I think having Lenny and a kbin account is reasonable. If one goes down you can use the other.
Fair enough. Personally I'd probably just lurk until my instance was back up, but I could see it being worth having a backup.
i have a couple of accounts that i keep synced in case one of my instances disappears.
What are you syncing across accounts?
I'm happy with the one instance I'm on. The admin's a nice guy and we agree well on policies.
I dunno, Max P. You may have a falling out with the admin at max-p.me. Better be careful.
Remember to get your admin a little treat every now and then to keep them happy.
Three but the other two are for porn
I thought there was only one porn instance, what is there apart from lemmynsfw?
Pornlemmy and yiffit
Same.
I currently use lemmy.world and i also have a mastodon account from 2 years ago i never use
Lemmy.ml, but wondering about migrating to some other instance because I can't log in here, have just this Jerboa session, besides lemmy I use mastodon.cloud
I signed up on Sopuli.xyz and that’s it. I haven’t really had a need to sign up on another instance.
I can't know what will happen in the future so I signed up to a bunch.
Three. I originally signed up on lemmy.world because it was the big one, made an account on lemmynsfw.com for... reasons, then learned that clustering on one instance is a bad idea and made an account, which is now my main, on Midwest.social
I refuse to even try to join midwest.social out of a very petty protest. Fuckers are pretending Missouri ain't the midwest! You're stuck with us, whether you like it or not!
~~get me out ~~
The midwest is named after the Midwest Territory. Missouri was never part of the Midwest Territory
Tell that to the census bureau
Feddit.uk as my main and one on lemmy.world to start any general communities on here and act as a back-up in case of disasters.
Only 2 that I'm active on. Lemmy and Firefish. Both are hosted on tchncs.de
I had another Lemmy account but the server suddenly disappeared. And I moved from mastodon on mas.to to firefish. I may move back. I like the functionality of Antennas but I also miss a single feed for people and hashtags.
I have Lemmy.film as a backup with mirrored subs cause Im a little worried after my og instance Vlemmy just vanished
I have accounts on several instances, but only use one of them.
Just like opening an account on an email provider to gauge the quality of the service+features, I went instance hopping until I found one that felt right.
Right now, all other accounts are sleeper accounts. I have them kind of sorted out so that if my current instance goes down or is knocked out of the air, I'll just log in to the next sleeper account.
Kbin.social and mastodon.social
Spend most of my time on Mastodon.
You only really need to sign up for one, you can subscribe to communities on any other instances.
Three. lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, and lemmynsfw
lemmy.ml because I was a relatively early adopter in the reddit migration. sh.itjust.works because they're the largest instance I'm aware of that defederates the fewest other instances.
sh.itjust.works is what I consider my "main" account currently, but if there were a large instance that didn't defederate anyone, I'd jump ship in a heartbeat.
Either way, it's handy to have accounts on at least two different instances for when your main instance is down.
Ten? Across Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Funkwhale and Bookwyrm. Some of them are just for bots/admin. I have one personal account I use on each service. They all have different names and avatars to cause confusion.
Speaking of different names for each account, I really like your name and instance combo!
Two lemmy instances and I'm still shopping for a Funkwhale pod.
discuss.online has been great. It's small, fast and in the US where I live.
I'm also on lemmy.world but it's slow with a lot of down time.
I'm also on a few others for redundancy and reasons.
- Lemmy.one, for a broad normie experience. Kbin, idk I was trying it out but like lemmy better. Lemmygrad and hexbear.net because they're not widely federated.
2 right now, one on Lemmy.ml and one on my own instance. 3 if you want to count the server admin account. I've been thinking about adding more accounts on my server to segregate content so frontpage for each account could be somewhat focused while all would be a mess of everything.
Tbh I don't really see much point to accounts on different instances. I might be missing something, but the only difference that I can see from a user's perspective is what instances get federated/federated. You certainly don't need an account to just browse instances for new communities to subscribe to on your instance.
Two, programming dev and kbin social
- my kbin.cafe is going to be for writing
- my universeodon.com will be for the same
- my Lemmy.world I used just once for debugging
- my reddthat.com was where I thought I would settle, but
- the instance mod over at lemmy.myserv.one posted a reddit post requesting more users for his load-distributing instance, and I was like: "well that's reason enough to switch."
My only complaint is that this place isn't federated with beehaw. I think Reddthat was federated with them?
I signed up on lemm.ee because I had trouble signing up on aussie.zone at first, but after trying again it worked and now aussie.zone is my 'home' instance. I do also have a Mastodon account on mastodon.world.
- Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, and Lemmy.nsfw
I use lemmy.world for everything and lemmynsfw.com for... You know 😂
My lemmynsfw only shows whack celebrity photos. What am I doing wrong?
Enabling NSFW is probably most of it, but I also blocked the user Madness (or something like that) who posts most of the celeb spam, and my feed has been 100% better.
hmm... really only use lemmy.world but have subscriptions to communities on 14 other instances other than this one. tried to use mastodon but i just dont like it. same with invidious, it's just not for me. same for pixelfed - that one at least works ok but I dont really rehost images enough for it to matter.
lemmy.world is pretty crowded. consider moving to a smaller instace. the overall experience should be better, less lag, less downtime etc.
you can sync the subscriptions, but you need to do it manually with a script / program.
Just the one. I send them a couple bucks a month too.
