Sorry dude, you'll have to subtract one unfortunately. I created a NSFW account to have two different home feeds.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Make that 233 999 and one duplicate account by @Jay@sh.itjust.works

Plus100.000 from threads which is part of the fediverse (maybe)

Threads isn't federated yet, and this is just counting lemmy numbers anyway.

I know, I was just taking a piss of threads. I had to uninstall it cause it was clogging my phone, not joking. It's true shit code

You and me both brother.. Plus my dumbass might have made one user for pornlemmy and and other for lemmynsfw. I need to be learned

I think it's okay, since people on all platforms create multiple accounts and throwaways.

More than just, I have accounts on 3 of those 10.

Why? There's porn and general stuff. And this dichotomy is beautiful. Like yin and yang.

I created my lemmy.world account first, but I like the site name for sh.itjust.works so I have one there too.

I'll probably make a professional identity alongside my personal identity. So two total. Yeah.

In my case:

feddit.de didn't update and as soon as I switched to another account I couldn't login again

So I created one on shitjustworks. (which ended up with the same problem, but I wouldn't want to have a third sfw-account so I just waited until it resolved)

And I wouldn't be surprised if there was another old account of mine on feddit.de from a time where lemmy was just this weird thing some people in r/berlin linked to

Have a separate account on burggit.moe and lemmynsfw for this exact reason. Plus a lot of alt accounts on instances that are defederated (different usernames for each).
