What happens to the community if the instance is deleted? (lemmy.world)

New to lemmy, created a community on lemmy.world for a game that I enjoy. If I understand it right, if the lemmy instance goes down, your user data also goes down. Is this the same with communities as well? Is there a way to move your community to a new instance if that happens?

TIA.

I don’t think I’d really want to read my 15 year old posts anyways…

Lol

Yes. The user accounts would also be gone.

Well, I see. All I’m worried about some essential piece of information which could be useful for people will be lost. As an aspiring dev, you do sometimes spiral down into the Reddit hole, for getting a solution.
