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: First on world, but it was pretty laggy so I changed to lemm.ee. The entire experience is better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly the same here!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same. Did it partly for my own experience, but also to move way and give new users and a chance to join us. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two because I instantly got banned from the first one

I said that the lemmy.ml admins were marxist-leninists, I'm still unsure what was controversial about it

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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.

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 😬

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two. One for lemmy.world but then due to the issues, moved to lemm.ee which is my current main.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I did the exact same

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Three total, but was using lemmy.world as my main until recently with all the groaning under the pressure of all the new signups so yesterday I spent about an hour or so methodically recreating my subscribe feed on lemm.ee

Nothing at all against the admins over at .world but when it’s pushing the absolute limits of capacity with all the new people coming by, it makes for a different experience all together on a smaller instance. Course because it’s hiccuping over there I’m seeing some significant delays in federation but whaddyagonnado.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

There's this tool that allows you to automate that process: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

No lol. When the defederation war started, I started looking for places that didn't defederate or get defederated. Then I started comparing these, using how much quality content they had on the front page as a criterion. I look also at how capable the server admin is. How do you know which instance is best without trying them all? 😌 I'm kind of a tourist you see

[–] kersploosh 2 points 1 year ago

The best response by far.

[–] yoshipunk123456 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1 1/2 (I initially tried to sign up up for an account on lemmy.world but when the email verification took too long i went to sh.it.justworks instead, so I have an account on sh.it.justworks and an account on lemmy.world that isnt fully through the signup process, which you cpuld call 1/2 account)

[–] meatballs 2 points 1 year ago

Same here. Lemmy.world signup is the worst. Have been trying for 3 days now. I'll stick with what works.

[–] Quills 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How many instances i have accounts on? Only 1, this one I'm using right now haha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just the one (lemmy.world), but also have a kbin account just out of curiosity. Been using Lemmy much more though πŸ™ƒ

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] southsamurai 4 points 1 year ago

All of them! hahaha, I will own the fediverse now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have accounts on 3 different instances.

[–] ZebraGoose 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

4, Lemmy.world beehaw.org sh.itjust.works and my own selfhosted πŸ˜„

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.

Just 2: Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.

Still trying to get my bearings before I decided when/if I want to host

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only one, don't feel like having multiple accounts of something that I have to remember to use.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

just 1, i don't have time for multiple ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
  1. I started out with the og Lemmy.ml. 2.Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
  2. Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
  3. Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
  4. Gee... Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable... Better sign up on lemm.ee...

I'll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have one on lemmy.ca and one on kbin.social. The latter was mostly because federation was broken at the time I signed on with the reddit migration.

I'd say I spend more time on lemmy now? Yes, kbin's interface looks more modern and slick but seems less functional? I particularly like that you can collapse threads on lemmy. And I guess a bunch of apps are headed to lemmy first so there's that.

Usually, I like to post/reply using the kbin account if it's to a kbin magazine, but something weird happened the other day. I actually saw a new post on kbin.social from my lemmy account before it showed up on kbin. I'm not sure how that's even possible?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like...[checks sidebar] three: .world, .ee, .film. Oh, and kbin. So far .ee seems the peppiest. Wish I didn't have to recreate my subscriptions each time! 😏

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

6 or 7..I kinda lost track.

Most were to evaluate the best instance.

One or two were just to force manual federation sync of a community I moderate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One on VLemmy.net, 3 on Kbin.

I wanted to get away using the main Kbin.social server, but am finding my accounts on smaller Kbin instances (Fedia.Io and Readit.buzz) have inferior content to Kbin.social. I will often find posts and image previews missing on smaller instances. I also hate how Kbin warns about missing content any time you Federated magazines.

Also, I got tired of waiting for an iPhone app for Kbin and have started using WefWef for Lemmy.

As a result, I am using VLemmy mostly for my browsing.
