I have been thinking about it for some time and I’m concerned that if a big instance like lemmy.ml goes down does the content hosted on lemmy.ml will be deleted too or a copy of the content will be available on other instances?
that’s quite literally what happened here on kbin at least. we had some old posts from lemmy instances before the influx of people happened and defederation stopped. the subs were “dead” and didn’t update from others. once federation started up again, everything got synced/updated. I imagine the same would happen if the host instance went down for whatever reason.

Oh interesting! Thanks for the info!
