It's always sad to see a country-based instance go, they bring together a nice community, and it's an opportunity to learn more about the country.

Maintaining an instance is a lot of work, so this decision definitely makes sense if the admin didn't have the time to take care of it. Hopefully the other instances are still going strong.

I believe images are only hosted on the original instance.

For example if you browse this post on lemmy.world:

https://lemmy.world/post/13015119

Respective images are shown directly from the original instances, for example: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/c7285a60-c7ee-4013-8d96-6c13a541c2f0.jpeg

For text posts, I understand that they are copied across instances. But will they remain visible when an instance is completely removed?
