    I thought the content will still be available on the other instances that were federated before the instance went down.

      It is stored on the instance. If the instance goes, the content is gone too.
      I don’t know exactly will something be cached, but even if it is, eventually it will be invalidated too.

      Could we do something like a central ledger for users that an instance could opt in to hosting but still isn’t controlled centrally?
