For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

    Good question. I’m assuming everything would be lost if you existed on just one instance, but I don’t really know, and I was making some assumptions of migration (pre shutting an instance down) based on Mastodon. I’m reading up on it now and it seems like there’s a lot more implications for the idea than on Mastodon.

    Apparently you can synchronize your account between instances: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2931 I’m not sure if this is how this works, but it would be great if you could have one “account” have many heads all synchronized in case any particular instance goes down.
