Disappointed mostly. I think Idgaf about any other lemmy instances really.
Will try nostr but since I don’t like it as much, I can’t see myself using it as much and probably eventually either drifting around again or maybe spending more time on self improvement (diet/exercise, learning career stuff, learning survival skills, etc)

so, something to think about, a lot of instances have made backups of our stuff up to the point of defederation I think?
example: lemmy.world/c/freeforum@exploding-heads.com
lemmy.world/u/ihatetroons@exploding-heads.com

The images are not being federated. Only the posts.

got it - images will come through if hosted by a third party however (like catbox moe)

Yes

Ok, fair enough . But I’m not really sure where you’re going with this.
Do you mean just be extra extra careful about screen names/personal info and avoid getting doxxed? That we can still always find our old posts on other instances? something else?

well the other donky user pointed out that images wont carry over I guess, but text does I think and if pics are hosted by a third party they can be retrieved from there and will show up if the third party is still ok

Ah ok, so just meant not everything disappear when server goes offline. Yeah, there are a few things I probably still want but I also use the SingleFile browser addon (ff: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/single-file/ but they make for chrome also) to save important stuff like guides or instructions
