I'm sure. I don't know what the software does if an instance is active for a few days, then goes offline and doesn't come back. It stays on the federation list, i presume? Probably a fair amount are also personal instances with 2-3 accounts.
I'm pretty sure it sticks around forever, I clicked on a few without "software" or "verison" filled in at random and most 404'd or 503'd.
That makes sense. We wouldn't want the content to be deleted. I've seen there are a few communities where the original instance is now not functioning, but the content remains on this instance.
Exactly. I wouldn't want to lose !moviesandtv@lemmy.film even if we can effectively no longer post. For archival reasons.
