I mean its in your hands. You could just close the server in two weeks because reasons and it all has to start from scratch.
No that’s the beauty of it. That entire community will have been copied onto other servers that subscribe to ours. So it doesn’t rely on our instance. You’ll be able to find all people and content on other servers too.
I feel like storage would fill up quite fast if that were the case
It does, and a lot of Fediverse servers shut down after about two months once the admins realize how much data storage they're committing to!
It's not like every server backs up everything, though. A server only backs up activities performed by actors that are least one actor on the server is subscribed to.
