Unless something has changed, migrating your account is more like copy/pasting config on a new account. Your post history etc however does not come with it. If that’s something that matters to you then picking the “right” server matters a little bit.
For example lemmy.world has defederated from a bunch of instances (https://lemmy.world/instances) Creating your account there means you’re missing some of the full experience of Lemmy, for better or for worse. A smaller instance may federate more content, but may run slower or worst case stop working entirely if the admin abandons it.
I just used a handful of different servers over the course of a few weeks to see which was my ideal server.
My first thought was that it’s an AI generated photo of LeVar Burton. The comment didn’t seem like “who is that”, more of a “why is this AI?”
