How can I back up a community I mod? (lemmy.sdf.org)

If the instance I started my community on shuts down, then the whole community is gone. Is there anything I can do as a mod to prepare for this so I can transfer everything onto a new instance? Or is everything lost if my instance shuts down?

Not in any real usable way other than an archive of what you can see in a browser. As of right now you’d need your own instance for a real backup.
