So if one instance goes to shit your account will still work on all the other ones.

My understanding is that (at present anyway) since accounts are not federated, your account on that "gone to shit" instance will be gone. Your content will still be on many federated instances, but not your account. That would be lost.

    Yeah, one thing Lemmy needs to solve is account migration. Instead of creating a new account on a new instance you move your existing account from one instance to another. It won't save the account if the instance is already removed, but it at least gives an option to move if you feel like there's a better instance for you.
