It was a Lemmy service that centered on law. Now it gives a 404.
The threadiverse is starving for small decentralized nodes with a theme focus. There are far too many general purpose nodes. It’s a shame the law node is gone. There is nothing to replace it.
Kind of. Federated nodes would have an incidental mirror of some of the comments. Bits and pieces might be scattered but some or most of it would be totally lost. I can still see the sopuli mirror of one of the communities here: https://sopuli.xyz/c/law@links.esq.social and there is no indication that links.esq.social disappeared. In fact I can still post there as federated nodes give the illusion that it exists.
This is the problem with the Lemmyverse. There is no mechanism to use a pool of nodes to recreate the content. And without an vital sign, people can be posting into a void black hole.
