Or maybe the home directory isn't getting mounted to /home ?

So... went to do an upgrade to Fedora 35 and found that I was lacking room
for the downloads. I have /home set up on a separate drive, so I did the
following:
dnf system-upgrade download --downloaddir=/home --releasever=35
The upgrade went well, except when I rebooted into F35 I couldn't log into
my home directory. So I rebooted and logged into a console session. When
I did, I got an error message stating that /home/<me> was missing. ls
/home showed me that all my home directories are missing.
I'm guessing that dnf downloaded all the packages for the upgrade to /home
and then did a rm -rf * on them, taking out my home directories in the
process. Can someone confirm this ?
Any chance I can recover the files ?
I am beyond angry that this happened. I've been using Fedora forever.
I'm sure I've used --downloaddir before without this happening.
