What happens to the communities and posts from those communities. Are they archived and accessible, or do they disappear once the instance goes down?

MODERATORS
I’m now on a few different instances. I was not expecting do have to do something like this, but I understand.
Thank you very much to the admins and mods of lemm.ee. I was on there for at least a year or so, and I will definitely miss the open federation they had.
We should probably start compiling a megathread.
That's a very good idea.
Brilliant idea
I am reborn 🙌
Like a beautiful phoenix, you rise again from the ashes!
Welcome back
I think my new instance won't appreciate me migrating FuckableCars here...
Is lemm.ee dying?
Yes. It’s shutting down at the end of the month.
Aaaargh, I can already feel my power waning... All these moments will be lost in time, and so on.
On a lighter and more serious note, though, thanks to all the admins and mods that made this ride possible. You are the best.

The part that sucks about all this is that there aren't any tools to fully migrate my account over to a new instance. Comments and posts will be left behind, but at least they'll hopefully remain federated for as long as possible so I can look back at them in the future.
I don't understand what migrating an account could do besides making new, duplicate posts & comments and deleting the old ones, which would mess up comment chains and spawn even more duplicate posts with no comments on them than we already have.
It would amazing if when importing, all the posts, would show up linking to them, just that and nothing more.
But I think this was discussed and its not going to happen.

trying out piefed over here! figured I'd try something completely different while migrating
PieFed is awesome 😎
There are several instances to choose from, though app support is still rolling out and for awhile may be hit or miss.

Brings up the question if there should be a migrate community option on the back-end
Piefed actually has this. Shame lemmy doesn’t.

The whole thing made me paranoid so I made accounts on multiple instances.
I made an account on sh.itjustworks yesterday, but the import account details hasn't worked (...yet?)
Welcome! I just picked it because it sounded funny, but it turns out to be a really cool instance. 😎
Me too!
Started the sign up process and then my password manager told me I was already here.
:(
The thing I like most about lemm.ee is the defederation policy. Supposedly lemmy.zip is similar in that regard so that’s where I ended up.
i went on lemmy today, and considered .ca even if im not a canadian. i made one for world, but dint realize they blocked alot of the nasty instances.
