It will keep happening, but in the Fediverse, it will be moving to other instances instead. The fediverse will be a bunch of defederation/federation wars.
As it should be, no single point of failure.
While this is true, if anyone uses a Lemmy instance that eventually goes away, it is likely they will have lost their post history forever. That kind of thing is pretty annoying. I get that their comments would still be out there, but it's still not ideal.
Indeed. Export and migration are still something pending for Lemmy, as is GDPR compliance (export, rectification, erasure of data).
Yeah, to me that's crazy that they have two full time devs working on it, and it's been around for two years, yet it's not GDPR compliant yet.
