I want to see a list for each popular server (e.g. the top 10 lemmy instances) and I want to see - for each instance - with whom they federate. How can I do this? Any sure-fire way to know if a instance like HexBear.net is being federated with lemmy.world? How do you know?
I'm pretty sure it sticks around forever, I clicked on a few without "software" or "verison" filled in at random and most 404'd or 503'd.
That makes sense. We wouldn't want the content to be deleted. I've seen there are a few communities where the original instance is now not functioning, but the content remains on this instance.
Exactly. I wouldn't want to lose !moviesandtv@lemmy.film even if we can effectively no longer post. For archival reasons.
