Should I selfhost kbin/lemmy for my own account so my data stays in my stance? en (kbin.social)

Not unless you plan on blocking federation entirely. Once your data goes out to the Fediverse it's there forever.

I second @vtez44, You would only host Your own private profile data - like password. Whenever You post to an other instance, then your post (data + username) is being shared to that instance - it does not matter if you connect via your own instance or not. There is only little advantage.
