Hey there,

on my Piefed instance I’m being haunted by posts I’ve already read that keep re-appearing, often months later.

What can I do about that?

    Hi, thank for the report. That’s outside my skill, i can’t help you but meanwhile you can provide us more detail. :)

    It may be a bug. Did you subcribe to some community or post or user ? Do you have more revalant info about those posts ?

    PieFed only stores 90 days of read post history.

    Now that we have had that feature running for a long time I can see how much space is used by this (430 MB) and I think it’s fine to increase this to 180 days.

    I’ve also added an admin option at /admin/misc which will let you increase it to any value. If you want to keep read history ‘forever’ than just put a really big value in there. On a single user instance the amount of data used by this table will probably be much smaller than it is on piefed.social.
