   After a server crash I lost the ostatus_source table and had to restore it from a one month old backup. It looks like this table contain all users and groups to which my status messages should be send to. What does this mean for all users which subscribed to my account after the backup was created? Will they no longer receive my messages and what could I do about it? !gnusocial

     Huh, I don't think that should do anything actually. Honestly I don't know why it's there at all. The comment in the source code (by Brion Vibber) says: "Save a remote notice source record; this helps indicate how trusted we are."
     
     ...but the data is never actually used anywhere. (and it can be inferred anyway from the ordinary user profile stored with the notice ID)
