is it ok to use accounts in place of multi-r*ddits? (lemmy.world)

I miss multireddits, a workaround I found is to create accounts on different instances and subscribe to different communities with each account ie

News [email protected]

Memes and other bullshit [email protected]

"Math" [email protected]

Then just login to which ever one I'm looking to browse. I don't think this will screw with the fabric of the fediverse, is there any reason I shouldn't?

I can't see any reason why you wouldn't do that

Honestly sounds like a great productivity tool

"Alright it's time for the meme account"

30 minutes later

*Alright time to get stuff done, let's switch to the production account that's subbed to all the communities with tutorials for the program I'm about to work in."

Is there any easy way of going about this for someone who doesn’t really understand lemmy yet? I’d love an entertainment one and a seperate music production account

Basically you'd just need to go to the instances list and start picking instances to make accounts on.

And for each account search for communities from them and start subbing.

Some of them are easy to get into, others are a bit picky, some are really busy, and some not so much.

I'd recommend staying away from Lemmygrad though unless you want to be around people who simp for Russia and other authoritarian regimes.

Stick with the chill ones and you'll have a far nicer time on Lemmy, plus from the chill ones it's easier to block the shit ones.
