      How does that work? Is it because you’re on a different instance? I’m genuinely curious, I am still trying to use my smooth little brain to understand how this federation thing works.

            Absolutely amazing. Not only that, in the homepage, I just click “All” and “New” and posts keep popping up in real time too, it’s super responsive. Gone are the days where I had to refresh to see new posts!

              They will come back. The websocket code that powers it is being replaced with more scaleable plain HTTP code as I understand it. There are also several bugs with the auto refresh freaking out at times, resulting in old posts filling your feed.

      I just wanted to verify something. If an instance goes down, what happens to the communities created in that instance? Might be a stupid question, but I’m still not 100% I get how this all works.

        All hosted & federated posts are still archived by the instances that recieved them but the community obvsiously can’t accept new federated posts & comments until/if it goes live again. We should have archiver accounts/bots on important communities to not lose knowledge created on those communities, it’s like adding a voice recorder to a telephone line - you keep what you record.
