I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

I'm really happy here.

Like many, I left Reddit after seeing so many great developers get shafted by one arrogant figure with a bunch of investors pulling the strings

Once I wrapped my head around finding an instance, I realised how interconnected the whole platform is and how much variety of content there is already. There's a few smaller communities missing but I'm sure they will be here in time. I may even start one or two to get it going.

I don't know how backups and longevity comes into it. Is that down to site owners? I worry we may lose a block of content one day with a server going offline.

It may be alarming having a whole bunch of people rock up from a sinking ship but I hope the majority of users dropping Reddit can bring even more great content to this platform.

Anyway, short version: thanks for having me, it's great!

An instance can crash, close down or somehow disappear at any time, and if that happens all the users, communities and content in those communities from that instance is lost forever. Right?

I would guess that the copy of the community that this instance cached (starting after the first subscription to that community by a user if this instance) might persist. Anything from before that time would be gone, at least from your perspective.

This is my interpretation but I don't know for sure.
