I ran a mount command that mounted the rootfs into my home directory I've hence lost all my data in the home directory. Is there a way to get the data back?

3Almost certainly you haven't lost your data, and it's just temporarily inaccessible. What exact command did you run? – Chris Davies Apr 22 '23 at 07:40

1Mounting a filesystem on a directory hides the original content of that directory until you unmount the filesystem. – Kusalananda Apr 22 '23 at 10:24

With umount -R /home you will unmount the rootfs from your home folder.
Your data isn't lost, it is just temporary unavailable, because you mounted another drive/file system to where /home is.
