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.
I do truly appreciate all of this hard work considering how difficult the situation must be with the sudden influx in the Fediverse and all the moving parts that must go with this.
Persistence conquers all :-)
