Update:
It has been almost 5 months since I started running a Snikket server. I only had to update once and that was very easy. I faced no issues as of now on the server side. The uptime has been 100%.

Updated the instance to mastodon v3.5.0 (after doing the two step db migration). Got 500 server error, couldn't figure the issue.
Was using docker-compose, downgraded to v3.4.6. Things are working for now. Will re-try later.
