Sorry for that! For some reason CPU was randomly spiking at 100%, and that would bring the instance down.
I just finished upgrading to the latest release (0.18.3), which has a lot of performance improvements.
That would explain the issues!
I figured Lemmy would improve performance over time, so I was wondering how much it would help to update.
(0.18.2 also added some CORS stuff which makes third party web apps work better, so I was eagerly awaiting this update similarly to 0.18)
The only problem I've been having with the upgrades is that I like to take a full snapshot of the instance before doing the upgrade, and that takes some 30 minutes of downtime. Maybe as the project matures we can upgrade by dumping the DB live, but right now I don't want to risk it.
