Back in my day, our comments deleted themselves when the IRC or email server failed...
Come to think of it, what happens if an instance fails with Lemmy and there isn't a backup?
With the instance itself? I suppose it's the same procedure as any computer that crashes without a backup; you fucked up son.
I'm just joking, I know what you mean.
The content that has been federated and thus copied to other instances stay with the federated instance forever. Images are hosted at the original instance so they just disappear but the posts, text content and comments are "frozen" at every federated instance.
