    I agree. In the days immediately following the APIcalypse, people attempted to move all their favourite niche communities to Lemmy, but the site’s active userbase isn’t there yet for that kind of content - much to my displeasure: I was only active in two/three niche communities back when I was a Reddit user, but they are pretty much nonexistent here, so I’m forced to include more generic communities in my Lemmy feed to keep it from drying up.

    EDIT: Oh, and @PugJesus@lemmy.world has kept a flow of material to !fallout@lemmy.world.

      PugJesus and The_Picard_Maneuver are single-handedly keeping half of Lemmy afloat.

  I can’t DNS-resolve sffa.community, either on IPv4 or IPv6. Google’s DNS root can’t see it either:

  $ host -t a sffa.community 8.8.8.8
  Using domain server:
  Name: 8.8.8.8
  Address: 8.8.8.8#53
  Aliases: 
  
  Host sffa.community not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
  
  $ host -t aaaa sffa.community 8.8.8.8
  Using domain server:
  Name: 8.8.8.8
  Address: 8.8.8.8#53
  Aliases: 
  
  Host sffa.community not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
  
  $
  

  It clearly existed at one point, because lemmy.world has local copies of some stuff from a year back:

  lemmy.world/c/sffgaming@sffa.community?dataType=P…

  But I think that the instance is gone now.

    Oh, that’s sad. No point in staying subscribed, then.
