Ah fuck. That's where my alt was.
Do we have a reason?

Server went down, admin with system access hasn't been seen in months.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 16 points 1 month ago

This part worries me. Do we know where the server was located? Any chance they were arrested for the site breaking some law? I hope they are okay, whatever happened.

Couldn't you at least find some NSFW meme for this thread?

Sad day indeed.

Can somebody remind me about how this works again on the fediverse please? When a federated server goes down, does its content and comments - which presumably were circulated to other federated servers - still exist? Can you do something like a raid parity reconstruction?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The posts and comments can still be seen across the Fediverse. Images and videos are going to depend, your instance may have cached it, or maybe the post was to externally hosted media. In these cases the media will persist. However in the majority of cases the photos and videos were uploaded directly and will be lost.

For example: [NSFW, obviously] https://thelemmy.club/c/boobs@lemmynsfw.com?dataType=Post&sort=TopAll (your instance may be automatically translating that link)

It appears that nothing is wrong... Other than there's no new content.

Actually the lemmynsfw image servers appear to be up for now. So if anyone wants to archive do it now.

The current way the fediverse exists is all the posts and users only really exist on the host domain. So if it goes down everything is effectively lost. It might exist briefly on some servers, but it takes manual intervention to save it, and it can't be re sent out to anyone.

They provably have already implemented as much "manually intervention" as possible. More than that would become detrimental.

Pretty sure it's not coming anywhere volcel-kamala
