What happens when someone posts to a local version of a community whose home instance no longer exists? I assume local users can see the post, but it doesn't federate to any other instances?
I feel as though federated communities should automatically lock if the home instance closes down. Otherwise, users on other instances can continue posting with no knowledge that their posts aren't being federated.
Correct
Agree with your other point too
That just sounds like forums. Sounds kind of nice
