It costs all my account history, not knowing people responded to my old comments, losing or having to migrate all my saved posts/comments, etc.
When I first joined there was talk of Lemmy supporting account migration between instances do I was waiting for that, but that has petered out I think.

It’s only been a year. You’ll be fine.
Yeah, I genuinely don’t know what’s a good instance to move to though. Even yours is controversial for being too big.
I actually prefer sh.itjust.works, but got used to using Alexandrite, so I’m alternating.
I have a backup account on lemm.ee, though I don’t use that unless I want to make a split personality joke.
I like lemm.ee, though it’s also getting kinda large
As someone who has changed accounts you don’t really lose that much. Karmas not a concept here, so that’s the big one.
Besides that, most apps let you log into multiple accounts so you can still check all of the legacy interactions if you need to.
The main pain was subscribing to all the communities again.
EDIT: when I first made accounts, .ml was recommended, and I tried signing up cuz I thought, “I work with machine learning, sure!”
Oh, those were brighter days.
