I don’t know enough about how all this works yet to specifically and accurately answer your question.
OPs question had to do with Piracy@lemmy.ml. If I go to the communities I’m subscribed to, I can see both Piracy “subs” (I believe called an instance here). So if I click on the link to that other one (Piracy@lemmy.ml) I still see older posts. However, when I’m there, the full link is “https://lemmy.one/c/piracy@lemmy.ml”.
So I’m assuming you’re saying that means I’m looking at a cached instance? Although, @lemann says below that “The community isn’t removed, it still exists at https://lemmy.ml/c/piracy@lemmy.ml but not https://lemmy.ml/c/piracy although it’s the same instance.” I can go to that link and see newer active posts, but when I try to subscribe to it (by searching for “!piracy@lemmy.ml”) I can’t seem to locate it the way I have others that have been outside my instance.
I don’t plan on going back to Reddit, but this fragmentation is rather frustrating at the moment.
I still see it, but the last post was from 8 days ago, and the one previous to that was 13 days ago.
Via lemmy.ml or your instance?
Seems to be deleted on lemmy. Ml
And still cached on other instanced.
So effectively it got removed.
