What is an instance? what is a federation? what is a server? can someone please describe in simple terms how this all runs and how we as users navigate it?

Your account would disappear and unrecoverable from other instance, but your comment history can still be found in other federated servers, so it’s not a complete loss. For example, should lemmy.world disappear someday, a copy of your comment history is still preserved in my server at https://c.calciumlabs.com/u/[email protected]
