Do they get adopted by other instances? Are they still accessible from other instances? Can you still post on them from another instance?

Edit: From my understanding every instance that deals with a community has a cached copy. Will that copy disappear after a certain time, because it can't phone to home anymore?

Lemmy is instanced. if the host "dies" everthing else dies with it. even the accounts and everything. as far as i understand it. maybe there will be a few cached posts from that instance but im not sure about that.

I haven't bothered playing with instances yet I just made my account yesterday. I need another account if I leave lemmy.world?

As long as lemmy.world hasn't blocked the other instance, you can access it through lemmy.world and write there with your current account
