Deleted something I shouldn’t have. I learned my lesson, but I had to revert to a backup that was about 3 days old. My bad.

Shit happens, thank you for reverting it and communicating it. :)
Hey, can you add Spanish back as a language option? That’s another thing that got reset.
We all make mistakes, thank you for being transparent. 💖
Anyway us other instances can help? We still have copies of the content (except for images).
We should also have the activitypub objects that we’ve received cached in our database.
Edit: it seems that my instance fetches the latest posts instead of using its cache when loading a midwest community. But still, we should have some content in the activitypub table.
I’m not sure what I could do with it unfortunately. If it can recover itself, that would be awesome.
I don’t think there’s an easy way to “replay” them. But in theory, you should be able to take the entries in that table related to midwest social from any other instance and start broadcasting them anew. The remote instances will reject them because to them they are duplicates, but you would be able to recover lost content.
Now I realize this is far more complex, but in theory it should be possible to create a tool that does this specifically for these scenarios.
I’m sorry this happened to you :(
