I experienced the same thing so I'm thinking it may have been down.

Same issue here, the server likely went down at the same time as the major instances were getting hacked.
I'm not a huge Lemmy user (I only check this instance regularly) so I didn't even know that was going on.
Yep, we have had some issues recently (some exacerbated because I have been travelling and dealing with a sick toddler), but I've recently made a few changes on the server and hopefully this helps.
Edit to add: I'll pin a post later today giving an update on what's going on.
I was having issues, and it looks like no one was able to post or anything for a couple of days.
omg I saw your comment and didn't look too closely at the username. I thought the Lemmy algorithm had fed me a post from like a week ago or something when there was a different outage that I had commented on.
I had issues as well for the past few days.
