What happens when a server/instance "dies"? (sopuli.xyz)

If a server decides to cease to exist, does all the user data go down with it? I'm guessing so, along with a all comments/post/communities made from that instance and only cached data will remain.

Anyone have an idea on this?

That's cool! Not that the domain got hijacked, but the fact that the content is still available on other instances. This is brilliant and shows you the benefits of federation VS centralization.
