2 Questions about Lemmy Accounts (lemmy.world)

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?

I asked this yesterday and the answer is that yes, there will eventually be the same communities onany servers and you would have to seek each one out and join it.

Yikes. How would any community get any real consolidation or aggregation? I don’t want to have to know where to find the popular community of “Funny” lives ya know?
