Should be fixed now. Try it again (clear your cache first).

Ugh thanks for letting me know, does it happen every time you click it? And would you say the problem has been less frequent overall?

I think I might have fixed it, let me know if you encounter it again.

The "user data" (comments, posts, votes, etc) that would be available to a hypothetical instance owned my Meta is already public for anyone, so not much we have control over there. "Defederating" essentially just means "blanket banning" a bunch of users at once.

Not a bad idea for the future!

We're aware thanks, something went wrong in the latest update, it'll be fixed soon.

Edit: fixed now

Lemmy seemed like an easier transition, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on the development of both.

Your definition of "old pc" is much nicer than mine. No we're not there yet! But likely within the next few months. Lemmy.world recently made this post which you may find educational.

Lower now that you've said it out loud

That depends! You can run an instance on an old PC for just yourself and some friends for next to nothing, but a bigger instance with lots of traffic can easily climb to hundreds per month or more. No idea where we'll end up when things slow down, but the subreddits this server represent currently have more users than the entire Lemmy-verse 😅

Counselor, I am happy to read this... and yet I am crying. Perhaps my emotion chip is malfunctioning? (thank you so much🖖)
