3! One for porn, one that was my main but then the instance got overrun by lunatics and got subsequently defederated by all the main instances, and this one
5 - one Beehaw, but after taking me 2 weeks to be accepted, I moved on to lemmy.world and now switched to lemm.ee since lemmy.world is having some problems with the huge influx of new users. Also have another one on lemmynsfw.com for...Well... Reasons. I also have one on Kbin, altough I don't really use it since 99% of my Lemmy/Kbin browsing in on Android and I don't know of any KBin apps as of now, besides, I think I'll just settle down on lemm.ee for now.
I opened an account in lemmy.world first, simply because I didn't know better. Then I realized that it'll be a good idea to stay on a smaller instance. Been with lemmy.sdf.org since and I'm pretty happy with it.
Just one, I'm glad I'm able to interact with all instances from this account, I think if I felt I had to make so many accounts I'd get overwhelmed and quit lemmy
Only one, I was tempted to sign up to another but I only just about got a nice mix of subscribed communities on this one and don't have the patience to go through it again. I don't really see the point, either, unless you are signing up to a second one that isn't federated with your current one.
Also, shout out to ReddThat.com, absolutely zero glitches or issues so far except for those that seem to be fediverse wide. Good place to be with good people.
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.
I'm on Lemmy.blahaj.zone because my lgbt wife loves blahaj and I figure it will make her more comfortable when she eventually moves to Lemmy. Don't feel the need for another instance.
Started on lemmy.ml when I didn’t know anything about lemmy. Switched to lemmy.world after getting annoyed with the tankie shit. Then switched to Midwest.social because lemmy.world was way over inundated and barely functioning.
Well, I just joined today, so only one. But since you can subscribe and post to communities on any other instance, I’m not sure why I would need to sign up on another unless I wanted to change. That’s what makes the fediverse amazing.
I'm pretty sure I registered on Beehaw a few months back, but can't seem to login there with my usual credentials. Maybe I just visited the site without registering. I'm happy with just lemmy.world for now though.
I signed up about two weeks ago I think? And I picked one that seemed large enough and permissive enough to be stable but not the biggest because I knew that one was going to get flooded with new users and suffer once the rest of reddit decided to jump ship.
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.
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.
Joined lemmy.world on June 12th, around July 3rd when it got overloaded I joined vlemmy.net, been happy ever since. So 2 instances. I still sometimes check lemmy.world to see if my posts/comments are posting because vlemmy is facing federation issues due to the reddit HoD.
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.
It looks like my comments go out and are federated almost instantly. But syncing up all the content in the communities I've subbed to is definitely behind the main instance.
I think the communities stuck in "Subscribe Pending" are the issue. Probably some backlog holding everything else up.
I made 3 accounts but I just deleted 2 because imho it didn't made sense. I kept the one on the smallest instance for it's reactivity and because it's easier to keep track of things I want to save/follow
Two so far. Started on slrpnk.net because I liked their community list and general theme and focus. Added midwest.social because I was thinking of hosting a community and I didn't feel like it fit Solarpunk's tight focus, and I didn't want to detract from that. Midwest is now my main, but I actively use both.
Having different accounts for different interests suggest to me that there's a missing feature in Lemmy. I can see why some people might want that, but Reddit had multisubs for that need. Lemmy doesn't have that.
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.
I have one on lemmy.ca and one on kbin.social. The latter was mostly because federation was broken at the time I signed on with the reddit migration.
I'd say I spend more time on lemmy now? Yes, kbin's interface looks more modern and slick but seems less functional? I particularly like that you can collapse threads on lemmy. And I guess a bunch of apps are headed to lemmy first so there's that.
Usually, I like to post/reply using the kbin account if it's to a kbin magazine, but something weird happened the other day. I actually saw a new post on kbin.social from my lemmy account before it showed up on kbin. I'm not sure how that's even possible?
Looks like...[checks sidebar] three: .world, .ee, .film. Oh, and kbin. So far .ee seems the peppiest. Wish I didn't have to recreate my subscriptions each time! 😏
2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest
A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It's basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can't interact with that instance.
I'm on two right now. It seems like there are issues with comments loading from other instances. For example I commented on a post hosted on instance A from my instance B, but I couldn't see the replies to my comment without going to instance A directly. This left me unable to see or respond directly to their reply without making an account on instance A
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.
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.
One, since three years ago. Lemmy.ml , but due the massive exodus from reddit I'm looking for an alternative. Looking for smaller instances. Any recommendation? Any instance that speaks Spanish or mix English and Spanish?
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
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
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.
I wanted to get away using the main Kbin.social server, but am finding my accounts on smaller Kbin instances (Fedia.Io and Readit.buzz) have inferior content to Kbin.social. I will often find posts and image previews missing on smaller instances. I also hate how Kbin warns about missing content any time you Federated magazines.
Also, I got tired of waiting for an iPhone app for Kbin and have started using WefWef for Lemmy.
As a result, I am using VLemmy mostly for my browsing.
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.
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.
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.
