One for business and one for pleasure (lemmynsfw.com)
This is the way
Two: First on world, but it was pretty laggy so I changed to lemm.ee. The entire experience is better.
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.
Same. Did it partly for my own experience, but also to move way and give new users and a chance to join us. :)
Exactly the same here!
Pretty much same here. I couldn't actually sign into the first one because I hadn't put in my email. Now I'm on lemm.ee!
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. One for lemmy.world but then due to the issues, moved to lemm.ee which is my current main.
I did the exact same
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 😬
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.
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
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.
Two because I instantly got banned from the first one
Why? what did you do?
I said that the lemmy.ml admins were marxist-leninists, I'm still unsure what was controversial about it
Ayy, lmao
Hmmm
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.

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.
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
Similar but I started in Lemmy.ml. Then found programming.dev.
what does it mean if a community is defederated? does that mean that community can only be accessed by the instance it is hosted on?
A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It's basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can't interact with that instance.
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.
All of them
Just the one (lemmy.world), but also have a kbin account just out of curiosity. Been using Lemmy much more though 🙃
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
I'm pretty sure I registered on Beehaw a few months back, but can't seem to login there with my usual credentials. Maybe I just visited the site without registering. I'm happy with just lemmy.world for now though.
Same thing happened to me, the log in icon just kept spinning.
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.
Just one. Tried kbin but didn't like it.
I have accounts on 3 different instances.
I started out with the og Lemmy.ml.
2.Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
Gee... Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable... Better sign up on lemm.ee...
I'll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.
Two as of the moment, and I hope I don't need to add more.
I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I've been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.
I'm on two right now. It seems like there are issues with comments loading from other instances. For example I commented on a post hosted on instance A from my instance B, but I couldn't see the replies to my comment without going to instance A directly. This left me unable to respond directly to their reply without making an account on that instance
One, lemmy.ml but want to change to a smaller one, any recommendation?
Only one, don't feel like having multiple accounts of something that I have to remember to use.
Two. Got my start on lemmy.ml because it was run by the devs and i thought it would be the most reliable. Boy, was i wrong. Got rather annoyed with the instability and now I'm on sdf.org. Is there a way to sync profiles across instances? Would like to see my post history shared between my profiles.
Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.
Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.
So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...
One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.
It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.
Overal it is just very confusing.
One day I hope we have federated identities. The tech exists but it's not yet woven into how Lemmy does things.
3, though I’m including kbin.social too. I’m settling on Lemmy.world for mobile use, and kbin.social for PC use. I made a Lemmy.ml account at the start of the blackout and just never used it.
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.
4, Lemmy.world beehaw.org sh.itjust.works and my own selfhosted 😄
Two! One on Lemmy.world a day or two after it was started ... that one is now painfully too slow, and a second that was originally going to be just for porn but now is my main, at least till world is sorted out
Only 1, haven't needed to have more accounts and there isn't an instantance I have wanted to visit but that has blocked mine yet, so no need to have another one right now
I setup my own instance. Performance is must better than the big instances, but looks like propagation of all the federated content is a bit slow.
Hopefully update to Lemmy improve the syncing.
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.
Sadly, I had to make an account in two instances.
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.
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.
What are the advantages of being on a smaller instance?
I'm on lemmy.world (which is being crushed by new users) and infosec.pub. Considering just spinning up my own server.
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.
1
How many instances i have accounts on? Only 1, this one I'm using right now haha
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.
2 Lemmy instances and also kbin.
Wasn't planned, but my first instance was so overrun that there were frequent server problems.
One
One, since three years ago. Lemmy.ml , but due the massive exodus from reddit I'm looking for an alternative. Looking for smaller instances. Any recommendation? Any instance that speaks Spanish or mix English and Spanish?
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.
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.
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.
Why did your first account become unusable? What was the problem?
lemmy.world experienced explosive growth and the servers were either quite slow or were experiencing persistent 502 errors. Switching to a smaller instance the experience has been a lot more performant.
Four.
Lemmy.ml, but not sure if they were accepting sign ups and wasn’t accepted.
Beehaw, but found communities on Lemmy.world I couldn’t see.
Lemmy.world, but had performance issues and realised I couldn’t see Beehaw 🤦♂️.
Finally landed on Lemm.ee and I’m happy here.
Beehaw has chosen to defederate from lemmy.world so that makes sense.
Yeah I knew they had defederated, but didn’t fully think through joining Lemmy.world would have the same issues of not being able to see the entire Lemmyverse.
Two. Started on sopuli.xyz then made one on lemmy.world.
I'm still not super certain how lemmy works, but there seems to be more activity on lemmy.world. Also, when I tried subscribing to communities on sopuli, most of them said "Pending" and I still wasn't subbed after a couple days. Lemmy.world seems easier.
Hey I'm still on sopuli only, did you notice a big difference from having the .world account?
HeyStaZy@lemmy.fmhy.ml to 
This is the way
Two: First on world, but it was pretty laggy so I changed to lemm.ee. The entire experience is better.

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.
