Lemmy instances die twice (sh.itjust.works)

"They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."

I just realized that Lemmy instances are similar. For example, feddit.ch shut down last month, but some posts live on as they were federated with other instances. The original instance won't be entirely gone until (unless?) every instance that it was ever federated with is also gone.

iusearchlinux.fyi gone too. I'm glad feddit.ch at least announced this.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don’t understand how they didn’t use .btw instead of .fyi for that instance.

[–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No sure if this is a serious question, but .btw is not a TLD while .fyi is.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

And that's why it is recommended to use instances where they have a Matrix or a Mastodon channel so that you can communicate outside of Lemmy

[–] Legend@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Where did they announce that care to share the post ?

[–] Deebster@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I just now noticed it was gone. Did it just vanish one day, or did its users at least have some hint?

edit: looks like it was a surprise: https://lemmyverse.link/mander.xyz/post/12163154

Sekiro fediverse?

[–] kryllic@programming.dev 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

vlemmy.net/c/ksp :(

You can't hang onto the past forever. It's future time.

Heck yeah I'm ready

I hope that Lemmy server open source software allows extensions or plugins that enable those that run instances to have the option to automatically and continually back them up to the permaweb blockchain Arweave. What do you think about that?

Does Lemmy instance server software already allow for plugins or extensions to be utilized in a rather frictionless or efficient way?

Limitless peace

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have you thought about finding a way to make that happen yourself?

[–] MichaelTen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes i have. I might even have a plan

I still see some people posting to their local versions of the Lemmy.film communities

(!movies@lemm.ee for movie and TV shows discussions BTW)

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What happens when someone posts to a local version of a community whose home instance no longer exists? I assume local users can see the post, but it doesn't federate to any other instances?

I feel as though federated communities should automatically lock if the home instance closes down. Otherwise, users on other instances can continue posting with no knowledge that their posts aren't being federated.

Correct

Agree with your other point too

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

That just sounds like forums. Sounds kind of nice

[–] rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have to wonder about the instance I am on regarding this.

But also, is that quote from Coco? I've watched that with my niece a lot but never all the way thru. Seems like something that would have been said in the underworld or whatever.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've seen various versions attributed to Irving Yalom, Banksy, and others.

[–] rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Ooh some good new people to look in to, thanks! Never heard if Yalom, only know Banksy for art.
