Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 3 days agoMastodon handles it pretty decently where it automatically gets your followers to follow your new account, there’s no reason why communities/groups couldn’t do the same thing

Individual users’ follows are not very useful in the threadiverse compared to backlog of content.

The historical backlog isn’t going anywhere. It will still be viewable on other instances.
For example here’s an old thread from a community on vlemmy.net, an instance that disappeared more than a year ago.

Yes, but people can no longer engage with that content. It creates the appearance of relatively dead communities.

Yeah and that kinda looks bad at first glance. Just clicking on what seems like the biggest community (most subscribers) and seeing that it’s actually dead (instance went down or the community was migrated elsewhere).
