No, you can’t. Your instance will go down, but all your posts and comments will still live in read-only mode on the instances they been federated before.

In mastodon (another activity pub service) you can export your account with subscriptions, but not the posts. So, if it’ll happen, you gotta start from scratch.

Thanks, great. Gonna search it on my instance, so it’ll appear on a list.

Look at mastodon (or try it), after Twitter user exile it grows and shines like an independent big social network. Same will happen to lemmy.

And if original developers will shut down their instances, there will still be a lot of others. And if devs abandon their code, it’s opensource, so anybody can continue supporting it. And if not, ActivityPub is a protocol, that’s used to exchange data, and new software will be written, like kbin is a working alternative to lemmy.

So, the only thing to worry about is a userbase, we must form it to attract new creative people here.

Like it’s a news. The only thing you should know about russian propaganda narrative is that it points to the inside auditory, they don’t care about people from developed countries in most cases.

We’ll live, we’ll see. Meta is showing its interest in mastodon, so we have a reason to worry. But I think, lemmy will change according to the situation, when situation will be present, not before it.

I’m curios to know how can I help with developing lenmy-ui. It is made with React fork, which I know very well.

First I created account there and then landed on my current instance, because lemmy.ml’s admin views looks sketchy for me. Been living in ex-ussr for all my life I just cant accept all that communists and marxists and the fact that lemmy.ml has /c/Communism on it.

I know that’s silly but that’s why I’m not there anymore.
