Should I have separate Lemmy and Mastodon accounts?

TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 111 points –

I am still learning this whole thing and I ended up creating accounts here and on Mastodon. Is that necessary or do I automatically have a Mastodon username with my Lemmy? I used the same stuff on both accounts, can I merge them or something?

Edit: thanks everyone, I can't respond to each comment while I'm at work, but I appreciate every one of you!

I have separate accounts for Lemmy and Pixelfed/Mastodon. Their content is so different, that it's hard to find a unified way of interacting with it (following accounts vs. subscribing to and interacting within communities).

If you still prefer to combine both, you could make an account on kbin.social. With that you can follow both Mastodon and Lemmy content and get a "unified" UI. I cannot say how well it works though, since I haven't tried it myself.

Yeah I tried following a community on my mastodon account and it turns out "tweet-style" is not the best way to view comment threads.

Same - I just track my accounts in my KeePass, so it's not too bad. I have way too many accounts anyway, and I don't trust Google/Microsoft to keep them safe in the long term, so KeePass it is.

KeePass is awesome. We have a new community on here dedicated to KeePass. You should come join at !keepass
