I wonder if civilization will last 12 years
It made me think: can a Lemmy instance be hosted on a local network.
Like if the global internet is down but we maintained a local network in the village. Can we use Lemmy or mastodon?
Maybe when we have a good weather we manage to connect to the next village, so can we connect to their instance at this moment ?
I don't need a social network in a village, I'll just step out of my house and yell.
Depends on how dense or spread out it is. If it's dense and everything is in one place you might not need anything more than just going outside.
If it is spread out though you may want communication methods other than mail and if people already have the computers and existing infrastructure (many places have cables for network and phone lines) to set up a local network then that might be the best option.
