    Where is the content stored by the way? On the posting user’s home server, on the destination community server, on both, or on every lemmy server? It wouldn’t be so bad to lose a username on one server if it shuts down - just create a new one - but I want to be sure my contributions stay accessible indefinitely.

      I’m not 100% sure, but I think the source of truth is the community’s instance, that instance then informs the instances of anyone subscribed to that community. (This is all based on my understanding of how the pieces in ActivityPub could be fit together to build the features lemmy has)
