While I understand the concept of federation I’m unclear as to what it actually entails at a technical level. When lemm.ee eventually shuts down, will all of that user content (posts, comments, votes, etc) cease to exist? Is it mirrored on other instances?
You can actually make a new post on an instance that has closed, you can also reply to posts on a closed instance

Nothing I was ever subscribed to, and why not post a direct link to the community?
I just made a post and a comment on a community on a closed instance. Both went through okay, but will never federate.
