If they are small and no one wants to host them, the content cant be that important.

big lol for this. i mean, if we want to see the world through a competitive/quantitative/capitalist lens, you might be right. but do we really want to?

Many small Lemmy instances have already disappeared over time. You are free to archive existing instances, so that doesnt happen again. But in general, things disappear from the internet over time, whether you like it or not. Not even archive.org can prevent that.
