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?

Oh so that will push the content to the ALL feed on the other instances right?

Yes. Instances only get updates from external communities if at least one user of that instance is subscribed to the community, and that's how instances populate their All feed.
