Genuine question. If the admin dipped won't the instance die on its own within a month or so? If the admin disappeared I doubt they will continue to pay for hosting.
I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on this but it could be on a yearly hosting plan in which case the hosting hasn't run out yet, but in the future it definitely very well might and then it will be taken down. Only time will tell.
It could also be hosted locally, and in that case if he still paying rent, electricity, and internet it'll likely stay up indefinitely unless he stops paying for the domain then the server will still be there but the domain will go dead or be reassigned.
Yeah I guess those are all valid options as well. Best to just defederate and move on.
