I deleted my instance and want to use my domain for something else. However, traffic keeps getting pushed to my server. Is there a way to stop this?

I believe you were supposed to unsubscribe from everything before deleting so that other servers won't continue to send stuff

Have you tried returning 404 response status codes for the requested URLs? I think federated requests will need for your server to tell them the URLs don't exist anymore.
