We have been having a lot of server issues today where I have had to reboot the server every hour or so.
I have seen there is a lot of reports of scaling issues with the federation that they say may cause issues.
To test if this is the problem we are experiencing, I have turned federation off for a few hours, maybe overnight.
I will let you know as soon as I know more.
In the meantime, I apologize for the inconvenience.
awww, hope things get better soon.
Me too.
V16 was very very stable for us.
V17 has been a disaster. This could in part be caused by active Lemmyverse users increasing by a factor of 20 in the last month. It could also be some of the new instances we federated with trying some funky stuff.
In any case I know the devs are working very hard. I have never seen do many different people contributing to the development effort.
So despite these scaling problems, the future looks bright.
Bring on V18
