Unused indexes
Using the postgres_dba[1] tools, looking at Pleroma database on bikeshed -- we have a few obvious indexes we can probably shed. A few others are picked up incorrectly because of data/features not on bikeshed.
pleroma_prod=# :dba
Menu:
0 – Node & Current DB Information: master/replica, lag, DB size, tmp files, etc
1 – Databases: Size, Statistics
2 – Table Sizes
3 – Load Profile
a1 – Current Activity: count of current connections grouped by database, user name, state
b1 – Tables Bloat, rough estimation
b2 – B-tree Indexes Bloat, rough estimation
b3 – Tables Bloat, more precise (requires pgstattuple extension; expensive)
b4 – B-tree Indexes Bloat, more precise (requires pgstattuple extension; expensive)
b5 – Tables and Columns Without Stats (so bloat cannot be estimated)
e1 – List of extensions installed in the current DB
i1 – Unused/Rarely Used Indexes
i2 – Redundant Indexes
i3 – FKs with Missing/Bad Indexes
i4 – Invalid Indexes
i5 – Unused/Redundant Indexes Do & Undo Migration DDL
p1 – [EXPERIMENTAL] Alignment Padding. How many bytes can be saved if columns are ordered better?

s2 – Slowest Queries Report (requires pg_stat_statements)
t1 – Postgres parameters tuning
v1 – Vacuum: Current Activity
q – Quit
