Lets say I have an account on lemmy server A, and with my account I make a lemmy community. Some people post in it. Everything is cool. But for whatever reason the admin/owner of the lemmy server your lemmy community is on decides to ban you. What happens to the community you made? How does the lemmy software respond to it? Does your community get banned with you? Or does the community just get stuck without any admin and people can still post in it?

There are plenty of those same forums still in active use today which you could go back to. The problem they have which reddit solved is fragmentation. Of course, they solved it through centralization, which brought it's own set of problems that Lemmy now aims to solve. It seems like an elegant solution to me which gives the best of both worlds, but I guess we'll all get to see together how well it truly works.
