Should I Make Multiple Server Logins? (lemmy.ca)

I know you can use a single login to subscribe to communities from other servers, but are there any advantages to having an account on each server compared to having a single account connected to communities on other servers?

If you plan on moderating communities, it is useful to have an account on the same server as the community you are moderating.

If you plan on just browsing, posting, and commenting, you don't really need multiple accounts. Some people prefer to have a separate account for NSFW stuff, others don't.
