I’m asking in general but also in terms of privacy. Is it worse that you’re more easily connected to your real identity through owning the domain?

I'm doing it and I like it. But I switched to PieFed which is easier to maintain.

When setting up my own here, I was debating to go for PieFed because I like the underlying features - but having had no sysadmin experience before, I went with Lemmy due to better documentation. But I am thinking about switching - can you "migrate" your instance, or did you just set up a new PieFed one and abandon the old Lemmy one?

Yeah, no migration available, which is a potty but that would be quite difficult to do it right.

Sad, but, yeah, that is more than understandable, the whole database migration alone would be a massive headache to get right, I think.
