A little bit of computing and a little bit of neuroscience.

So so sorry to hear.
Otherwise, yea this doesn’t sound surprising. From my recent limited experience it seems like a system held together with duck tape.
Which is funny, because if the fear from govt is to prevent people from becoming professional “dole-bludgers”, making the system so hard to use that it requires special skills and experience is the wrong thing to do.
I’m sure there are all sorts of silly loop holes and bugs that plenty of people have learnt to exploit.

Well, I don’t think centralising everything on lemmy.world, especially communities, is a good idea.
Apart from the single point of failure issue, I would imagine that there’s an infrastructural issue caused by putting too many communities on one instance not unlike the load caused by a user with a huge amount of followers.
As a community is the source of “truth” it has to sync all the data to all the subscribers. Distributing this probably makes sense (??)
@marv99 no need to apologise!! All good!
I think I may have misunderstood you!
They did create an official substitute. It’s a whole separate instance at startrek.webpage. r/startrek, r/daystrom and r/risa have set up parallel communities there. I just created a lemmy account in the server too!
@marv99 I mean, there is no such thing as a corresponding community. There are just communities that may or may not have overlapping interests. Things are still too new and shifting for there to be established communities or pairs of communities.
From my understanding though, yes that’s an old or the oldest Star Trek community on lemmy. But that doesn’t mean it’s active.

Yea I don’t know the best approach to that. Either a separate server for managing IDs. Or you always a principal server that manages authentication for its platform and others within the trusted “circle”. And then, should the principal server fail, you can switch to another server as your principal. Hubzilla/Streams has some process like that AFAIK.
