What happens if the worst happens? (startrek.website)

Hi everyone. Obligatory I'm enjoying my time here.

Looking at some other discussions about Reddit and what happens to the trove of knowledge when/if it all disappears.

My main question is, if, for example, beehaw decided it wasn't worth it to keep going and shut their server down, is that the end of just their "subs" or do all of their users and their comments disappear across the whole fediverse?

There's that very helpful post on how beehaw defederating affects us

If my understanding from that is correct, then all the communities,posts, comments, which lemmy.world or any other servers users have subbed/interacted with are all cloned over or lemmy.world or the respective servers.

So if beehaw shuts down, their data will live on the other servers until they shut down themselves or purge the data for some reason.

Although this would only be useful for archival purposes and not useful to interact with any of the old posts, as any further changes would not be shared across the remaining servers.
