If an account is created on any specific server, like !Lemmy.world does that mean if the server does shut down, the account data is lost?

Also for username availability, could we create an account in a different server where the name is not used yet?

    I didn’t realize that if a server goes dark so does it’s data. We will need archival tools for this. If the content can’t be counted on, the platform will not become viable.
