    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.

    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.

    Two, but only because I can’t log into the other fediverse instance that I’ve registered (sh.itjust.works).

    Four right now. I have a kbin that I’m keeping contained to kbin for the time being. I have one on Beehaw that was going to be my main on Lemmy, but I made another on .world to interact everywhere since Beehaw defederated for now. And one for NSFW-only.

    A handful of them. The fragmentation of lemmy is yet to be improved. It is common for me trying to subscribe to remote community that the remote community is not found or the instance is in “Blocked Instances”.

    This is bad for general users since they will not be patient or bother to open multiple accounts across multiple instances.

    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 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.

      May i ask why? Personally the only reason i have 5 is because most of the ones i signed up for initially became heavily overloaded

    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?

      So far same name, different passwords. Not really much thought given to any of it, I just wanted to get up and running quickly and I’ll possibly change it when things settle down (I’m not really attached to this name). Different passwords is just good standard practice.

    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 have only one and i really dont want to have more accounts but i cannot access lemmy.world and many others i think it is because every lemmy instance holds its own list of lemmy instancies and each instance has to somehow be approved by target instance or is my inderstanding of this platform incorrect? Anyway i will give it some time and then i think i move to differrnt instance with more connections so i still will be using one account.
