So far Lemmy is vibing. Everyone here is excited and optimistic and willing to put up with a few rough spots to be part of something.

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

Your contributions won't vanish, I can still see comments from people from dead servers on Mastodon because it's cached on my server. The bigger issue is when you set up a new username on a new server, how can you show that you're the old person. So ideally pick a server that has policies in place about offline notices, multiple admins, a funding plan, backups, policies about Nazis, etc.

Not fully on Lemmy. While text posts are cached across all federated instances, medias such as images and videos aren't...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but media uploaded to a community from another instance is uploaded to the users' instance, not the instance of the community.

This may change in the future, and I hope so.
