I'm not sure how possible that even is, with the way federation works.

Though some of the larger Lemmy instances have disabled downvoting.
Media from users of lemmy.ml won't load. You wouldn't be able to subscribe to communities on lemmy.ml. But I think every other instance would show cached data and hold any new comments/posts/votes to sync when lemmy.ml comes back up. I'm not sure how long that cache is kept.
It doesn't really. I'm viewing this post from my instance, which has saved a copy of this post from lemmy.ml
Me viewing this post doesn't hit lemmy.ml at all, although making this comment will.
Hmm, was able to view it on mine after putting the URL (https://kbin.social/m/linux) into my instance's search bar. But it doesn't seem to show any posts. Normally upon discovering a community lemmy should bring in the top 20 posts.
Welp time to make a few fake accounts

Wait I'm not there either anymore. I was. Why not?
Copy the URL and paste it into the search bar of your instance. That will force your instance to "Discover" it. It might say no results but go back to the community page then search the name again
What was stopping people on reddit? You could make /r/Tech, /r/Technology, /r/TechNews, etc
It's a bit muddy right now but a clear winner for each topic will win out and become "the" place for that topic. Give it time, let people figure things out.
Me too. Gonna close registrations at about 100 users. I don't want this to get expensive but I'll contribute what I can
Eventually one will become the biggest/most successful. Give it a bit of time.
Same thing that made, for example, /r/technology bigger than /r/tech on reddit.
