Is it possible or does it present difficulties with federation?
I’m asking because today Vlemmy seems dead and people are speculating it has something to do with losing the domain name. So I want to know if there is a possibility the same server could come up again under a different domain but keeping the same accounts and content stored or if they will need to set up a new server and thus it’s just better to move on to another instance.
I don’t have specific product knowledge but if they have the data it should be trivial to start the server under a different name.
Links will of course be broken.
Other instances should notice the old instance gone and discard data as appropriate.
Other instances will get to know the new instance like any other new instance.
