I’m experimenting hosting my own instance, not to build communities, just as a “gateway” to federate to other instances, in case one of them is unreachable, I still get posts from the ones which are still available. When lemmy.world clogged up a few hours ago, I couldn’t see posts from lemmy.ml since basic operations on lemmy.world timeouted and my feed couldn’t be loaded. Am I using Lemmy wrong, or are these galaxy brain moves (honest question)?
You’ll have to sign up to a new instance and will lose your post history, etc.

No idea! Try asking at Lemmy Support.
