If so, should I edit all my posts/comments and update them to generic hosting links?
I’ll use postimages.org in the future to prevent something like this from happening again.
I would say use ai to generate you a script that download all the images in the instance
well, my instance makes a local copy of posted images… so when i moved bertstrips it uses my local copy of those images.
i guess it depends on where your communities end up
Jesus, so much to unpack there. I love it.
Shouldn’t they be federated permanently with other instances?
This depends on the settings of the other instance. Some instances copy images, others don’t.

Yea but the posts still exist on any other instance that was federated with OPs, right?

Okay!

Hmm I’m still a bit unclear. Because wouldn’t deleting the image be different than just the instance going down? Because with a deletion you’re actually pushing through a deletion request for federation. Whereas if your instance shut down it wouldn’t. The last federated copy of your comment/post/picture would be archived on the other instances you were federated with. I think?
