I'm getting tons of 503 errors on mastodon.social - everything is loading slow, I can't use the bell icon, is it just me?

Say a mastodon.social (for example) user searches for a post on a remote server, which causes mastodon.social to fetch that post to be available locally on mastodon.social.

If a *different* mastodon.social user, or even that same user, searches for that same post on a remote server, does mastodon.social just retrieve the locally stored copy, or does it query the remote server every single time someone searches for it?

Question: I'm quite new to Mastodon (I dumped Twitter and am on Bluesky (which I like but of late it's getting a little echo chamber and doom and gloom). I'm not looking to hide from the world, but I'd be grateful for recommendations on people to follow about:

Canadian news
Canadian politics
Higher education - teaching

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Okay, a bit miffed now.

Was going through the list of accounts that I follow to see if there were any inactive ones or any that I don't wish to follow anymore & I was finding that when I went to several profiles (on different servers) that most of them displayed as if I was not following them.
The button that should say Unfollow showed up as the Follow button.
On a couple I clicked the Follow button to see what would happen & it brought up a dialogue box asking me to sign in, offering a field to enter my full handle in. This makes no sense as I'm already logged in on my instance & I doubt me logging in to their instance would work as I do not have an account there.

Could someone explain what that's about as it's a little disturbing to a non-tech head?

Thanks 🙂

EDIT: Had my explanations, so I'm a little wiser now 😃👍.

自分の投稿を検索する時はみなさんどうされていますか？
from:meというショートカットを使ってもなかなか出てこなく
ハッシュタグを使った投稿以外は見つからないんですが、みなさんはいかがでしょうか？  

Do y'all have any tips for how to search your own posts?
I've tried the from:me thing, but it always comes up empty
My only success has been with posts that include hashtags :( I want to search for other things, but no dice thus far
