Two! One on Lemmy.world a day or two after it was started ... that one is now painfully too slow, and a second that was originally going to be just for porn but now is my main, at least till world is sorted out

Shitjustworks (Backup currently on)
Feddit.de (usually main but currently not reachable from jerboa)
And Burggit.moe (for Porn) (i know there is controversy but i don't give a single fuck)
Just one for the time being: sh.itjust.works. It's based in Canada and I like the name. Are there any benefits of signing up for multiple instances?
yes if one instance is overloaded with user or down you can just switch to other.
2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest
what does it mean if a community is defederated? does that mean that community can only be accessed by the instance it is hosted on?
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the way it works is if instance A defederates B, then users in A won't be able to see posts made in A by users of B. Users of B will continue to see content in A, even reply to topics, it's just that users of A will never see them.
I'm on two right now. It seems like there are issues with comments loading from other instances. For example I commented on a post hosted on instance A from my instance B, but I couldn't see the replies to my comment without going to instance A directly. This left me unable to see or respond directly to their reply without making an account on instance A
Two as of the moment, and I hope I don't need to add more.
1
2 Lemmy instances and also kbin. Wasn't planned, but my first instance was so overrun that there were frequent server problems.
Only 1, haven't needed to have more accounts and there isn't an instantance I have wanted to visit but that has blocked mine yet, so no need to have another one right now
Just the one, I tend to identify a bit too much with the accounts I make. Making a second one in the same space just feels.. wrong somehow.
I have one in kbin, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and this one that I'm using right now in my own instance. So 4 total.
I don't use the first three much anymore now that I have this one but prior to this, I was mostly active in lemmy.one
edit: I forgot to mention that I use the other three to test federation between my instance and others.
Well, I tried kbin.social (which isn't really Lemmy) and lemmy.one, but got nowhere, so I tried sh.itjust.works and surprise, it just worked. So somewhere between 1 and 3?
Two, I'm liking this instance more than lemmy.world
2 but the first was a quick anonymous test that i deleted after quickly getting used to lemmy and this one.
