What happens to the content when a Lemmy server is decommissioned? (aussie.zone)

Checked Fediverse Observer and whole bunch of server has been decommissioned because of which users can't login and because they can't login , Lemmy is losing active users. Any plans to fix this ? I am more concerned about the content thats lost.

Each Lemmy instance keeps a copy of posts and contents made in communities followed by its users

This is exactly why I stopped hosting an instance. Too much liability for something out of my control.

Baring technical issues, deletions and moderation are federated. The only thing that isn't is media removal, but there are tools to automate the process https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety
