Lemmy could do a lot better job of showing that a community is on a dead instance. Here’s an issue about warning when posting to defederated instances, which could be considered the same issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2680
I don’t see a way to simply lock it down as an admin. I see “Remove” and “Purge community” which both seem to be too nuclear, I assume they’d delete the comm history too.
I’m pretty sure it’s doable but it might be necessary to become a mod first, which admins should be able to in remote communities as well iirc. it’s just that their mod actions won’t federate.
Are there any other instances you know of that’s down for the count?
For a while people were still posting to the lemmy.world copy of [email protected] even though waveform.social died. So someone just made a “this community is dead” post.
edit: there used to be a lemmy.villa-straylight.social instance as well which had a cyberpunk community on it. The corpse: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
While scrolling to find my posts on lemmy.film to crosspost elsewhere I checked in on some posts on [email protected] and apparently possumpat.io is shutting down soon to :(
Sorry, but it’s the same than for feddit.org, they went down like 2 years ago…
I even posted about it 4 months ago! https://lemmy.world/post/20273021

It definitely could. Can instances lock down remote communities?
@[email protected] maybe?

That’s unfortunate

Would probably be enough
I really need to tell you how much I like your profile picture. Does Lemmy allow the use of GIF?
Thanks! Yeah, Lemmy allows for GIFs. Maybe they shouldn’t, because of people like me :)
Oh no! They should. It is so cool. You stand out in conversation, not just because it is moving but because that is a very nice profil picture.
Oh got dammit! Are there any other instances you know of that’s down for the count?
Also, fucking fuck GoDaddy, almost 5 grand now‽ Effectively ensures no one else can start an instance at that domain either >:(
you shouldn’t reuse domains on the fediverse for a new instance anyway, subdomains are fine though: https://programming.dev/comment/14173239

Well, yiffit and Lemmy.autism.place are going out soon, but that should be it. Maybe we should have a community with archived instances

It is indeed
