Just asking as I did exactly that and it kind of seems like it works? I would have thought there would have been some kind of checksum/key etc…

The only issue I’m really running into is that it says subscribe pending on some communities when I try to subscribe but I’m assuming that’s due to being overloaded etc…

Is there anything major that I’m overlooking?

Note: The server is personal so hijacking existing usernames isn’t an issue but I’m assuming it would be if it was populated?

    So this partly happened on midwest.social, when the admin reverted to a three-day old backup. Other servers that had already cached comments from that time could still see them; those of us on the home server could not. I checked with my alt account.
