Here's a guess from a former reddit dev.

The way that Reddit builds "mixed" subreddit listings (where you see posts from multiple subreddits, like users' front pages) is inefficient and strange, and relies heavily on multiple layers of caches. Having so many subreddits private with their posts inaccessible has never happened before, and is probably causing a bunch of issues with this process

Unrelated, but any way to get a tildes invite these days? I asked on Reddit but then shut my sub down and have avoided going back

Exact same boat here.
