29 days away from reality is therapy.
There’s a tiny town in northern California called Downieville that my wife and I love to visit. It’s maybe 200 people, sits on the convergence of two decent sized rivers, and there is pretty much no cell service. Even just a week of sitting by that river is enough to fully recharge me and not want to break everything for at least 4 months.
Really just posts and comments. See I was under the impression that posts and comment threads copied across instances as well, but now I’m wondering if that’s not the case?
As a virgo, this tracks.
I ain’t asking lol
I don’t think that’s how it works though. I believe once the server shutdown, our old profiles vanished with it, aside from posts and comments made on other instances. I can search my old name ([email protected]) and some stuff comes up, but clicking on my username results in an error.
It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.
Edit: so I can see that some users were able to move their profiles while retaining their [user]@lemm.ee, which becomes [newlemmyurl]/u/[user]@lemm.ee, so, shit. It also appears that communities were able to migrate in the same manner. It’s all good, too late now I suppose. Hopefully the lemme.ee admins have backups and someone can take up the mantle.
Wait really? I know there were tools to move subscriptions and whatnot, but I didn’t see anything about being able to move comments and posts across.
Captain Couch-Fucker himself, or maybe pooty
Much obliged. I’ve actually been here about 2 years since the Reddit API fiasco but was originally on lemm.ee, and well, yeah lol. I’d wager that’s the bulk of new accounts for the last few weeks.
Well damn, Jackie, I can’t control the weather
It’s where the moths get their chill
The picture yeah, but I remember my dad and a lot of others had that same style of glasses (though with thinner frames) well into the mid 90s.
The 90s were weird, and these style glasses everyone wore didn’t help.
Yup, I have my Unifi gear for the automated allocation like you said, though I think pretty much every SOHO manufacturer does this to some degree these days.
Maybe? Unless the mods migrate that community to a new instance, I’m guessing so. I’m wagering this is the first time a sizable instance has shut down, so it’d seem we’re all learning together.
