Lemmy instances die twice (sh.itjust.works)

"They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."

I just realized that Lemmy instances are similar. For example, feddit.ch shut down last month, but some posts live on as they were federated with other instances. The original instance won't be entirely gone until (unless?) every instance that it was ever federated with is also gone.

iusearchlinux.fyi gone too. I'm glad feddit.ch at least announced this.

I just now noticed it was gone. Did it just vanish one day, or did its users at least have some hint?

edit: looks like it was a surprise: https://lemmyverse.link/mander.xyz/post/12163154

Where did they announce that care to share the post ?

And that's why it is recommended to use instances where they have a Matrix or a Mastodon channel so that you can communicate outside of Lemmy

I don’t understand how they didn’t use .btw instead of .fyi for that instance.

No sure if this is a serious question, but .btw is not a TLD while .fyi is.
