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.

If an instance goes down, then so do all the communities on it. Perhaps it the future, you could be able to migrate a community or an account to another instance. I know Mastodon has a future for migrating an account.
