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?

I didn't know heapoverflow's domain got hijacked, do you perhaps know more ? and if they got a new domain ?

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

yeah, I have a new domain, but all of the internal links point to the old domain, so I have to make a migration to up date the DB, and i recently got laid off from my job, so I put that project on the back burner =/
