What happens when a server/instance "dies"? (sopuli.xyz)

If a server decides to cease to exist, does all the user data go down with it? I'm guessing so, along with a all comments/post/communities made from that instance and only cached data will remain.

Anyone have an idea on this?

Here the admin did announce it: https://lemmy.ml/post/741881

I do not know what happens with a new domain. It is probably as if it was a brand new instance.

EDIT: maybe @Thann@lemmy.ml can tell you more
