My list of blocked porn communities is more than double my list of subscribed communities; reblocking would be the biggest pill.

Explain.

I agree that would be nice. Hopefully it is something that will eventually get added as a possibility, but I don’t know enough about the background workings to say if it is being considered or not.

If I understand the fediverse correctly, if the instance dies (meaning all the background servers are taken away), everything on that instance is gone; accounts, communities, posts, comments. Since the instance is the host, they are the ones holding the data; if they decide to stop, it’s gone.

However, the creator of the community and its members could create new accounts on another instance to rebuild the community.
