Post that were read come back (news.erebion.eu)

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?

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.

Wait, 90 days? Then how do posts from 4, 7 or 18 months ago keep coming back?
