Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.

Sadly, I had to make an account in two instances.

Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.

So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...

One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.

It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.

Overal it is just very confusing.

Two. Got my start on lemmy.ml because it was run by the devs and i thought it would be the most reliable. Boy, was i wrong. Got rather annoyed with the instability and now I'm on sdf.org. Is there a way to sync profiles across instances? Would like to see my post history shared between my profiles.

Two, and a Kbin. The first instance was just for bots (friendly ones I made), then I signed up for this account to use as an alt as Kbin is a bit flaky. Kbin is my main account but I'm using this one quite a bit due to frequent 500 errors over there.

4, Lemmy.world beehaw.org sh.itjust.works and my own selfhosted πŸ˜„

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two! One on Lemmy.world a day or two after it was started ... that one is now painfully too slow, and a second that was originally going to be just for porn but now is my main, at least till world is sorted out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two. One on lemmy.ml originally, and then I made a second on feddit.de because I live in Germany so I thought a German instance would be nice, and they don't show NSFW posts which makes browsing in the office a little less awkward.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

3, though I’m including kbin.social too. I’m settling on Lemmy.world for mobile use, and kbin.social for PC use. I made a Lemmy.ml account at the start of the blackout and just never used it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have one in kbin, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and this one that I'm using right now in my own instance. So 4 total.

I don't use the first three much anymore now that I have this one but prior to this, I was mostly active in lemmy.one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only one so far but I might switch for another less laggy one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All of them! hahaha, I will own the fediverse now!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just 2: Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.

Still trying to get my bearings before I decided when/if I want to host

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two, my main is beehaw but I use this account when they're down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One, since I didn't know how to pick. But it seems great so far.

2 for kbin, because I had no clue, but Lemmy is much snappier. Most likely will be deleting those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Four.

  • Lemmy.ml, but not sure if they were accepting sign ups and wasn’t accepted.
  • Beehaw, but found communities on Lemmy.world I couldn’t see.
  • Lemmy.world, but had performance issues and realised I couldn’t see Beehaw πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.
  • Finally landed on Lemm.ee and I’m happy here.
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beehaw has chosen to defederate from lemmy.world so that makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I knew they had defederated, but didn’t fully think through joining Lemmy.world would have the same issues of not being able to see the entire Lemmyverse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only 1, haven't needed to have more accounts and there isn't an instantance I have wanted to visit but that has blocked mine yet, so no need to have another one right now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Three total, but was using lemmy.world as my main until recently with all the groaning under the pressure of all the new signups so yesterday I spent about an hour or so methodically recreating my subscribe feed on lemm.ee

Nothing at all against the admins over at .world but when it’s pushing the absolute limits of capacity with all the new people coming by, it makes for a different experience all together on a smaller instance. Course because it’s hiccuping over there I’m seeing some significant delays in federation but whaddyagonnado.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

2 Lemmy instances and also kbin. Wasn't planned, but my first instance was so overrun that there were frequent server problems.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on lemmy.world (which is being crushed by new users) and infosec.pub. Considering just spinning up my own server.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How many instances i have accounts on? Only 1, this one I'm using right now haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

More than 10. I'm still waiting the confirmations from some of the instances.

I read some weeks ago that lemmy instances are like email providers. So I've taken to hear the advice that I should try different instances before settle into one. It has also been part of my lemmy leaning process. I won't recommend it, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

3 (4 if you count kbin). Beehaw (which took weeks to be approved) so moved to Lemmy world, which is now overloaded and slow so Lemm.ee which is snappy and fast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two. Started on sopuli.xyz then made one on lemmy.world.

I'm still not super certain how lemmy works, but there seems to be more activity on lemmy.world. Also, when I tried subscribing to communities on sopuli, most of them said "Pending" and I still wasn't subbed after a couple days. Lemmy.world seems easier.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey I'm still on sopuli only, did you notice a big difference from having the .world account?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Why would I need more than one? A couple comments don't show up once in a while, but other than that, I can get everything from one account.
