I’m thinking about deploying my own instance where I’d be the only user and most probable I won’t have any communities.
The only thing there will be my account to interact with as many other instances as I want.

What would be de pros and cons of having my account like this?
Would it be harder to interact with other instances in some way?

    I can access all the posts and comments that have already been made on the lemmy.ml communities

    does this mean during this time you’re viewing an outdated version of the thread? what if you try to comment at that moment? would it error out or update automatically in place when the instance comes back online?

      It’s not outdated because the intance it’s on is down anyway. And i think (but I’m not sure) if you comment, the comment would go to the other online instances EG. beehaw/lemmy.one but when the instance the community was hosted on came back they wouldn’t see the comments unless they explicitly searched for the comment id.
      Again, I’m not sure but thats my guess. But either way you can still read the old comments. If reddit went down you couldn’t even look at existing comments.
