Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

With the defederation active, how has it affected your subscriptions? (beehaw.org)

Now that we're no longer linked to lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works we can't subscribe to their communities any more.

How affected were your subscriptions? How many of your subs stopped working?

My subs were mostly beehaw and lemmy.world so I'm looking for new stuff. :)

Do you have some tips for interesteing communities on other instances?

We really just need a way to migrate accounts (with post histories, etc.) from one instance to another. I know it's been a hotly requested topic; hopefully it gets added at some point.

I wonder how that would work if an instance gets abruptly shut down. Maybe each time you make an account you get a 'recovery key' that you can link to your new account on a new instance, thereby taking ownership of your old posts (or at least the ones that got federated out of your old instance).
