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?

These are great questions. I have the same about communities: if I create “Funny” on this Lemmy.world, does that prevent someone from creating a “Funny” community on another Lemmy server? If it does not, will there be millions of “Funny” communities?

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?
