  • This will need to be substantiated by someone who knows this for sure, but I believe the way this works is that when you search for a community that’s not on your home instance from in the app, the app asks your home instance if it knows any communities that match the search string. If your home instance has never loaded the community you’re looking for before that time, it won’t come up in search, because your home instance doesn’t have it federated yet.

    However, when you click on the community link, the app is asking your home instance to load from , and so your home instance will first federate with (read: subscribe to) that community, then return the results to your app.

    Your home instance now knows about that community, and should now be able to return it in search.




  • Yeah, if this isn’t possible, and it’s still in good enough condition to fix and fly, they disassemble the plane and ship it somewhere where it can be reassembled and fixed.

    Very unlikely that it’s fixable, though. Only heard of a few cases where it wasn’t more economical to just write it off after a landing like that.

    Another factor to consider is how much it’ll cost to actually pull that off, and if it’s not in a very accessible location (like, idk, fucking siberia or something), that adds to the cost of recovery.
