  • False, you get links to the other posts, of which you posted a screenshot, but each post is handled as being completely separate. If you are in the subscribed, local or all feeds, you would see all of these posts separately.

    I understand your frustration, however these can be multiple posts but to different communities with varying focuses and moderation styles.

    Simply consolidating all the comments in one introduces its own problems.

    Edit: I suppose I shouldn’t be answering this. Kinda forgot the thread I’m in. I guess I asked something as well.


    If your instance was federated with it when it existed then your instance automatically has its own backup of it is as far as I understand things. I would like clarity on this however. My instance is a few days older than this account. Therefore the smaller instances that have already died are already duplicated locally here at sh.itjust.works. I can still view vlemmy, waveform.social, lemmy.film, (etc.) communities/posts as essentially an archive.

    What I’d like to know is if I linked a sh.itjust.works link to one of those threads could a user of a more recent instance load the content?

    I’m not sure what point it would ultimately serve as with the host instance being offline nothing could federate out between us anyway.


  • Users want the convenience of a single entity that floats around the different instances. They want to interact with community A on instance B and also commini X on instance Y.

    I’m not sure I’m following what you’re describing here because I feel like I do have that convenience?

    Disclosure: I have forgotten about my Beehaw account long ago.
