    If you post a new comment, it won’t leave your instance, but all the old posts/comments will still be there.

    Could you clarify this for me? Say I follow a community on instance A with an instance B account. Then the community is mirrored on B, including comments. I comment on a post. Then is my comment stored on both A and B?

      Yeah, exactly. Let’s say you’re on instance B and I’m on instance C, and we both follow a community on instance A. You comment on a post, it will be stored on your instance B, and sent to instance A. Instance A will share it with my instance C because I follow the community, and it will be mirrored on all 3 instances. If instance A goes down, or doesn’t exist anymore, the old post/comments will still be there on instance B and C. If you leave new comments after instance A goes down, they won’t make it to my instance C. That’s my understanding at least, hope that makes sense!

        Ah, OK, thanks. Nice with so much redundancy!

        Kinda odd that you’d still be able to comment, even if the original is unavailable, but also nice.

        Say A comes up again. Will comments I made on B while it was down be pushed over?
