    You do all of your browsing on your home instance, including the viewing and commenting on posts from other instances.

      Most big instances in Mastodon gave agreed to giving 3-month notice in case they shut down to give time for people who don’t wish to go down with the ship to migrate their accounts to other instances. I can imagine it being the same in Lemmy, adding possible community migration
