In the next days I need to optimize the large database tables of libranet.de and venera.social. The database has grown to an extent where the server would run out of disk space in the next weeks.

This is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process that can block other database queries. That's why I will switch on maintenance mode beforehand.

I'll start with the large database tables of venera.social. When this is done I'll continue with libranet.de.

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now ✨

:pixelfed: Groups will be compatible with #Lemmy, #Mbin, #Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!

Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀
