Is it possible or does it present difficulties with federation?
I’m asking because today Vlemmy seems dead and people are speculating it has something to do with losing the domain name. So I want to know if there is a possibility the same server could come up again under a different domain but keeping the same accounts and content stored or if they will need to set up a new server and thus it’s just better to move on to another instance.
Links break. Storage, functionality, local links don’t break.
Yes they do. At least with matrix, shit goes SUPER WRONG with the local database if you try to change your domain.
To the point that the only way to really change it is to purge the whole thing and start over.
Lemmy is not matrix though.
I guess we’re both making broad assumptions.
