I still see some people posting to their local versions of the Lemmy.film communities

(!movies@lemm.ee for movie and TV shows discussions BTW)

What happens when someone posts to a local version of a community whose home instance no longer exists? I assume local users can see the post, but it doesn’t federate to any other instances?

I feel as though federated communities should automatically lock if the home instance closes down. Otherwise, users on other instances can continue posting with no knowledge that their posts aren’t being federated.
