@Cloudkid@lemmus.org This is where hosting your own instance is better as even things on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter won’t last forever as it only really stays till they can’t be bothered to keep the older stuff no one looks at intact, The only way to make sure things stay is by hosting it yourself and I really do hope it gets easier over time to host your own Fediverse Instance.
