As previously discussed here https://feddit.de/post/1285536 , I am trying to properly decommission my private instance. My main issue: even though I unsubscribed from all communities, the server still gets a lot of POST requests with likes, comments, etc. So how do I tell all the instances to stop sending announcements? I also don’t want to go the hacky way of bogus DNS entries, as that won’t be good for the other instances. This also continues if I simply shut down the stack, just resulting in a lot of 404s.

Is there a manual for this I missed in all the googling?

    There is no way at the moment but to unsubscribe from all communities before stopping the instance. There is a bug ticket open at the moment.

      I tried that. Even after unsubscribing from everything I still get the announcement traffic. Which might als be a problem as the instance is on 0.17.4, while lemmy.world (which is sending most of them) is on the 8.18.1 RC train.
