn.
