Thanks for the transparency, sad to hear as always to see a country specific instance to go unmanaged
Edit: I guess a few people will miss !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl from @freamon@endlesstalk.org
New home: !trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org
Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.
Just subscribed, good to see you there.
I might migrate !casualconversation@lemmy.world there too in the coming weeks
Thank you!
With the refrigeration, which do you consider the canonical community to follow now? You mod both, right? Are you going to keep the bit posting to both?
Love what re-federation got auto-corrected to.
The canonical community is the one at feddit.nl, since it has all the history and I don't really think it's .nl's fault that someone used it to attack .world.
The bot's due to make one more post at endlesstalk (to announce that the problem is over) and then I'll think about what to do with the community (probably delete it)
You can still go to the instance and read it, subscribe to it from a non-defederated instance, or even create an account there directly.
Let's also hope it's only temporary.
That assumes that it's not abandoned like rammy.site was, if you don't know rammy.site was a general purpose Lemmy instance a while back which was abandoned by its admin and then some right-wing grifters decided to hijack it and use it to spread hatred. Similarly to this situation they also got defederated, though much more widely then in this case.
The biggest problem is that because they were abandoned eventually the server crashed or the VPS got discontinued or something and now it's gone. If you go to the URL now you get SSL errors and for a while it was showing up as
410 gone. So with Feddit.nl even though you can go and view the contents on it right now if it's abandoned it will likely meet a very similar fate in the near future. Meaning that the community is on it are doomed and will either die or have to migrate elsewhere.
