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?

    I don’t think that’s what OP is asking, I feel like it’s more of a straightforward technical question. As in, if an instance is killed, what happens to the data “owned” by that instance?
