So there’s a possibility the instance I use will go offline. I’ve never had to think about this until now, but I want to choose a new instance and I’m wondering how this will affect things.

Certain instances have defederated from furry instances right? If I create an account on pawb.social for example, will I lose access to any particular communities? Is that a stable server running the latest version of Lemmy?

    Just remind me on this - if an instance like lemmy.ml has defederated yiffit, and I create an account on yiffit, would I still be able to see/interact with posts from on lemmy.ml communities? Or does it affect communication both ways?

    Ah thanks for confirming that the upload issue is more widespread. I still may consider migrating anyway, as the owner of my current instance has gone awol, which doesn’t bode well…

      No, you will not be able to interact with communities on lemmy.ml. You will only see communities and posts from before the defederation. I think you will still be able to interact with users on lemmy.ml on other instances though.

        Ahh thanks. I think Pawb would be a good alternative then. I might set up an account as a backup option, just in case my instance does suddenly go offline.
