This again is about promoting applications. Please include a link to the source code of the application at the top. If the application is hosted on F-Droid, a single link to the F-Droid page is OK, as it includes all relevant information.

Because social.fossware.space, where fossdroid is hosted, is down and has been for almost a month. lemmy.dbzer0.com has the old posts from fossdroid, while lemmy.ml doesn't.

This comment makes me curious about my ignorance on how the fediverse works. Suppose then that two users of the same instance such as lemmy.dbzero.com see a community as it is reflected in their instance, but the community as such is not accessible because the server is down, can the users of the same instance interact from their version of the community of another instance that is hosted on a down server?

[โ€“] LIE 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, that's exactly right, that's how we are still able to interact here. Posts and comments are shown to other users of the same instance like normal, the only difference being that the posts and comments can't be synced to the original community at social.fossware.space because it's down.
