If a lemmy server is completely wiped, then installed from scratch again without the existing database, how does that work with existing remotely posted comments and federation? (lemmy.fail)

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?

Critters or Ghoulies? Never watched the latter but the vhs tape cover had one coming out of the toilet:

My dad got me a poster of mogwai after watching the movie and attached it on the ceiling directly above my bed. Sure, he was the friendly one but fuck that shit! 10/10 dad humour.

In its defence, many scared stoners were also casualties of that movie.

What password manager do you recommend? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I’m using it since doing the opposite and it works great on iOS. Not sure if it was different a while ago but you can set it as your auto fill password manager.

Admins, we're about to have a really bad SPAM problem when Lemmy removes captcha support in v.0.18 - You ALL have a responsibility to communicate back to lemmy devs to try to stop it. in c/technology@beehaw.org

I’m surprised some large instances aren’t using Cloudflare. It takes a few minutes to setup and the added benefit of caching alone is worth it. Let alone the bot/ddos protection.
