Have all of the same issues from time to time. Also getting errors when using 3rd party apps as well which I presume are also HTTP 500 errors due to the fast response

Anything about the lemmy.ml instance and its moderation.
For discussion about the Lemmy software project, go to !lemmy@lemmy.ml.
I've spent over 60 hours in the past 11 or 12 days on this problem, and it's been brushed under the rug. There are MAJOR problems being logged on that server, and the server logs are not being shared.
I spent the past 20 minutes reading over on Beehaw.org instance, and the same problem is happening there. Pages always load or fail fast, but nginx 500 errors come in batches - where for 20 seconds I instantly get broken page/error page. And then the site resumes normal operation.
I’ve seen similar behavior (fail fast,) when there are outbound networking issues from any of the service containers. In one instance, lemmy backend was not able to make any outbound connections to any external services. It wild fail in milliseconds and show a timeout error in the logs.
One hypothesis here could be there are sporadic network issues on the lemmy.ml servers. 🤷♂️
