It's not really gone. You can see it on the original server and it'll show up if you drop a link in the search. But I believe it just grabs new posts. It could overwhelm the server grabbing the complete history of followed accounts because it's storing a local copy of everything from all followed accounts. You could end up in storage hell pretty quickly.
Thanks for the reply. I guess "gone" isn't the right word but rather inaccessible. What do you mean by dropping a link in the search?
~~So, bad news off the top, I just checked and couldn't get it to work in Pixelfed.~~ But, in most server software if you search for a post url, it'll show the post even if it pre-dates your server's awareness of the account. It works in both Mastodon and Friendica, for example.
Edit: Not true. It works!
Too bad. I've been trying to follow the accounts I was following on my pixelfed.social account but I can only find the one account that has posted recently.
