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 :)

@Maitreyi If you didn't backed up your data, yes, you will lose your data (I dunno Lemmy supports data import/export tho.) Also, you need to open another account on another lemmy instance/server
