Lemmy.ml is back up! Apologies for the downtime. (lemmy.ml)

Sometime early this morning, our database started having issues, most likely due to a disk corruption issue.

Unfortunately the postgres database was unrecoverable, and we had to restore from a nightly backup, so a few hours of posts and comments will be missing.

Apologies again for the downtime, and for the disruption.

How does lemmy federation work in this case? Conceivably after being restored from backup the lemmy.ml instance could see those few hours of lost history as federated to other lemmy instances and resync it back as the host instance. Obv I'm vastly oversimplifiying things but what happens today?
