What actually happens to posts when a Lemmy instance shuts down? (lemdro.id)

When I first new about lemmy, lemm.ee was among the biggest and I created an account on it but didn't use it much and didn't knew that the instance was deleted until recently. So help me understand where content is stored:

  • When a post is created, is it only stored on the original instance, or copied to every other one?

  • Do all federated servers get a copy, or get posts from other server when user demands them?

  • When an instance shuts down, is its content gone forever, or do other instances keep copies?

  • If the original server is gone, what happens to edits or deletions?

  • Is there any kind of “shared” storage in the Fediverse, or network that store everything?

  • Could one still access all lemm.ee content now? Or post in it's communities?

Thanks.

I never really paid attention to votes…not even on Reddit. I’m old and I just say what I say. I’ll hand them out to reward effort…but beyond that the count miss me.
