I found the lemmyverse super confusing for the longest time, especially how so wildly different looking sites would interact.

I see every so often people talking about more than one account on different instances.

Why should i, or why shouldnt use more than one?

What benefits would I, a very average user gain from it?

I'm newish to the whole fediverse thing myself. I've made 3 lemmy accounts on different instances mainly due to lemmy.world being a bit unstable and Lasim making it easy to migrate communitya.

Also made a kbin, mastodon and because I read a lot a bookwyrm account.

Couldnt you do that with one account since its all the fediverse?

[–] Teknikal@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope I don't think so but the 3 lemmy accounts might be overkill I'll maybe delete my original lemmy.world one. I think 2 are needed in case an instance has issues.
