This seems to be a serious downside to this system. Anyone who values a persistent profile is putting their precious data in the hands of some random instance that may or may not go bust in the near or (perhaps worse) distant future.

i think this is bring worked on, but in the meantime, you can still transfer subscribed communities with lemmy migrate

I'd love there to be a Trust on first use signed user record and a DHT of associated servers that would allow profile references to point to the most recently made user profile with the same key as the oldest one.

Yeah that would be ideal. That way if one instance is temporarily down you could still use your account.
