What happens to orphaned communities when their host instance dies?
(discuss.tchncs.de)
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
If you wanted to get help with moderating your own community then head over to !moderators@lemmy.world!

Afaik posts and comments are copied locally to federated instances so if the original went down you could still access what was once there from some other instance.
E.g everything (excluding uploaded images/videos) on https://sopuli.xyz/c/technology@beehaw.org would still be there without beehaw.
Once a user on instance A subscribes to a community on instance B, then instance A starts caching posts from the community on B. But to my understanding it doesn't retroactively fetch all historical posts and comments.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !technology@beehaw.org](https://sopuli.xyz/c/technology@beehaw.org)
