I recently switched instances due to this.
To switch, you make a new account, right? Cannot change your instance once a username is made?
Your username is made on instances. So yeah, you can't just switch. However you could just recreate the username on a different instance though.
Correct, a new account since accounts are tied to the instance. It's not a great experience at the moment but I suppose part of the trade-off for now with the fediverse. Maybe a tool or something native will be made later to help the use case.
You have to have a separate account for each instance. That's how Lemmy and other federated sites work. That's the whole point.
