      One possibility is an instance shutting down. Many instance admins are good about giving lots of notice, but sometimes that doesn’t happen.

      In fact there has been at least one instance on the fediverse which the admin disappeared from the internet, and their instance just slowly degenerated until it stopped working. Were they hit bt a bus? Who knows.

        Big instances might want to have some contingency plans in place. This sounds like something we should all be aware of

      Using different accounts to route around and still access content at instances that defederated from your original account’s instance.

        You can still view content from instances that defederated from your instance as long as your instance didn’t block them.

            In my experience, yes. I can see BeeHaw’s content event though they defederated from my home instance a couple of days ago. I’ve also commented on some of their posts, which is weird…

              Your comments won’t show for beehaw or other instances, only people on your instance can see those comments.

      If say, someone in Beehaw wanted to interact with Lemmy.World, they’d have to make an account on Lemmy.World or some other instance that hasn’t defederated

      Lemmy is blocked by my workplace firewall, kbin isn’t. But I also want to use Jerboa.
