As long as there's a subscriber to the community on another instance, it will automatically have a copy there, that's just how the federation works. It's not really a backup, and it only has posts since someone subscribed to the community from that instance.

But if you're worried about what will happen to old posts from lemmy.world communities: if you can read it now from your instance, it will still be there if lemmy.world disappears.

Got it. I still created backups, but I will subscribe to them with my other instance accounts. That didn't occur to me.
