      That doesn’t matter to fediverse software. Any new instance on hexbear.net would have errors when trying to federate with other instances, and it probably wouldn’t be able to do so at all. But even if it did manage it, what are you expecting to do to mitigate the errors that arise from other instances referencing users/threads/posts/comments/communities/modlogs that existed on the old instance, but do not exist on the new one?

      • referencing users/threads/posts/comments/communities/modlogs that existed on the old instance, but do not exist on the new one

        Yeah, that’s what I was talking about. It would be a different instance that doesn’t have the same database as the original one.
