I think you can just use whichever one you find most convenient, I would wager lemmy.ml would be your best bet as it's the most active instance. The other accounts I think you could just keep as a backup in case the main lemmy.ml instance goes down.

It's accessible from every instance that is Federated with the other. So for example if I'm on sh.itjust.works and there's a Nintendo community on lemmy.ml, I would be able to access it just by searching [email protected] for example. The same goes for other communities on other instances, you would just replace lemmy.ml with the instance url.
And definitely taking a mental health break from social media is totally ok! I actually had to do a paper on the mental effects of social media in university so I totally understand where you're coming from.
Yup! I personally don't really care how many upvotes/downvotes/ratio I have, or karma or whatever. I just post based on my interests and ask questions/make posts that reflect what I want to know/am interested in.
This. Being able to move to a different instance if your main one is down and being able to host your own are very much pros to this.
Truly feels more like a PR stunt than anything…
Ever since Bing introduced their AI stuff I've been trialing it + Edge on my main computer. It's not so bad but sometimes I do need to use Google to actually find what I'm looking for. Currently using Google on everything else though. The AI stuff is actually pretty good but I feel like if Google makes their implementation more widespread most people are just going to use that vs Bing.
Thanks for this!
Yeah, I feel the same way.. Everyone is like.. nice? Or at the very least friendly yeah, and you get a better reach not in the same way that a post on Reddit can just be buried under other ones.. Sorry for all the comparisons to Reddit lol I just don't know what else to compare something like Lemmy to.
Although I’m almost exclusively 100% a lurker I will try my best to make posts and post comments and stuff! Hope more folks from Reddit will join us and help make Lemmy a formidable competitor to Reddit.
Fell in love with macOS since I started using it in elementary school. Been using macOS as my primary OS for many years now, with Windows 11 for gaming whenever I decide to game on my PC (which isn't too often) and I also have a Chromebook that I put EndeavourOS on just for fun.
That's right, your credentials are unique to your instance.
