I think you need Lemmy.zip working for comments from different instances to sync under Lemmy.zip community posts.
Yeah, I hadn't realized that but you're right. I originally come from the old dead kbin.social instance. I just checked an old community and I can see the posts, but new comments there don't propagate to other instances.
I wonder if there's any solution to that. Lemmy admins can move threads between communities, but I don't know if that works across instances. I wonder if a whole community from a dead instance could be moved to another instance by mass-moving all threads.
I think it is more of a limitation of activitypub and DNS. Any work around for this would be cutting out the original server which would likely be a major security risk.
Honestly what it should do is warn users when a instance is down and maybe even lock the community if it is without a local mod for to long. Maybe it could warn after is it down for a hour and then lock after 6 hours.
