By starting a Lemmy instance a year and a half before Rexxit?
By not being prepared for it. It was setup with default communities, like technology for example (correct me if I’m wrong), but no plan to deal with those with moderation capabilities and levels that reach their own standard. To me it’s only making the entire experience untrustworthy and stunted. Somehow lemmy.world and others can deal with it without defederating others so that’s where I’ll go.
You can use your old backups as well to restore settings. The only thing that didn’t work for me was the theme, but it was an easy fix. Good to be back.
