3! One for porn, one that was my main but then the instance got overrun by lunatics and got subsequently defederated by all the main instances, and this one

Two: First on world, but it was pretty laggy so I changed to lemm.ee. The entire experience is better.

[–] wfh@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly the same!

I still admire and am super thankful to @ruud for all the time, effort and money he and his friends are pouring into trying to optimize world.

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

Same. Did it partly for my own experience, but also to move way and give new users and a chance to join us. :)

[–] Gulmar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly the same here!

Two because I instantly got banned from the first one

I said that the lemmy.ml admins were marxist-leninists, I'm still unsure what was controversial about it

5 - one Beehaw, but after taking me 2 weeks to be accepted, I moved on to lemmy.world and now switched to lemm.ee since lemmy.world is having some problems with the huge influx of new users. Also have another one on lemmynsfw.com for...Well... Reasons. I also have one on Kbin, altough I don't really use it since 99% of my Lemmy/Kbin browsing in on Android and I don't know of any KBin apps as of now, besides, I think I'll just settle down on lemm.ee for now.

[–] WigglingWalrus@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two. One for lemmy.world but then due to the issues, moved to lemm.ee which is my current main.

[–] abejfehr@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I did the exact same

[–] Fractalfarmer@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Only one, I was tempted to sign up to another but I only just about got a nice mix of subscribed communities on this one and don't have the patience to go through it again. I don't really see the point, either, unless you are signing up to a second one that isn't federated with your current one.

Also, shout out to ReddThat.com, absolutely zero glitches or issues so far except for those that seem to be fediverse wide. Good place to be with good people.

There's this tool that allows you to automate that process: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

[–] ofespii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

3 so far.. but it's mainly trial and error.

Started off with Lemmy.ml then wanted a bigger instance.

Moved to Lemmy.world then ended up having too many users and lagging.

So I moved to a good compromise: Lemmy.blahaj.zone

But yeah. Three so far with the exact same username 😬

[–] skunch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I'm on Lemmy.blahaj.zone because my lgbt wife loves blahaj and I figure it will make her more comfortable when she eventually moves to Lemmy. Don't feel the need for another instance.

[–] Atiran@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Well, I just joined today, so only one. But since you can subscribe and post to communities on any other instance, I’m not sure why I would need to sign up on another unless I wanted to change. That’s what makes the fediverse amazing.

[–] SmokeInFog@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago
[–] Dee_Imaginarium 4 points 1 year ago

Three. Beehaw for main, Lemmynsfw for obvious reasons, and decided today that my lemmy.world account that I had before Beehaw is going to be used for shit-posting/memes. It's just the meme communities are so active it drowns out any other communities. I can't keep the memes while also seeing news, art, writing, games, etc.

[–] Terevos@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

6 or 7..I kinda lost track.

Most were to evaluate the best instance.

One or two were just to force manual federation sync of a community I moderate.

[–] lhamil64 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest

Just one, I'm glad I'm able to interact with all instances from this account, I think if I felt I had to make so many accounts I'd get overwhelmed and quit lemmy

[–] UdeRecife@geddit.social 3 points 1 year ago

More than 10. I'm still waiting the confirmations from some of the instances.

I read some weeks ago that lemmy instances are like email providers. So I've taken to hear the advice that I should try different instances before settle into one. It has also been part of my lemmy leaning process. I won't recommend it, though.

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

Only one - on lemm.ee. Have been working great so far :)

I have accounts on 3 different instances.

[–] gilarelli@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

I made 3 accounts but I just deleted 2 because imho it didn't made sense. I kept the one on the smallest instance for it's reactivity and because it's easier to keep track of things I want to save/follow

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

Three total, but was using lemmy.world as my main until recently with all the groaning under the pressure of all the new signups so yesterday I spent about an hour or so methodically recreating my subscribe feed on lemm.ee

Nothing at all against the admins over at .world but when it’s pushing the absolute limits of capacity with all the new people coming by, it makes for a different experience all together on a smaller instance. Course because it’s hiccuping over there I’m seeing some significant delays in federation but whaddyagonnado.

[–] EyesOfTheWatcher@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Just 2: Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.

Still trying to get my bearings before I decided when/if I want to host

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I opened an account in lemmy.world first, simply because I didn't know better. Then I realized that it'll be a good idea to stay on a smaller instance. Been with lemmy.sdf.org since and I'm pretty happy with it.

[–] Tucumano88@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One, lemmy.ml but want to change to a smaller one, any recommendation?

Why would I need more than one? A couple comments don't show up once in a while, but other than that, I can get everything from one account.

[–] yads@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I signed up for lemmy.ca after lemmy.world became more or less unusable for me. I can also see creating multiple accounts for different interests.

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like...[checks sidebar] three: .world, .ee, .film. Oh, and kbin. So far .ee seems the peppiest. Wish I didn't have to recreate my subscriptions each time! 😏

[–] Limeade 2 points 1 year ago

It was just one, but I learned about programming.dev from this thread and now I am on two!

I also technically have two on kbin. I started the second one at fedia.io because kbin.social's DDoS protection was interfering with federation, but that got fixed almost right after I made the fedia account so I didn't really use that one.

So far I prefer how kbin does a better job of introducing me to new content and communities, but I dislike how it doesn't show what servers everyone is on unless I click their username. Unfortunately, on kbin I keep running into spammy meme communities getting pulled in from servers Beehaw is defederated from so I like the content here more, which is why I keep bouncing between the two and haven't just dropped one. I block them when I find them, but it doesn't remove them from my feed right away.

[–] zerbey@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

I'm on lemmy.world (which is being crushed by new users) and infosec.pub. Considering just spinning up my own server.

[–] oehm@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago
  1. Started on lemmy.ml when I didn’t know anything about lemmy. Switched to lemmy.world after getting annoyed with the tankie shit. Then switched to Midwest.social because lemmy.world was way over inundated and barely functioning.
[–] sporez@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

3 (4 if you count kbin). Beehaw (which took weeks to be approved) so moved to Lemmy world, which is now overloaded and slow so Lemm.ee which is snappy and fast.

[–] 0next@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I've been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.

[–] usernotfound@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  1. I started out with the og Lemmy.ml.
  2. Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
  3. Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
  4. Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
  5. Gee... Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable... Better sign up on lemm.ee...

I'll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.

[–] floppy@rabbitea.rs 2 points 1 year ago

Two, and a Kbin. The first instance was just for bots (friendly ones I made), then I signed up for this account to use as an alt as Kbin is a bit flaky. Kbin is my main account but I'm using this one quite a bit due to frequent 500 errors over there.

[–] Vuraniute@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

Joined lemmy.world on June 12th, around July 3rd when it got overloaded I joined vlemmy.net, been happy ever since. So 2 instances. I still sometimes check lemmy.world to see if my posts/comments are posting because vlemmy is facing federation issues due to the reddit HoD.

[–] Backfield9368@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Two. One on lemmy.ml originally, and then I made a second on feddit.de because I live in Germany so I thought a German instance would be nice, and they don't show NSFW posts which makes browsing in the office a little less awkward.

Two. I started on lemmy.ml, but then I spun up my own instance for me and a couple friends who mentioned wanting to check out lemmy.

[–] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I have one on lemmy.ca and one on kbin.social. The latter was mostly because federation was broken at the time I signed on with the reddit migration.

I'd say I spend more time on lemmy now? Yes, kbin's interface looks more modern and slick but seems less functional? I particularly like that you can collapse threads on lemmy. And I guess a bunch of apps are headed to lemmy first so there's that.

Usually, I like to post/reply using the kbin account if it's to a kbin magazine, but something weird happened the other day. I actually saw a new post on kbin.social from my lemmy account before it showed up on kbin. I'm not sure how that's even possible?

[–] hitagi@ani.social 2 points 1 year ago

I have one in kbin, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and this one that I'm using right now in my own instance. So 4 total.

I don't use the first three much anymore now that I have this one but prior to this, I was mostly active in lemmy.one

[–] modkhi@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

Juat one, VLemmy.

I signed up about two weeks ago I think? And I picked one that seemed large enough and permissive enough to be stable but not the biggest because I knew that one was going to get flooded with new users and suffer once the rest of reddit decided to jump ship.

So far, seems to have been the right choice.
