As previously discussed here https://feddit.de/post/1285536 , I am trying to properly decommission my private instance. My main issue: even though I unsubscribed from all communities, the server still gets a lot of POST requests with likes, comments, etc. So how do I tell all the instances to stop sending announcements? I also don’t want to go the hacky way of bogus DNS entries, as that won’t be good for the other instances. This also continues if I simply shut down the stack, just resulting in a lot of 404s.

Is there a manual for this I missed in all the googling?

    There is a PR on GitHub that implements checks towards all the federated instances and those who doesn’t respond for a few days will be marked as stale and the instance will stop sending updates to them
