One thing I’m not clear about is the impact my home instance has on me. I joined lemmy.world and am currently using the connect for lemmy app. I know when I sort by Local it will only show me posts from lemmy.world, but beyond that are there any things to keep in mind?

I have read that lemmy.world has been hit by DDoS attacks but I’ve never had any problem using connect for Lemmy during those times as far as I know.

      The comments/posts I made on other instances via that account are still there and i’m guessing will remain so but bookmarks/subscriptions etc. start from scratch.

        Theres a lemmy migrator tool that helps to transfer them to backup accounts in the future. I dont have the link but you should be able to google it
