Hey darkstar. I’m still finding stuff out too - I can see the moderation logs from some of the subscribed instances this instance is federated with, so have some idea of what is going on. If someone is banned on one of these instances, they are banned here too.

If the server goes down, I dont expect it to be for more than a minute or two. Technically, the server is running in a docker container and might go offline if the container is removed and rebuilt, say as the result of me pulling the latest update down. The database is in a different container and so isnt affected by this, so there isnt any data loss. At worst, you might be logged out. Most of the backend stuff, i.e. email, is working now/

Also, this server is unlikely to go down for any reason other than updates - i’ve got a years worth of credits with the host platform so unless our usage goes up drastically, we’re all set.

You may need to search for those communities first, it does take a while when you first search for them so some patience is required. If you can let me know examples I can take look at it. Some communities marked NSFW might not show, but I’m open to reviewing the rules. As a community, its only fair this instance decides its own rules!
