You only use one account. The one you created on Lemmy.world.
You can use the search function to find communities in other instances, you can upvote and comment on them too! No need for more than one account!
Thank you, that explains a lot. Since I already got your attention, maybe you can answer one more question for me. Let's say I've created another instance of lemmy on my homeserver, people have joined it, there's some content. And then I decide to pull the plug, my server fries, whatever - does that mean all the content goes too? Or is it possible for multiple people to host the same instance so we always have a backup?
All the content will die with the server if the server fries. Itβs common for hosts to do regular data backups.
But as far as I know you can only have 1 of the same instance at a time.
