Ideally when an instance goes down, all its posts and comments and users are replicated in the network and possible to get.

Federation allows this, no? Provided your instance is old enough to have federated with the content in the first place.

Yeah, I thought about it more after commenting. I can’t know for certain what I would do given a bad timeline. Maybe I’d just go offline, spread fliers, something.

Tildes is invite only similar to lobste.rs

I think it doesn’t need to rapidly grow. The trickle of new users we get each time the main players fuck up is good enough for me.

if posting on lemmy makes you an enemy of the state and the state is becoming increasingly harsh with its punishments… would you still be going on and posting regularly? i would certainly think twice.

Where else would we go? Perhaps it’s my non-American privilege but I think in a time like that I couldn’t be silent.

Welcome! Any questions so far?

Changing domains is essentially like starting a whole new instance. It can be done but communities and accounts start from scratch.

Well, we need to remember that the longer ago someone registered the more likely they are to hold some strong views. For many of us it was just a strong feeling that corporate ownership is awful, but not for everyone.

This is why some of us are so focused on spreading the load.

They’re called communities, but they’re still your subscriptions, so in this context it works.

Great! It was unmoderated for a while but I recently took it over and I’m hoping to breathe some life into it.

I wanted a short username since I’m not usually able to get one and the idea of it being something common and impossible to search was fun.

But you can export and import your settings, subscriptions, blocks, easily. As already mentioned it’s not a bad idea to have a backup account.

I know I went through a British Invasion phase.

Ah, I misunderstood. Still, my advice stands for those cases where the mod is inactive on LW.

Next time a community seems like the mod is inactive instead ask in !support@lemmy.world to see if you can be a mod there first.

I really don’t think it would be an issue.

Edit: how many people know polyend?

Also among those pardoned was one of the riot’s most recognisable figures, Jacob Chansley, the self-styled QAnon Shaman, who was released from jail in 2023 after serving 27 months of his 41-month jail sentence.

He told the BBC that he heard the news from his lawyer while he was at the gym.

He added: “I walked outside and I screamed ‘freedom’ at the top of my lungs and then gave a good Native American war cry.”

Of course he did.

Eh, it’s different enough and they’re in different markets anyway. Theirs is rounded at the bottom but Pixelfed’s is straight.
