When I first new about lemmy, lemm.ee was among the biggest and I created an account on it but didn’t use it much and didn’t knew that the instance was deleted until recently. So help me understand where content is stored:
-
When a post is created, is it only stored on the original instance, or copied to every other one?
-
Do all federated servers get a copy, or get posts from other server when user demands them?
-
When an instance shuts down, is its content gone forever, or do other instances keep copies?
-
If the original server is gone, what happens to edits or deletions?
-
Is there any kind of “shared” storage in the Fediverse, or network that store everything?
-
Could one still access all lemm.ee content now? Or post in it’s communities?
No complaints, and thank you very much for making it.
The only thing I can think of is when I open the app I’ll sometimes see a post I’m interested in…but the feed will refresh, and I can’t find the post again. It’s not common the first post is one I’m interested in, I just don’t always remember to not look before it refreshes - so it’s mildly annoying. Not a huge deal.
