I just wanted to verify something. If an instance goes down, what happens to the communities created in that instance? Might be a stupid question, but I'm still not 100% I get how this all works.

They're gone basically.

All hosted & federated posts are still archived by the instances that recieved them but the community obvsiously can't accept new federated posts & comments until/if it goes live again. We should have archiver accounts/bots on important communities to not lose knowledge created on those communities, it's like adding a voice recorder to a telephone line - you keep what you record.
