Are instances changing names that often? Hexbear is the only one I have heard of and iirc that was only temporary.

Instances go down a lot – often permanently. e.g. kbin.social, lemm.ee, etc.
When an instance goes down, it takes out all the user accounts and communities on it, and it’s hit or miss if you can find copies of the posts on other instances.
