If the instance I started my community on shuts down, then the whole community is gone. Is there anything I can do as a mod to prepare for this so I can transfer everything onto a new instance? Or is everything lost if my instance shuts down?
If an instance shuts down, there’s still cached copies of the community out there in the fediverse.
Only on instances where at least one user has subscribed from that instance
Setup your own instance (don’t even need to allow other members), create the community there. Then just create some alt accounts on other instances that you think would be interested in your community. Subscribe to your community from those instances to at least get your stuff to appear. Than hope for the best.
Oh so that will push the content to the ALL feed on the other instances right?
