Basically the title. I’m here from the Reddit exodus but I’ve been on mastodon before. But I’m not sure what happens when an instance goes offline or goes down, will I have to make a new account on a different instance instead? Do I lose all my data? Thank you :)
You will need to make a new account on another instance, all of your comments made will be deleted, and any communities, posts and comments mirrored from the instance may become unavailable on other instances depending on their individual backup/sync policies.
