Testing instance and wiping data
I am wanting to test things and contribute back to lemmy's codebase, and to do that I want to run an instance
I have had no issue setting up an instance, but I want to make sure the things I test / change are not going to cause issues for the fediverse
For example, if I federate a remote instance and then wipe my DB (while keeping the same URL), will that other instance be able to handle the change?
Is there a best practice for this that I should follow?

In the source code of LemmyNet/lemmy there is a docker-compose file for setting up multiple instances trough docker that can federate with each other. That is a better practice then federating with other pruduction instances.
