Should I selfhost kbin/lemmy for my own account so my data stays in my stance? (kbin.social)

I'd like to be the owner of my own data. I don't know if my data at kbin.social is available for download or something.

I second @vtez44, You would only host Your own private profile data - like password. Whenever You post to an other instance, then your post (data + username) is being shared to that instance - it does not matter if you connect via your own instance or not. There is only little advantage.
