And how many of those accounts are for NSFW content?

For the sake of anonymity, people without separate accounts can pretend to be sock-puppets of those answering.

I have 3 on different instances with all the same subscriptions in case one goes down.

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

I should have done this. vlemmy.net died and I lost all my subscriptions :(

[–] Fluff_muffin@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Same, literally just finished subscribing to 50+ communities the day before it went down :'(

[–] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I've got a similar deal going on with mine

[–] JaxiiRuff@pawb.social 12 points 1 year ago

1 main and 1 nsfw just like I did on reddit

[–] XiELEd@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

One on lemmy.world (June 15th), this account I've made on lemmy.fmhy.ml (July 3rd), and one on lemmynsfw (also July 3rd). My lemmy.fmhy.ml account is my main now, I only login on lemmy.world if I want a more up-to-date feed and content, though the lemmyverse has already gotten bigger and has more content nowadays so that's no longer necessary.

[–] rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I have four due to instance shopping, but there's only one I use all the time and one I use as an alternate. Would be nice to be able to synchronize them.

NSFW I don't care about, it's enabled. I only browse stuff by subscription where that stuff rarely comes up. Can't imagine the garbage I'd have to sift through setting my front page to "All".

You mean Fediverse accounts? I have one for Lemmy and one for Mastodon. Boring? Yeah, I know.

[–] Can_Utility 3 points 1 year ago

1 main account, 1 alt account. This is a use case where I fully appreciate the separation caused by federation; my alt account is on a separate instance and therefore is completely, wholly separate from my main.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Just the one. I'd just constantly forget to switch if I had more than one, not worth the hassle.

[–] s4if@lemmy.my.id 2 points 1 year ago

I have 4, one in kbin, one in world, one in shit, and this one... :D

I've got 2, largely out of curiosity for what defederation meant as far as user perspective.

When exporting comes online I'll likely make an effort to spin up an instance if it's still feasible... So there will be a 3rd cake?On the positive side I don't think you're going to find many people wanting to sock puppet mild takes and noise rock.

[–] substill@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I have a handful of redundant accounts because instances keep fucking up or disappearing completely.

I have 3.

First was Lemmy.World, because RIF suggested it with its final update message.

Second was Yiffit because I need my furry femboy stuff and didn't find it on Lemmy.World and didn't know I could use the same account for it yet.

3rd was sh.itjust.works as a backup for when the other 2 are down/slow.

On Reddit I just had 2. My main one, and the one I used to get around a really stupid and hypocritical ban on /r/gaming. Perma banned for mentioning what PS .bin file version was needed for NA games on an emulator; not linked, didn't even tell them where to get it, just gave them a version number. In a thread about how to get PCSX to work. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

[–] Varlus@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Just two, one I first signed up with and decided was a mistake, and then the one I currently use. I'll probably make a third for nsfw eventually but that's low on the list while I'm still settling in

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

3 - this one is my main one, then one on kbin.social and one on lemmy.world. When I created the other 2 I basically couldn't log in to them because the servers were too overloaded, but this one let me straight in so this is my main one now.

[–] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 1 points 1 year ago

Just this one, I don't see a need to have any alts right now. I might later on for NSFW if I want to subscribe and vote, but there's basically no NSFW lemmys worth using yet so...

[–] Cullen@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Signed into jerboa with lemmy.ml and liftoff with lemmy.ca for when lemmy.ml suddenly stops loading (hopefully less of an issue as time goes on)

[–] Tilted@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I made 4 or 5 accounts on different instances. I settled on programming.dev, and only use this account.

Might be interesting to create an NSFW account too.

[–] hot_milky@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I see no need for extra accounts :)

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I have kbin too, since I found sync issues with kbin where posts wouldn't show up even days later.

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

2, this one and my obligatory one over at sdf.org cuz I am over there doing stuff all the time. I had two alts over in Reddit for specific topics but currently I don't see those topics over here so no alts currently.

[–] Rottcodd@lemmy.ninja 1 points 1 year ago

At the moment, I have... seven, I think. I mostly use two - one at kbin and one at lemmy.ninja. I have one at lemmy.world that I check in on occasionally, but there's generally too much junk to wade through there. And I have one at lemmy.nsfw for... you know... stuff. The rest are languishing.

I just open them through my browser. I have a tentative plan to switch to an app, but I'm waiting for them to get a bit more settled first, and really the browser works fine.

I find each instance to be a different experience, so I just switch between them as I see fit. And I'm still looking for at least one more - something deliberately scholarly and sedate.

3 but one is abandoned.

I got a Kbin account but there were a few too many bugs. So I found a Lemmy instance I quite liked and and left the Kbin account to rot. I also have a mastodon account because sometimes I like to have the scroll.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Two. I'm on the second right now because my main instance is timing out ATM.

[–] KnightOwl@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

Two. I originally signed up on Beehaw, but I decided to switch after the defederation. Most of the communities I was subscribed to at the time were on World, and I hated losing access to them. Saw my current instance advertised on Mastodon and made the switch. My Beehaw account is still active, but I don’t check it very often since I can still interact with those communities through this account.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

One. Signed up on lemmy.ca and don't see any reason to make another.

[–] PaupersSerenade 1 points 1 year ago

3 technically, 2 in use, and just because I didn’t really understand federation at sign up. Now I mainly use my beehaw and my shitjustworks account.

[–] freamon@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Just this one for posting. I was messing around with the API and couldn't figure out how to log in, so I created another account at an instance populated by weirdos, and spammed that instead with my many wrong and malformed attempts.

[–] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 1 points 1 year ago

Three. This one, one as admin of my instance (so I don't have to log in as admin all the time), and a bot account.

The bot only responds to DMs to add some fun new features. It's not online yet.

I have zero accounts for NSFW, because I am always at work.
