It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.

What content is there besides posts? Isn't federated content not only 'visible' from other instancez but also copied to there? Maybe you don't know either, i'm just figuring stuff out along the way.

Really just posts and comments. See I was under the impression that posts and comment threads copied across instances as well, but now I'm wondering if that's not the case?

Wait if lemme shuts down, do all the posts and comments vanish? This is even worse than reddit for archival.

Maybe? Unless the mods migrate that community to a new instance, I'm guessing so. I'm wagering this is the first time a sizable instance has shut down, so it'd seem we're all learning together.
