wait so how does this work on a technical level?
say I am part of a community of /c/weirdstuff that's on lemmy.world.
if lemmy world is down how do my comments get to lemmy.world? are they stored on whatever instance I am registered on and then synced to lemmy.world once it's up?

Yes
Ok but how other people will know I replied to a comment or posted if the community on the original server is down?
Not sure if other instances can communicate between them to get updated before the original server is up again and everything gets updated.
