Yes, but we're communicating on it where? If lemmy.world is down, why can we interact with each other, where is the info being stored?
@pelespirit @Madbrad200
The comments/posts stay in your local instance until the lemmy.world will be up again and then it will sychronise via ActivityPub again.
I'm not on works or world, but I see your 4m old comment. Maybe it works like file sharing where there are seeds and peers? And without seeds, we can still see some content?
Your instance is federated with those instances, so you see his content. Thats really all there is too it. He was able to comment since world is back up now
Well that makes more sense. That explains how you can see beehaw.org stuff and even comment but they never get updated. I think I might be understanding this stuff a little now, thanks.
