Comment on Otome Games (again, because original instance went down)

This is an issue with the way communities currently federated. If the host instance goes down, users can continue posting to their local versions of the community, blissfully unaware that their posts are no longer being federated.

…huh. I guess that explains the lack of traction my last post on bertstrips@feddit.de got. TIL.

Yup, that’s why. You can even tell approximately when feddit.de went down by observing the sharp drop in engagement on the posts.

I’ve been trying to grow !bertstrips@lemm.ee, which already existed prior to the death of feddit.de, but was dormant community. Please feel free to subscribe and post there!

Our little discussion here prompted me to post to https://sh.itjust.works/c/bertstrips@feddit.de, directing people to !bertstrips@lemm.ee. Obviously this post won’t federate, so you might want to consider posting something similar to https://slrpnk.net/c/bertstrips@feddit.de.

  I just dropped a few of my favorites on .ee. I see a post on .de from a couple of months ago floating a move to feddit.org, but it looks like nobody followed through.

    Thanks! Nice to have someone else posting.

    I saw that as well and considered it, but since a community already existed on lemm.ee, it seemed simpler to just use that one.
