I know in my heart that it probably won’t last, but I have such an awesome feeling of a clean slate with Lemmy. It feels so much more like the old internet before it just became a shopping cart. I don’t know how long we can enjoy this brave new world, but I am here for it.
Depends on how instances decide to operate, really. I can still see content from Beehaw, just can’t interact with the users there or post myself without going through that instance.
So with that example, creating a new instance doesn’t mean all existing content has to be inaccessible.
