Otoh, if one server is having issues, it's pretty trivial to swap to another. Whereas if reddit is down, it's down. No getting around that. If Lemmy.today is down, I can just swap to another server without issue (except being treated as a sus person just because my account says it's new).
How are communities affected by such outages? Do they stop federating, but people can still see what other people from their own instance post?
Can't you also post from other instances? I see new posts on !europe@feddit.de all the time
If you can at least post text, you can at least tell people where to migrate to. Doesn't seem like that big of an issue, but not being able to migrate all of the post history (AFAIK) is unfortunate (hopefully something is done to fix that shortcoming).
I can see at least one feddit.de community via web browser, so do you meant just the feddit.de web interface stopped working, but people on other instances still can see it? Or is it broken in ways other than simply being able to see the posts?
Are you viewing it from your instance or feddit.de? I can see all the feddit.de communities I subscribed to on sh.itjust.works, but I can't see the main site at all.
Viewing from my instance. Doesn't really seem like a big deal as long as the original content is still viewable from other instances, including viewing old account's history.
