If an instance disappears, do all previous posts automatically disappear from all other instances? (lemmy.ml)

I can say empirically, no. I was messing with federation between two local instances and deleted one because I lost the password and had zero investment worth figuring out how to reset it.

The posts stay around and it actually takes work from the top admin to get the community hooked back up (purged) if it's re-created with the same id+instance.
