MODERATORS
 

Do they get adopted by other instances? Are they still accessible from other instances? Can you still post on them from another instance?

Edit: From my understanding every instance that deals with a community has a cached copy. Will that copy disappear after a certain time, because it can't phone to home anymore?

When that's the case, wouldn't it be nice to be able to migrate communities, so when an adminndecides to quit an instance, those communities that want to move can arrange that move.

I agree that would be nice. Hopefully it is something that will eventually get added as a possibility, but I don't know enough about the background workings to say if it is being considered or not.

I can't imagine that archiving and instance migration aren't on the hub roadmap, but they're probably well beyond the horizon.

Nascent tech rarely prioritizes development for contingencies like it's own decay/demise.

Bad mojo. 😆
