If one instance of Kbin die for whatever reason, there is no way to retrieve users and posts from it ?

Title,
I'm really curious because I'm new to this fediverse thing, and I wanted to know if different instances are on a peer-to-peer which could save everything no matter what happens to one instance.
when you federate with an instance you get copies of the post. with mastodon you could download your data and move to another instance, and i have to imagine that feature is on the roadmap for kbin as well (but kbin is still very new so not yet).
You can download your data/posts and move to another instance, but you can not upload your posts to that instance, you can import who you follow and blocklists I think and your followers get migrated automatically.
Ok so if one Mastodon instance die, others instances will have everything from this instance ? And if a Lemmy instance dies, is that mean Mastodon instances will have the posts of this lemmy instance?
So when someone subscribes to a group from another instance, or follows someone from another instance, a copy is made on their instance so they can read the stuff. but it's not the "true" version. Look at the drama going on with lemmy.world and beehaw. lemmy.world is cut off from beehaw content, but they still have the old beehaw posts that were synced before the block.
