Good news, everyone! We're running Mastodon 2.6.1 now. The highlights include verified links in your profile, as well as an overhauled direct message UI: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/10/mastodon-2.6-released/
We have a confirmed location for Hacker Beach #7 (January 2019)! https://hackerbeach.org/hacker-beach-7-location-confirmed/
One notable new feature is that you can add up to 4 different label/value pairs of extra information to your profile. Check out https://kosmos.social/settings/profile to add yours.

Regarding the timeline hickups: everything is back to normal. Thanks to @gregkare for jumping in and helping out.
We're terribly sorry for home timelines not having updated for the last 11 hours. Our database connection pool got overloaded somehow, and we didn't notice. Timelines are being rebuilt as we speak, and you should see new toots coming in, either already or very soon.
Thanks to @rburns for the report!
