  1. Make the content viral
  2. Do nothing.

When IPFS nodes access your content, they will cache it for some time (until they run out of space or trigger a manual garbage collect). When someone look for it, they can find it at any of these node, even if you go offline :slight_smile: If they ā€œpinā€ it, they will try to keep it no matter what, so you can encourage people to pin your content to maximize the chances of it being available to others.

For the same reason, they can fetch the content from other nodes, so you shouldnā€™t be overwhelmed if it goes viral. :slight_smile:
