Does that mean that every instance is populated with my photos? Meaning, if I change instances or mine goes down, will I still have my pics?
I don't think so, at least when I scroll my pixelfed feed it loads images from various domains.
There is a procedure for migrating profiles and posts to new instances, if the old instance is still up.
And on the admin side, there's established time frames and grace periods for server closures. Barring a big disaster, you'll have time to move your stuff.
