      How are communities affected by such outages? Do they stop federating, but people can still see what other people from their own instance post?

          If you can at least post text, you can at least tell people where to migrate to. Doesn’t seem like that big of an issue, but not being able to migrate all of the post history (AFAIK) is unfortunate (hopefully something is done to fix that shortcoming).

          I can see at least one feddit.de community via web browser, so do you meant just the feddit.de web interface stopped working, but people on other instances still can see it? Or is it broken in ways other than simply being able to see the posts?

              Viewing from my instance. Doesn’t really seem like a big deal as long as the original content is still viewable from other instances, including viewing old account’s history.
