2 Questions about Lemmy Accounts (self.lemmyworld)

submitted 1 year ago by Withloveandloathing to c/lemmyworld

If an account is created on any specific server, like !Lemmy.world does that mean if the server does shut down, the account data is lost?

Also for username availability, could we create an account in a different server where the name is not used yet?

What do you think I’m trying to do by discussing it? If the core of the platform is not that of an aggregator, then it’s not designed to be a replacement to Reddit. That is fine of course, but it’s not what I’m looking for and lemmy shouldn’t say it’s a replacement Reddit when it’s a billion tiny scaled down versions of Reddit where you don’t have any concentration of the users.

True. I'm not sure anyone said it's a replacement. The furthest i'd go is saying it has the potential to be as good. Down the road from here.

If we have good posters and good communities. It will at the very least be something cool 🙂
