This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

@Anyone: please let me know if I'm wrong about these and if there's a solution, but as far as I can see:

I can't export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I've saved).
It's difficult to find where a server is based.
Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don't want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

You're being down voted, but I feel you. It's why I picked one of the largest instances when I joined, despite what other Lemmings tend to tell people to do. Picking a small instance is a bad idea because they die out like that. I've seen several fairly significant smaller instances die out at this point. I don't want to wake up and my account suddenly vanished one day because the host forgot about it.
