โฒ 560 โผ Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing (yiffit.net) submitted 3 years ago by Wander@yiffit.net to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world 156 comments fedilink hide all child comments
[โ] jawknee530@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (3 children) There are a ton of Lemmy instances that all communicate with each other and each instance is ran on hardware by different owners. So if one instance goes to shit your account will still work on all the other ones. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] s38b35M5@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) So if one instance goes to shit your account will still work on all the other ones. My understanding is that (at present anyway) since accounts are not federated, your account on that "gone to shit" instance will be gone. Your content will still be on many federated instances, but not your account. That would be lost. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago Yeah, one thing Lemmy needs to solve is account migration. Instead of creating a new account on a new instance you move your existing account from one instance to another. It won't save the account if the instance is already removed, but it at least gives an option to move if you feel like there's a better instance for you. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] CliveRosfield@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Ah... dope. So it's currently just running through donations I presume. Another dumb question: If an instance owner goes rogue and just nukes it are your posts gone too or is it archived somewhere? permalink fedilink source parent [โ] GalacticRobot@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) So if a Lemmy instance goes down, all of the communities and comments go down with it? Seems almost worst than having a CEO? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] CliveRosfield@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Seems like the saving grace is anyone can either start or move to a different lemmy instance whenever. It's not like someone can just host their own copy of Reddit if spez ever went nuclear. permalink fedilink source parent
