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?

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.
That instance went down a while back, so posting a link to the community wouldn’t work.
LW users can still make posts there, but they would indeed not federate.
I was just providing an example so that people could see what it would look like
