Are you aware that your instance is currently home to nearly 20,000 users, while still only reporting just 2 posts? From the outside looking in your instance looks like the current home of a spam bot farm waiting to happen.
Most of those users seem to have joined in the past 2 days. https://fedidb.org/network/instance/lemmy.elest.io
