Lemmy as a whole not being hurt even if some domains are gone is the entire point of being decentralized. But yeah, it’s really bad that communities made there will also be gone as it is now.

How does Mastodon do it differently?
You can migrate to another instance with all your followers very easily in Mastodon.
I can see Lemmy comms being able to do the same and it’s already been opened as an issue on the GitHub
