lemmy.world is very slow, it hosts 87,000 user signups, 36-50k active, defederates pawb.social, burggit.moe, exploding-heads.com, lemmit.online, and a bunch of other instances, 63 in total.
startrek.website defederates only 6 or so, sh.itjust.works defederates 3
some instances become too big and slow, some instances are run by idiots who can't even self-host so their servers die and leave hundreds of people stranded, etc.
in the end, many servers don't allow you to just have one account because they will block what you want to see, or because they are down a lot of the time, or because sometimes they're too slow because they're too big, etc.
