I have one Lemmy account for now. Following the KISS protocol (keep it simple).

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.
You have reasons tooβ½ We should be best friends!
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.
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.
two. this one, and I made an account on fedia.io back when kbin was having issues federating. but I only use this one now.
I just have my lemmy.world account.
I have kbin.social account along with this lemmyworld account because several days ago kbin.social didn't federate so I must made new account to check on them.
I have this as well
just one, lemmy.world
How do you feel that Lemmy.world was defederated from beehaw?
concerned that beehaw will become an insular echo chamber.
One Kbin account and one Lemmy account. I started in Lemmy in a small instance that I'm still fond of. But enjoy the feel of kbin better than Lemmy.
One lemmy.ca that was my first.
One NSFW one.
And one kbin one. The kbin interface is really the best is far.
I have Mlem as an iOS app for lemmy but itβs pretty rough. For now kbin provides the best interface on a browser.
One here and one on kbin, but I noticed that I spent 80% of the time here. I often want to try out kbin, but the cloudflare-check I have to go through every single time I want to use kbin is annoying and it just feels more empty than Lemmy. So I often can't be bothered to go to kbin anymore and will most likely choose Lemmy as my replacement for Reddit.
I think I'm up to 12 now across both platforms.
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 use a password manager (Keepass) so every service has a different password usually 24 characters with upper-lower case, numbers, and special.
For critical services like paypal and email, I also use different usernames.
Stupid question. How is everyone managing the accounts, emails and content? How do you manage multiple profiles? (As I understand apps and tools are still lacking).
Two for me, one lemmy and one kbin
Two, but only because I can't log into the other fediverse instance that I've registered (sh.itjust.works).
Was it because of the registration bug? I read some people were having issues completing registration but in some instances the confirmation email was sent to their inbox so if that's the case, make sure to check for it
I have so many accounts on various Mastodon instances because I didn't really get the hang of using it when I tried it out.
On kbin/lemmy, I've just got this one.
Two right now, this one and one on Bookwyrm I made way back. Going to be interesting to see how multiple accounts are juggled. From a user perspective itβs a little weird to view multiple types of content from one account (ie lemmy, Mastodon, kbin content from this account) but if I want to say post on pixelfed Iβd need a pixelfed instance account. Maybe an app with multi-account management will come around that makes that a little easier. Or maybe eventually a mega-instance that is interoperable with every fedi-service? At that point is it just centralized again? Oof
Only 1 (and I'm new here). Actually the need for multiple accounts is something I am afraid of and don't want do that. That's a huge bummer to me, because using the native web service is much better. And sometimes they block each other. The unification is probably what I will miss most, besides the sheer amount of central user base.
1 in lemmy 1 in mastodon 1 in owncast 1 in bookwyrm
Two on Lemmy. One on lemmy.world because it seemed both popular and stable enough, and a second one that I'm planning to use now that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world.
Feeling really bummed out that posts on communities from Beehaw are now different depending on what instance you use to view them now.
Oh I missed that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world, any link or TL;DR for why?
Beehaw is having trouble moderating some bad actors and harassment coming from some instances with open signups. They've decided to defederate for now until things settle down and better mod tools get released.
Hey thanks! Shame that there's harassment going on, but at least federation makes it easier for them to control for that if they so wish!
They donβt like the open registration process and they feel there was too many bad actors on that server, so they defederated from them.
Thanks, that's good to know! I'll have to go poking around beehaw to find a post.
Two, one on beehaw which was my first one, and one on kbin cause it's cool.
Edit: if you are thinking of joining kbin give fediverse.boo and readit.buzz a try. Two stable kbin instances
I know for mastodon, you can move your account over to other mastodon instances while keeping all your data and such.
Is there currently a way to do that with kbin? In case I wanted to branch out to a more niche instance but keep my profile and messages and subscribed magazines and such?
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.
Just this one account and I don't plan on having others. I don't see the point.
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 like to hedge my bets
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 ...
