Title.

Newbie, recently joined, 7/1/23.

Right now, I'm on three: Lemmy.world (my 'main' or 'home'), kbin, and Blahaj Lemmy. I'm looking at Reddthat and sh.itjust.works as well.

Just curious. I know most of the content will overlap, but there are differences in philosophy/moderator style, etc.

Do you like having ONE instance?

I'm loving Alexandrite as the Dove dark chocolate enrobing my lemmy.world ice cream bar!

I can't know what will happen in the future so I signed up to a bunch. I only actually use one though. If this instance dies then I'll move onto the next.

hmm... really only use lemmy.world but have subscriptions to communities on 14 other instances other than this one. tried to use mastodon but i just dont like it. same with invidious, it's just not for me. same for pixelfed - that one at least works ok but I dont really rehost images enough for it to matter.

lemmy.world is pretty crowded. consider moving to a smaller instace. the overall experience should be better, less lag, less downtime etc.

you can sync the subscriptions, but you need to do it manually with a script / program.

Two lemmy instances and I'm still shopping for a Funkwhale pod.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Kbin.social and mastodon.social

Spend most of my time on Mastodon.

One for lemmy.world and one for dbzero in case world goes down

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I signed up on lemm.ee because I had trouble signing up on aussie.zone at first, but after trying again it worked and now aussie.zone is my 'home' instance. I do also have a Mastodon account on mastodon.world.

2 right now, one on Lemmy.ml and one on my own instance. 3 if you want to count the server admin account. I've been thinking about adding more accounts on my server to segregate content so frontpage for each account could be somewhat focused while all would be a mess of everything.

Tbh I don't really see much point to accounts on different instances. I might be missing something, but the only difference that I can see from a user's perspective is what instances get federated/federated. You certainly don't need an account to just browse instances for new communities to subscribe to on your instance.

Just geddit.social.

  1. Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, and Lemmy.nsfw
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Started with lemmy.one, then set up kbin when one went down for several days.

Then I found I couldn't use kbin with Voyager, so I joined lemmy.world.

So 3... but I really only use lemmy.one. Kbin is an afterthought.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

My main is kbin.social.

I have accounts on a lemmy instance (made while figuring out where I wanted to go) and a couple of mastodons (made symbolically when twitter got Musked, but not used because I didn't use twitter).

Ten? Across Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Funkwhale and Bookwyrm. Some of them are just for bots/admin. I have one personal account I use on each service. They all have different names and avatars to cause confusion.
