Can't answer it but isn't the whole thing backed up (synced) to other instances? If I'm browsing lemmy.world community on my lemm.ee account, I'm actually only fetching data from lemm.ee. Only downside is that if there is an instance started after the community got lost, it will not have that community synced.
Do federated instances keep everything forever from communities someone is subscribed to? Or do they just keep a temporary cache that they can drop after no one has accessed it in a while?
