I was using conversations and from what I understood the server handles syncing of history from clients that have all the history so of one disappears your history disappears. That is what played out in my tests.

That must have been a severly misconfigured server. Normally history is stored on the server and synced on demand.
Of course with modern e2ee you can’t actually decrypt old history on new devices, but that is an intentional feature with PFS.
