What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down?

Reply in thread

nobody outside of your instance will see anything you post there

So you are saying that if let's say a user from lemmy.world makes a post to the post-shutdown lemm.ee community, only users within lemmy.world can see the content? Did I understand that correctly? Basically each instance has a "copy of lemm.ee's community, and lemm.ee` is acting as the main distributor of events between these "isolated communities".

Is there any indication for the lemmy.world people to notice that the instance hosting the community is gone? Wouldn't there be cases where users continue posting to a community who's instances have shutdown, without realizing that they are not visible outside?

every Lemmy instance stores copies of new data

What about the old data? Are they also stored retroactively once the link happens?

And about the linking, from what I gather, (taking your example) as long as any one user from lemmy.world from retrieves posts from lemm.ee, or if they subscribe to it, the "link" will happen. Is that correct?

Is there anyway to verify that the data is persisted on lemmy.world? As long as the post/community is visible right now from lemmy.world, would it be indication that it will be there even after lemm.ee shuts down?

Basically, I am mainly concerned whether my previous content on lemm.ee will be persisted.

what you wrote didn’t say that the first gym you encounter is Brock

It's a bit complex of a construction for the correction.

My idea was that it is a composite of 2 statements which makes it factually incorrect.

the player tackles the Gyms in the order they encounter them

starts with beating Brock

These statements together, implies that the first gym encountered is Brock.

But point taken, not sure why I didn't just say that the first gym encountered was Brock's. It feels a bit round-about now that I think about it. I've improve the OP accordingly, thanks for the feedback.

What's wrong with it?

I heard that a large swath of people were advocating for spreading out activity across instances, rather than bandwagon-ing on lemmy.world.

Is there some issues with lemm.ee specifically? I selected it arbitrarily based on reliability and popularity.

EDIT: ahhh... I see it now....
