First time posting, but i was wondering if i was the only one who had more than 2 accounts in total on here
I just have my lemmy.world account.
I’ve got one on kbin and two on Lemmy. Don’t know wtf I’m doing but ideally I’ll stick with this kbin account since eventually it will be an “all in one” account for kbin, Lemmy and mastodon. Just waiting on a dedicated kbin app.
I’ve got three. I started with a beehaw account but now have one at sh.itjust.works after beehaw defederated and a third at lemmynsfw for…reasons.
You have reasons too‽ We should be best friends!
got five across various instances and will probably end up with a few more. i like to hedge my bets, and i also like to comment in-house, as it were
i like to hedge my bets
I was just thinking about this. Any recommendations for instances?
i’m australian, so my home instance is the aussie zone.
my account at lemmy’s world is to make and moderate communities with because it’s the instance with the most active users.
my account at vlemmy is to be able to make or mod communities that the lemmy’s world account can’t see. it’s got a cute logo and a low userbase so it’s easy to sit in and watch my subscription feed update live with fresh comments. only problem with a fast-scroller like that is that you have to continue staring at it if you want to be right there standing close enough to where the news actually breaks to be able to take a selfie. not a healthy mindset if there isn’t an active military conflict making its’ way across the suburbs of your city, and probably not even then either.
i’v got a reddwent account because i think the name of the instance is funny and as a backup for the world account
and then there’s this account, where i don’t have to watch out for abusive douche canoes as much as in other places because they get banhammered. mods in the aussie zone are on-the-ball as well. i’v heard the word “tankie” thrown around by critics, but the people saying that shit were the same people screaming about how the protest didn’t do any good earlier this week on reddit, half of them are the types of guys who have tattoos that match images in the SPLC’s hate symbol database and stand on the steps of state parliament on a saturday throwing roman salutes while wearing face masks to hide their identity, safe in the knowledge that they won’t get arrested because one of them is the son of a fairly senior ranked cop. in other words, not the type of people that have much in the way of credibility with anything they ever smegging say.
i plan to get one at dot-emm-elle because the mods there seem to be the lead devs of the entire project, or to put it another way someone who is worthy of listening to, but that’s not possible at the moment as they don’t currently allow new members.
i’m very likely to make accounts at a couple the other australian servers, like one of the ones in tasmania and one of the ones in perth, and there also a chance that i might build one myself as the equipment is inside of consumer electronics prices and would basically cost about the same as a gaming PC, but if i was going to do that then it would be restricted in one way or another like this place or dot-emm-elle are, simply because i’m someone who shares what they have among people around myself a lot, but sometimes i get hold of something so exquisite and high-tech that i’m the only person in my IRL circle of friends who truly understands how cool the position i’m in and just enjoy that feeling of superiority and selfishness that goes with having something cool. i was thinking that the next PC i build will be for the entertainment unit tho, not the house server which i was planning on building a few years down the track.
and hey, if i’m running my own instance, i wouldn’t be able to contribute to the running costs of others, like this one. that doesn’t work for my intentions …
Three. Only find myself using two, one’a kind of a backup/clone on a less crowded instance for when my two mains are both overloaded. Once it calms down I’ll make one my work/around people account (NSFW content not allowed), my every day account, and the other one my…ummm…you know what, don’t worry about the third account.
I think I’m up to 12 now across both platforms.
Started with one at lemmy.world, moved to this one at feddit.uk because I wanted to interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world which were defederated from each other. I have one at kbin but I’ll probably access everything from here for simplicity. So, 3.
I would be interested from the users who have multiple accounts, do you use the same name and password everywhere, so do you use the accounts as “one”, or is it different for each instance?
If so, why?
For security reasons, if the database of an instance is cracked?
Do you not want your NSFW account’s postings to be associated with your other stuff?I have one Lemmy account for now. Following the KISS protocol (keep it simple).

just one, lemmy.world
How do you feel that Lemmy.world was defederated from beehaw?
concerned that beehaw will become an insular echo chamber.
Stupid question. How is everyone managing the accounts, emails and content? How do you manage multiple profiles? (As I understand apps and tools are still lacking).
Password manager + you can add multiple accounts in the jerboa app
Thanks. I’ll check that out. Does fediverse restrict using the same email for multiple accounts?
Not sure I haven’t tried doing that I used aliases for the instances that required an email
Two on Lemmy. One on lemmy.world because it seemed both popular and stable enough, and a second one that I’m planning to use now that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world.
Feeling really bummed out that posts on communities from Beehaw are now different depending on what instance you use to view them now.
Oh I missed that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world, any link or TL;DR for why?
They don’t like the open registration process and they feel there was too many bad actors on that server, so they defederated from them.
Thanks, that’s good to know! I’ll have to go poking around beehaw to find a post.
Beehaw is having trouble moderating some bad actors and harassment coming from some instances with open signups. They’ve decided to defederate for now until things settle down and better mod tools get released.
Hey thanks! Shame that there’s harassment going on, but at least federation makes it easier for them to control for that if they so wish!
Two, but only because I can’t log into the other fediverse instance that I’ve registered (sh.itjust.works).
Why not?
