Just one? One on many instance? Multiple on one instance? Biggest reasons?
I like to split my non-nsfw and sfw accounts, so I have two accounts each on Twitter, Bluesky, Lemmy and Mastodon.
For Lemmy I had accounts on Beehaw and Sh.itjust.works before they fell out and I don’t think either handled it well.
For Mastodon, I originally made an account on Mastodon.scot, but switched to furry.engineer because apparently meow.social blocks mastdon.scot for an unknown reason. I then reactivated it later when Mastodon.art decided to go on its crusade against trans people and furries, so now I kinda use both.
When I created the account here, I decided to say “screw it” and use my one account for everything. I had the split accounts on reddit, still have both names, but my “clean” account is only used when yiffit is taking a break. I also don’t need that one anymore as I just created a backup on pawb.social.
I had just one on Lemmy World but after a technical hiccup due to the sheer volume of users in a short period of time, I made a few accounts on other instances, including this one which has become my primary.
I’ve seen you on so many posts it’s insane. Maybe it’s just the big blue text, and I actually see everyone, everywhere, at all times, but yeah.
Do you use your giant blue name on all of them, or do you ever blend in?
Some of them don’t use the display name field to be able to. But I almost never use 'em anyway.
A few hundred. The fediverse is pretty empty, so I do pretend conversations and reply to myself, like I’ve done here.
I’m not you, am I?
We are us. There is no I.
I have 7 accounts across lemmy/kbin/mbin instances. I am still trying to figure out which one suits me the best.
Every comment on this post is mine
we are borg?
I have a mastodon and /kbin account, don’t really see the point on having more
Just this one.
I guess that means you don’t have a “myyiffaccount”?
Haha, I do not.
I have multiple accounts on Mastodon, kbin, Lemmy, Misskey and Pixelfed. I originally signed up to different communities to get a feel for what worked for me. I’m glad I did because one was sold (mastodon.cloud) to a shady spam company, and my favorite Mastodon instance that I settled on had an admin hissyfit and shut down because he didn’t own any big boy pants. And another instance suddenly became a csam farm and I deleted that crap real fast.
I still visit a few local communities to see how they have developed, some better than others. Some are just people moaning about everything they can post about, just like twitter is. So annoying.
I personally find that I have more fun on kbin and I use Mastodon for news and keeping up with hashtag follows. I really hope in the future that kbin gets more tools like Mastodon with following hashtags, bookmarks and a filtering system like they do. It’s really nice to be able to mute and block other people easily.
one. I don’t have a lot of time to mess around. If I have to move I will likely have two for a bit. I have not deleted my reddit as I decided to run the delete on a semi regular basis if that counts but I don’t actually use it.
I may or may not have around 100 accounts, most have never been active however, i basically signed up everywhere because i wanted to see everything, i think i settled for ani.social now.
That’s… a few. I don’t know if I’ve even come across that many instances.
There was a list somewhere and i just signed up on the top 100 XD the bottom 50 haven’t even been logged into
One Lemmy and one Mastodon. I really like the fediverse promise of interoperability between instances, i hold it up to this promise, and i get annoyed when it fails.
The only consistent problem with the interoperability, is the lack of discovery.
That’s true in most cases, but i’ve had a lot more success posting stuff to my furry-specific Mastodon instance than posting hte same thing to generic Twitter and Bluesky. So there’s something to the ability to have a specific audience.
But i genuinely have an issue when i go to upvote or reply and it tells me that i’m not logged in, and that’s when i find out that i’ve accidentally left my instance and am not logged in anymore. That kind of thing shouldn’t happen at all, it shouldn’t be this easy to accidentally land in a different instance.
That happens all the time with links, If you clicked on this link you’d wind up here again, but on yiffit instead of pawb. Similarly, if I’m browsing some instance and find something I want to comment on, its a bit of a task to find the post on my home instance to make a comment. There are a couple tools around, but it would be nice if there was something built in to take you back to the same spot in your home instance.
The discovery bit is federation is not automatic. If nobody has visited something, you can’t even search to find it. You have to go find it elsewhere, go home and search for that specifically so it could be found again. And if nobody is subscribed, it won’t update. Its still very rough around the edges.
Just this one. I don’t want to juggle more passwords than are really necessary, and I’m not too worried at the idea of others scrolling down my profile and seeing that I’m a furry, a TF fan, and sometimes an outwardly sexual person when the situation allows it.
TF fan had me looking if I could find any TF -> Fan, no luck.
I created one on kbin.social one day when pawb went down, and quickly discovered that Kbin is not a good piece of server software and never touched that account again
careful with that in this post. So many of the replies here are from kbin accounts. In fact I’ve never seen so many. When initially making my account here, I did glance at kbin, but I just didn’t like how it presented itself.
Twenty-five Lemmy instance accounts, plus two Kbin/Mbin instance accounts, three Mastodon instance accounts, one Sharkey instance account, and one Firefish instance account.
You seem to really get around.
Just one. I don’t want to manage a bunch.
I had a porn one but the instance was too inactive to meet consumption needs.
Overall there doesn’t seem to be a lot of activity outside of the really big communities. As for porn, other than the larger communities on lemmynsfw, not a whole lot of activity.
