    Lemmy must have been a pretty weak system if it could fall apart this easily.

    Here I was hoping we could do better than Reddit.

      The Fediverse does not work the same way as IRC.
      Severing the connection between two servers only severs the connection between those two. It does not split the network into two separate networks.

      Everyone else, remains connected to each other just as always, because all messages always travel directly from instance to instance. The only ones affected at all are those two whose connection has been severed.
