Except the communities created on that instances all suffer. There were some popular ommunities on feddit.de that are now wastelands.

How are communities affected by such outages? Do they stop federating, but people can still see what other people from their own instance post?

You can't upload pictures and the web interface stopped working weeks ago. You can only make text posts via apps. Why would anyone make a post on that instance?

Can't you also post from other instances? I see new posts on [email protected] all the time

If you can at least post text, you can at least tell people where to migrate to. Doesn't seem like that big of an issue, but not being able to migrate all of the post history (AFAIK) is unfortunate (hopefully something is done to fix that shortcoming).

I can see at least one feddit.de community via web browser, so do you meant just the feddit.de web interface stopped working, but people on other instances still can see it? Or is it broken in ways other than simply being able to see the posts?

Are you viewing it from your instance or feddit.de? I can see all the feddit.de communities I subscribed to on sh.itjust.works, but I can't see the main site at all.
