    Your user is still linked to your home instance. If that goes down, you don’t have access to it. You can still browse Lemmy from other servers.

      You can make your own instance. Not everybody’s cup of tea, but in the future it will likely become easier. It will only go down when you let it

      That is sad. So you know if there is any work or solution here? Maybe sync to different instances or just assume it is still you because you have the key to some algorithm and have some data saved in your client?

        The solution is making your own instance. You’ve basically got a copy of your own of everything you follow on the fediverse. If it goes down for a while, messages are indeed queued for a reasonable time. And even if you do miss them, things like comments, up and down votes will act as ‘reminders’

          Sure, I wound have my own instans but having it alone would be pointless. I think feddiverse would be fine even if the biggest node go down as she many others exist.
