Comment on What does your 'home' instance really matter?

You could also be in a position where the insurance just disappears.
I joined lemmy.fmhy.ml which has now disappeared, from what I gather they received a take down notice.
So whilst but important which instance in general being with a reputable one can matter.

My original account was gone with no warning when vlemmy.net shut down with no communication. I have since made a few backups in case the same thing happens

So when this happens, you lose all of your posts/ comments/bookmarks?

The comments/posts I made on other instances via that account are still there and i’m guessing will remain so but bookmarks/subscriptions etc. start from scratch.

Theres a lemmy migrator tool that helps to transfer them to backup accounts in the future. I dont have the link but you should be able to google it
