Oh and sometimes I post to [email protected] because I like the domain for that instance LMAO

Sorry, but it's the same than for feddit.org, they went down like 2 years ago...

I even posted about it 4 months ago! https://lemmy.world/post/20273021

Lemmy could do a lot better job of showing that a community is on a dead instance. Here's an issue about warning when posting to defederated instances, which could be considered the same issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2680

It definitely could. Can instances lock down remote communities?

@[email protected] maybe?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't see a way to simply lock it down as an admin. I see "Remove" and "Purge community" which both seem to be too nuclear, I assume they'd delete the comm history too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

That's unfortunate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it's doable but it might be necessary to become a mod first, which admins should be able to in remote communities as well iirc. it's just that their mod actions won't federate.

Would probably be enough

I really need to tell you how much I like your profile picture. Does Lemmy allow the use of GIF?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thanks! Yeah, Lemmy allows for GIFs. Maybe they shouldn't, because of people like me :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Oh no! They should. It is so cool. You stand out in conversation, not just because it is moving but because that is a very nice profil picture.

Oh got dammit! Are there any other instances you know of that's down for the count?

Also, fucking fuck GoDaddy, almost 5 grand now‽ Effectively ensures no one else can start an instance at that domain either >:(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

you shouldn't reuse domains on the fediverse for a new instance anyway, subdomains are fine though: https://programming.dev/comment/14173239

For a while people were still posting to the lemmy.world copy of [email protected] even though waveform.social died. So someone just made a "this community is dead" post.

edit: there used to be a lemmy.villa-straylight.social instance as well which had a cyberpunk community on it. The corpse: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

Well, yiffit and Lemmy.autism.place are going out soon, but that should be it. Maybe we should have a community with archived instances

While scrolling to find my posts on lemmy.film to crosspost elsewhere I checked in on some posts on [email protected] and apparently possumpat.io is shutting down soon to :(
